You Have Taught Me...

That I can take the time to smell the flowers

That I can make a bouquet out of almost anything, from "weeds" to evergreen boughs to dead sticks

That inner beauty (like a flower brought indoors) is more important than surface appearances

That patience and humility are cultivated in silence and wonder

That releasing a "bouquet" -- a bunch of flowers, the day's events, my own cares and concerns -- is more rewarding than keeping it for myself

And that yellow, your favorite color, really is the happiest hue out there

God bless you, Sister of My Heart

Lovingly,

Healed By His Wounds
