And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow they toil not, neither do they spin.
~Matthew 6: 28
I have so many more friends then last year, I wanted to make sure I shared these printables again, because they are one of my favorites. I love this song, and I love the Easter season!
Before I start thinking about pink fluffy bunnies who lay eggs, chocolate candy, and jelly beans, I want to start the Easter season off by remembering Him. I love the scripture above in Matthew. Consider the Lilies by Roger Hoffman is one of my favorite Hymns. To help my family and myself remember the real meaning of Easter, I created these printables. I don't have a mantel, so I display this printable on my piano, as a constant reminder of the season. As always, I am happy to share them with you, I hope you enjoy!This is my favorite version of the song, I hope you enjoy the simple melody as much as I do, I always tear up during the third verse. I love the simple beautiful words of this song, and I have tried to create the same feelings in my printables.
If you would like to print these printables, simply click the image, and it should give you the full size {8x10} print, and you can adjust it from there if needed. Or you can find all of them here in my Photobucket album.
To display my printable I used a simple white frame that I have used for previous printables. I am no floral decorator, but decided to try to make a simple lilly arrangement.
I used a simple vase that I had, but it needed something, it looked a little too-wedding centerpiece for me, so I added some burlap and spring fabric. I hot glued it all together, and tied it with a bow, I like how it turned out.
I love creating these printables, I learn so much from creating them. They are absolutely free, however I would love for you to show your support and follow my blog.
I like to link at these fabulous parties, come join the fun!
Love this. One of my favourite hymns as well. My daughter is one in a long line of girls named Lily.

Those printables are wonderful and that easy vase you made is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing and for linking up at Shindig Saturday! I can't wait to see more of your great ideas.
Beautiful printable!
ReplyDeleteJust keeping the conversation going we were continuing from the blog party. I did a lot of fishing with a bucket...trying to capture very little fish and keep them for a while. My parents fished sometimes...occasionally we would take people out fishing with us, but Id didn't like eating fish and was more interested in making them pets. :-)
I'm a learning gardener...not an expert yet by any stretch of the imagination. Though I actually worked at a garden center when I was in college in California, Texas is a different ball-game, plus up until year before last we didn't own any ground to plant in. When we got a house I thought I'd fill it up with a lush garden immediately, but two years later we're hardly gotten started.
Great idea and beautiful sentiment! Thanks so much for sharing this :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I featured your printable in my post today - http://everyday-is-a-celebration.blogspot.com/2011/04/free-easter-printables-in-blog-land.html

ReplyDeleteI love this! I remember reading To Kill a Mockingbird and there was an allusion to this verse. It's 2 lines in the Bible, put has such a powerful effect!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!
The MoTab does such a great job on this beautiful hymn....I love it. Thanks so much for including it in your post....and for the beautiful print!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to make a print like this... That is one of my favorite scriptures. I often find I remind myself to consider the lilies during my day. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet and generous not to mention uber creative! I'm featuring this next week on All Things Inspired if that's ok!

Love your printables. Thank you for sharing them. Consider the Lilies is a favorite song of ours, our only son-in-law has sung it many times as a special at church, usually playing his guitar.
