We both have been so busy that we hadn't spoken for awhile. How did she know?
How did she know my heart was heavy that day?
How did she know my heart was heavy that day?
Her thoughtful visit lifted my spirits. Just seeing her would have been enough.
Her timing was impeccable.
Those sunflowers were like sunshine in my kitchen so that's where I kept them.
Everyone loved them!
Our garage is detached so we usually come in the back kitchen door.

They were the first thing to catch your eye when you came in the house.

They did their magic for days!

"Keep your face to the sunshine
and you cannot see the shadow.
It's what sunflowers do."
by Helen Keller
They reminded me of our ward's Relief Society theme a few years ago."Sisters and Sunflowers"We gave all the sisters this poem:Follow The SonSunflowers always follow the sun,From early morning, 'til the day is done. They follow across the sky until night eagerly soaking in the warmth of its light. Like this loyal flower we too can be Fed by His light spiritually. As we follow His son, Jesus Christ Becoming like Him as we soak in His light. In most any soil their seeds will grow With plenty of water and sunshine galore. Small buds soon appear, then the protecting leaf And thick stocks to support the head full of seeds. We too can grow where we are sown, By studying the scriptures and learning of home. Our parents, teachers and leaders protect us As our testimony grows stronger of our brother Jesus. When the sunflower crown forms, it's a royal gold The blessings of it's growth are beginning to show. The seeds you share; love, kindness and testimony too Will help others see the Golden Crown in you. So follow the Son, open your heart to His light, Seek Him first thing each morning and last one at night. Follow Him through the heat of each day, Live your life to become like Him -- It's the only way. | ||
I hadn't read that in a long time. I love it. | ||
