Sometimes God uses the strangest most unexpected stuff to speak. My path became clearer tonight in a way I never expected. Then I was driving home from Mount Pleasant and after listening to a sermon of Darrell’s, which served to fire me up so much that I was under that now famous cloud of glory, I was just taking time to pray and worship. Mostly tonight I was singing. And suddenly I sang something that was so powerful in what it said. I wrote it down and said, “God?” More to meditate on. Some definite surprises tonight.

The lily of the valley signifies the return of happiness. Legend tells of the affection of a lily of the valley for a nightingale that did not come back to the woods until the flower bloomed in May.

A slow but aggressive spreader, Lily of the Valley will tolerate dry conditions after blooming but the foliage will die back. Constant moisture will keep the plants green throughout the growing season. They prefer shade and will grow in most soil types. Fragrant bell shaped flowers are followed by glossy red berries. It is often called ladder to heaven or Jacob's tears, and is considered the sign of Christ's second coming. The Song of Solomon in the Bible also mentions Lily of the valley.
