THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES OF HELEN'S.
"WHEN WE COMPLAIN OF HAVING TO DO THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER, LET US REMEMBER THAT GOD DOES NOT SEND NEW TREES, STRANGE FLOWERS AND DIFFERENT GRASSES EVERY YEAR. WHEN THE SPRING WINDS BLOW, THEY BLOW IN THE SAME WAY. IN THE SAME PLACES THE SAME DEAR BLOSSOMS LIFT UP THE SAME SWEET FACES, YET THEY NEVER WEARY US. WHEN IT RAINS, IT RAINS THE SAME AS IT ALWAYS HAS. EVEN SO WOULD THE SAME TASKS WHICH FILL OUR DAILY LIVES PUT ON NEW MEANINGS IF WE WROUGHT THEM IN THE SPIRIT OF RENEWAL FROM WITHIN--A SPIRIT OF GROWTH AND BEAUTY."
AN EASTER MESSAGE TO THE BOSTON COMMUNITY CHURCH, 1932

That's pretty deep. Makes one think about the daily routine and how I just mindlessly go through them. I think I will be able to remember this quote and understand that it is like the rain and the flowers. It should always be fresh and beautiful, the daily mundane things. Thanks for sharing the quote. God bless.
