An Analogy

Yesterday, J's sister's family sent me these amazing Tulips and chocloates for my upcoming birthday. I thought they were TOTALLY gorgeous yesterday when I got them!

(so, this is the BEFORE picture -------->)

But this morning, when we came down for breakfast, they were downright PERKY! (this is the AFTER picture <------)

The moral of the story? It is amazing what adequate food, water and rest can do for a weary soul...and we often don't recognize a weary soul until we see them rested!
