Dandelions

I don't have much time today but I just wanted to share this little story with you to remind you all that God is real, and that He is aware of us and loves us very much.

There was one particular day this week where absolutely nothing was going right. We were running late to an appointment, finally made it and found out they weren't there, and then ran into a couple of people who definitely could have been a lot nicer, and it was really hot, and there was so much to be done still, and I remember feeling extremely frustrated.

I remember thinking about how I can't do the Lord's work without His Spirit, so I was praying in my head and heart that I would be able to find the joy through all of this, and better enjoy the moment.

The next corner we turned, I found a dandelion. (For those who don't know, I absolutely love dandelions, because blowing the little seeds always makes me smile.) I almost teared up looking at the little thing in the ground.

One of my best friends who is also serving a mission told me, "The best way to prepare for the future is to enjoy the now." Maybe for you, you need to look for the roses, maybe it is finding a penny on the ground, but there is always a way to enjoy the now.

Remembering Christ, His love and friendship, is the best way that we can find joy in whatever life throws at us.

I love you all!
