Water the Flowers

 I read a post from a lady in our stake and it resonated with me.  She has a parenting blog.

Parents will look through a beautiful field of flowers, vibrant and glorious, ignore them all and find one weed.  

And they'll water it.

What if we learned how to do the opposite?

What if we could look through a field of weeds, thorn covered and noxious, and find ONE FLOWER.

And water it.

Build on strengths. Water the flowers friends, not the weeds, #lookforthegood

This can apply to everything in life!  I want to be better at this!  I need to be!

Same! It seems to be part of the natural man to zone in on imperfections. I dream of becoming like Sister Hinckley who seemed to see the good in everyone and in everything! And people felt her love and approval.
