My Companion,
We all travel through life in a very hurried pace. Sometimes we can
attend religious services, sometimes, we cannot. However, we can
always take a few minutes to thank God for allowing us to be here, and
to serve our respective Grand Bodies.

Thought
The first rays of the sun shone through the openings of the drapes, announcing that it was going to be a beautiful day. My daughter was going outside to play in the yard when she saw something that stunned her: a beautiful sunflower. It had sprouted from some sunflower seeds we had left in the yard. This was the first time Rebecca had seen a sunflower, and she stretched out her hands to the sky and thanked God for such beauty.
She was only three years old, but she saw God's greatness in the beauty of that flower. Until the day the flower died, she insisted on praising God for it every morning. Her ritual reminded us that each new day is a wonderful gift from God.
The memory of this scene has accompanied me through the years and has shown me that even when life seems rough, there are always sunflowers - reminders of the goodness of God that illuminate our existence and renew our hope. We can recognize in simple things the sign of our Creator.
