I know these aren't lillies, but I thought this scripture went along with the sunflowers I saw also.

"For, consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin;

and the kingdoms of the world, in all their glory, are not arrayed like one of these.

For your Father, who is in heaven, knoweth that you have need of all these things.

Therefore, let the morrow take thought for the things of itself."

-- D&C 84:82-84

As I drove home from Kendra's place, I saw millions of sunflowers along the roadsides.  They were everywhere.  I know the sunflower fairy didn't come along and plant them, so they must be tough flowers.  They continue to come back year after year and they survive even in the hottest climates.  I think they are beautiful.  They are always looking to the sun - the source of their energy.  They turn their heads all day to focus on the sunlight - they are always looking for the good in the world.  Maybe we can each be more like these beautiful flowers.  If we look to the Son (Jesus Christ) then we can receive the strength we need to survive this tough old world.  If we turn our heads to Jesus Christ then we can find the direction we need in our lives.  He will help us through each day of our lives if we turn our life to him.  We can find the help we need to not only survive, but to thrive.  If we keep focused on the light we will be alright. 

"And I will also be your light in the wilderness; and I will prepare a way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments; wherefore inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall be led towards the promised land; and ye shall know that it is by me that ye are led."

-- 1 Nephi 17:13

I loved this final picture.  It looks like the flower is waving at you.

Let's all smile and wave - just smile and wave!
