Taking Time to Smell...the Azaleas!

Okay -- so Azaleas don't really have a fragrance but Francesca and I took time this morning to enjoy their beauty. Everywhere I've ever lived I've always been in a panic when I know I'm leaving...all those places to go and see that I haven't gotten around to. There are tons of places in this area that fall in that category. But today I get to check one off my list -- this home in Odessa. Here's an article about how it came to be: http://www.middletowntranscript.com/news/x876167045/Odessa-in-full-bloom

The Primary Song, "I think the World is Glorious" kept going through my mind as we were walking their yard today. What a wonderful thing to share with everyone -- it might not be Longwood Gardens but it was awesome to think that one family could accomplish this without charging admission!! We weren't alone this morning either - one lady I talked to for a second said it was her third time there this week!

Francesca told me that this was a testimony to her of how much her Heavenly Father loves her -- I couldn't agree more. So grateful for my sweet daughter who has learned this life lesson from her parents and grandparents -- to look for the beauty and feel the testimony. I sing and sing and sing and sing - a song of joy and love. I sing and sing and sing and sing my thanks to God above.
