The brightest flowers grow in the ugliest pots

I was having a really hard Timon day yesterday when I read this and I thought okay - I didn't have to assemble that legal team or wait 2 years with all that pain to hear the verdict!  I didn't have to prove damages!  I felt very blessed.  We started a new family tradition - I think I might have mentioned it to you -the family testimony meeting right after church.  It was awesome.  I told Timon that I knew he was the big beautiful flower in the ugly pot (from Thomas S. Monson talk at Relief Society Meeting).  It was that Heavenly Father loved him so much to send him to this earth with an Autistic body.  And that even though his body makes it hard for him to always behave the right way or do the socially appropriate thing - that Heavenly Father knows he is trying.

When he bore his testimony he told us how hard he is trying and that he would keep trying.
