And, I know it--right? Why does their bloom so quickly fade? but the fragrance...I might steal your idea about filling the casket with them. Except, I'm starting to lean toward being cremated. This is morbid talk. Let's get together and read some Beuchner and be glad to be alive. Soon. :) Yes, please wait until another May :) . And, I know it–right?

I love lilacs and I, too, take comfort and encouragement from what blooms around me, mindful of their hope and promise, like love letters from God. I've never lived in a place where those live YET. Maybe God will surprise me. And I've thought about your yellow post often since you shared it. It speaks to me. Love the way you think my friend. Oh Nancy, we are kindred you and I.

We don't have them here in south Texas. When we lived in NY, I couldn't get enough of them. Perhaps part of their beauty is their brevity. We know we must treasure each fragrant bloom because soon they will be gone. I think that might be a little life lesson for me right there. This is, as always, beautiful Nancy. And I do think they will bloom forever in heaven. I really do :) I miss lilacs. We don’t have them here in south Texas. When we lived in NY, I couldn’t get enough of them.

Their fragrance is a sweet reminder of my mother and grandmother. Oh, how God loves the fragrance of our sweet offerings. Thanks for a lovely post. Oh, how I love the lilacs.

It makes washing dishes like a prayer. But as they fade, at least there are buds on the peonies... I’ve got a love letter from God on the sill above my sink right now.

You captured their fragrance and the feeling so well. I'm glad to read, too, someone else's thoughts for their 'when I die' glory song. When I first started blogging I posted a story about just that. (http://threewaylight.blogspot.com/2012/02/song-of-your-life.html) just for fun. Thanks for the delightful smiles today (and the wonderful old hymn). I LOVE old hymns.

After three years of waiting and coaxing with lime powder,it finally bloomed. The flowers were indeed heavenly. We have a white lilac bush growing beside our deck.
