crayons

On the way back up to family camp my dad and I listened to a talk by Janet Lee (wife of Rex Lee, former President of BYU).
She talked about life being like a box of crayons.
Sometimes we want to pick out a certain color but Heavenly Father knows that's not what we need so He doesn't even place that color in the box.

It was interesting to think about life as a box of crayons.
Yellow is my favorite crayon.
It's the one that I always want to pick out.
But sometimes Heavenly Father has me pick out a pink or a brown or a purple one.
And they always make my life the color that I need it to be.
Trusting that the color of my crayon at each particular time of my life is the right one for me is the key.

Love, J.
