Sunshine and Flowers
‘Tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes! -William Wordsworth

When we love someone it isn't always perfect. There are times we mess up and wish we wouldnt have said something but there are also times we could have spoken a word of encouragement but failed to do so.
Life is so totally unpredictable and none of us knows what a day holds. We cannot ever go back but we can gather up the sweetest memories and learn from the times of pain. There is a saying that goes, Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is the present, that is why it is a gift.
Time is the most valuable gift. You cant wrap it with paper and ribbons because it is something that we are using and investing in constantly. It takes time to eat and sleep, work and play and do so many things . Somethings take a long time , somethings not so long. We all have our own wants and needs and there is nothing wrong with time for ourselves, infact it is a healthy choice but the time we have been given is also meant to be shared. Sometimes it seems like a sacrifice but when it is done with a heart of love you will find blessings that last a lifetime and memories that bring smiles for years to come.
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these."
George Washington Carver
Yes indeed, God is in our sadness and our laughter, in the bitter and the sweet. There is a divine purpose behind everything — and therefore a divine presence in everything. God is our greatest comfort especially in those moments that don't make sense and, in the moments, when you say, "God, you did this for me" and rejoice and give Him the glory!
-Unknown
God is with us in our laughter and our tears, He rejoices over us and He comforts us, He holds our tears in a bottle. He sees us in the night when we cannot sleep because we are worried about things and He longs to gather us close and speak to our hearts to fear not.
Psalm 56:8 says, You keep tract of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in a bottle. You have recorded each one in Your book. NLT
You are never all alone even when others don't understand. God knows and He hears your hearts cry
Be encouraged today in His great love
