Life Lessons From Nature


We can learn much from nature. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ created a world full of beauty and lessons that can help us in our journeys here on earth. 
Some of the most magical moments of our lives are connected with nature. 
You can’t always capture the beauty, colors, the feelings & the sounds. 
Spiritual experiences are the same way.

The smell of lilac on a warm spring evening - impossible to capture in words or image. 
Words are often inadequate to describe our spiritual experiences. 

Often the most delicate parts of our nature are difficult for others to see -
 like the inability of the camera (or photographer) 
to capture the beautiful, delicate blue of forget-me nots.

The right tools are of great help. 
Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost will help us know which tools to use for different parts of our journey on earth. He's given us prayer and scriptures. He also provides other tools - often by way of the people in our lives. 

Just like lilacs, our lives have seasons. 
We need to slow down and notice the beauty and uniqueness of each season. 
They go by much too quickly. 

Sometimes we get battered & torn, often inadvertently. 
This plant was probably stepped on just as the leaves emerged. 
We can still leaf out and be beautiful even if we suffer some battering along the way. 

The beauty of our beings can bloom and bust forth 
despite the chain link fences in our lives.
