The Story of the Flower

There is great beauty in a garden

there is a joy in dirty nails

the story of the flower is

for all of us

we start small

and

grow into great beauty

The Gift of Flowers

There once was a garden where small flowers lived
They were happy and pretty
They wanted to give
They wondered aloud how their gifts were best used
They knew with their beauty they couldn't lose
They sat and watched as butterflies flew
and lighted on petals of orange and blue
the flowers were happy
but had more to give
they knew they were there to help others to live

The Miracle of the Seed

It is amazing how a little seed

can make a beautiful flower

they just keep growing

until they bloom,

help people to smile and

bask in the miracle

of God's art

God's Art

God doesn't even need a color wheel!

Sweet Thoughts

Kids can be so kind and so real that it brings tears to my eyes. Cara brought me some weeds from the yard and put them in a cup.........she brought me sunshine!

This week was teacher appreciation week at school. We had cupcakes ready for the teachers but Ellie took the time to write each one of her teachers a "thank you" note. She did this without anyone telling her to do so.

All adults could learn so much from children. Children follow their hearts without hesitation. Let's all look at pretty yellow weeds as flowers!!!

Look for Beauty

I have found

that if I

take a camera

outside

and look for

God's art

I will find it

in flowers

in the sky

in things that

speak

"look at me, See the beauty"

It's there

we just

have to

start looking

The Rain

In a flower bed there are beautiful flowers
They are standing up facing the sun
They are happy
people admire them
They know God put them there to help people
Then a storm approaches
The flowers are nervous
The storm knocks them down
After the storm they lie on the ground
They look defeated
Then God sends the sun
They began to stand up
Soon they are more beautiful than before
and they understand better
