I love Sunday.
Today, we talked about flamingos. Did you know flamingos aren't just naturally pink? Some are lighter, some are darker, some can even be white. Flamingos are only pink when they eat the right nutrients that their bodies need to produce their pink pigment.I want to feast like a flamingo.
Flamingos aren't ashamed of their pink color. If they eat right, you can tell because they will be florescent pink. They don't try to hide their pink color, that's what makes them unique! No one really wants to see a white flamingo, or a light pink one, we want to see bright pink pretty healthy flamingos!I want to feast like a flamingo.
Now, put this in a gospel (or life) perspective. When you are doing the right things, the things you love, and make you happy, it shows in your countenance. People see it. People can see when you just have the glow of life around you.I want to feast like a flamingo.
Don't be ashamed of your color. Do what makes you happy, and what makes you glow. Remember to be like a flamingo. Be happy with who you are, and do what you love! Only then can you really be happy. I've found that there are always things that have to be done. And even though you have to do them, they may not be something you want to do. Yet, they have to be done. The important thing is to make sure there is time for YOU between all those things. A flamingo has to eat, but the happy ones eat what makes them shine their brightest. Do what makes you shine YOUR brightest.
Feast like a flamingo.
I read that talk in the new era! I love it. I love how it said flamingos are not ashamed to be pink. I think we all need to take that to heart and not be ashamed. Not be ashamed the we are who we are. Not be ashamed that we have te truth in our lives. Thanks for this. Love, Marci
ReplyDeleteOh Marci! You make me so happy. I agree, I love thinking they aren't ashamed to be pink, and they aren't prideful about it either. They are a great example :)
