A beautiful pair of yellow lilies

In one form or another, lilies have been adorning flower gardens around the world for thousands of years, and almost everywhere I go these days I see them growing in flower beds, along fence rows, and even in the ditches that line the country roads here in the Mountain Empire. Today's picture features a pair of beautiful yellow lilies blossoming in all their summertime glory. Lilies have long been one of the most popular flowers in the world, held in such high regard that even Jesus Himself came to be referred to as "The lily of the valley". And when we look at this picture it's easy to understand why. The magnificent yellow petals are without a spot or blemish, symbols of perfection in their beauty and grace. I guess you could say this magnificent flower really is the perfect symbol of a magnificent and perfect Saviour. Of course lilies come in many varieties and colors, all of which are very beautiful and pleasing to the eye, but the ones pictured above are simply spectacular.
