The bible is filled with so many things that apply to every imaginable situation. When I think of Lily and the later part of her life, the Lord Jesus pointed me to Psalms 103. It is beautiful, it speaks of God's character towards us. He is ever so loving to us all.
This gives me great joy and peace as only God can give. It reminds me that our prayers are not in vain. It reminds me that He restores all things to His glory. So while we will come up short in this life, those who believe in God have the promise and hope of being perfected in Him on the other side of Heaven.
I thank God for the time that I knew Lily and the four beautiful blessings in Edilia, Azalea, Lilia, and Jose Luis that carry on the legacy of all that was good in Lily.
