Faith is like a little seed...


Coming into my house today I saw our first and only tulip. Last year we ripped up our front yard and with it all of our beautiful tulips. Of course we never got around to planting more and will have to wait until this coming fall. This one little tulip reminded me of the song in primary that I sang when I was young and that my children still sing. Faith is like a little seed, if planted it will grow... Then while out running errands today I found this amazing quote. "I believe in the sun, even when it isn't shining, in love even when I'm alone and in God even when he is silent." This was found etched on a wall in Germany by someone who was hiding from the Nazi's. I thought this quote was so powerful and had to share it.


Isn't it amazing how the small and simple things in life can represent and mean so much. My darling Christian just returned from school (while I was typing this post) and the first thing he said to me was "Spring is here." I asked him how he knew this and he told me he saw our only tulip. How interesting we would both notice on the same day. I am so glad we at least have this one beautiful flower to remind us just like the sweet song we sing in primary that ... Faith is knowing the sun will rise, lighting each new day.Faith is knowing the Lord will hear my prayers each time I pray.Faith is like a little seed:If planted, it will grow.Faith is a swelling within my heart.When I do right, I know.

FAMILY
I love my family so much. To be apart of a family like mine is so divine, where love is shown hurt is shared our love for each other is never impaired. We talk we laugh we cry, but we are a family and we do it all together. For as a family we do it all as one you hurt one you hurt all and as a family unit we will all stand tall. For we are family a family full of strength a family full of love a family no one can touch. That is why I love my family so much.
