Consider the lilies!

I heard this story this past weekend. It was told by my sister-in-law Penny! I hope I get this story right! "He is definitely all knowing" A couple that Penny knows just found out that the husband had a few months left to live. There is a story behind that as well, I wont go into it for time sake. Since the time they found out the diagnosis and told everyone, the Relief Society President of the ward could not get the the song Consider the lilies out of her head.The Mormon Tabernacle Choir performs it! She went so far as to give them a lily and the words to the song! Thats how much she was thinking about it! The Relief Society President called up to the conference center and asked if they did requests! LOL! Of course, she was told no! They choose the songs for conference months in advance. The lady pleaded with the women on the phone. Told her the circumstances behind it! The lady was very sympathetic to her plight, but continued to tell her there was no way the director was going to change the music, especially since he had a last minute song change a couple weeks ago! The lady was getting ready to hang up and said to her at the last minute," by the way, what song was it that you wanted them to sing." She told her "Consider the Lilies" and the women at the conference center literally dropped the phone! Could not believe it and told the R.S.P that was the song he had changed it to! The lady continued to tell the R.S.P that it was very unusual for the songs to be changed, so soon to conference time! Makes you wonder...Is it coincidence or something else? You choose! Im putting on the link for youtube so you can listen to the song if you dont know or remember it! I just thought it was a cool story! Thought I would share it! Remember to turn off my playlist if you want to listen!
