“The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm.” – St. Therese of Lisieux
It is easy to see the beauty of a certain stage of life and only the darkness of another. Yet, as we are reminded by St. Therese in this quote, there is beauty to all elements of life, every stage, every age, every strength, and every life.
If you find yourself struggling to see the beauty of your own life at this moment, take it to prayer, print out this quote, and put it somewhere you will see it each day. Ask God to remind you when you are struggling to see the splendor of your life to show you what He sees in you.
