My sister Nancy sent us cold, hard bulbs less than 6 weeks ago. They came with instructions to just water them sparingly and put them in some sunlight. Within that short 6 weeks, these beautiful Amaryllis bloomed forth. How often life is like these bulbs. It looks hard and like nothings beautiful will ever come forth. When we exercise faith and hope and allow some of the natural influences of the Savior in our lives, beauty can be ours in a short time.
