If things are tough, remember that every flower that ever bloomed had to go through a whole lot of dirt to get there. The almighty Father will use life's reverses to move you forward. So do not keep grieving about a bitter experience. The present is slipping by while you are regretting the past and worrying about the future. Regret will not prevent tomorrow's sorrows; it will only rob today of its strength.

Choices not chance determine your destiny.

Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness.

The joy of motherhood: what a mother experiences when all her children are in bed

We spend our lives dreaming of the future, not realizing that a little of it slips away every day.

Old florists never die. They just make other arrangements.

Violets are God's apology for February.
