A gardener friend of mine said that flowers, unlike people, never complain. They never feel that other flowers got more sunshine or more water or were put in better soil or in gardens with better plants. Flowers just bloom where they're planted and make the best of their situations. How about us? I believe that we would be better off if we use our present circumstances as a starting point and accept them, yet still grow towards the sun. Are we complaining about the soil or beds in which we are planted? Accept exactly where you are and give thanks that you have an opportunity to grow from there.
