A unique Elder Maxwell quote

"Our perfect Father does not expect us to be perfect children yet. He had only one such Child. Meanwhile, therefore, sometimes with smudges on our cheeks, dirt on our hands, and shoes untied, stammeringly but smilingly we present God with a dandelion--as if it were an orchid or a rose! If for now the dandelion is the best we have to offer, He receives it, knowing what we may later place on the altar. It is good to remember how young we are spiritually."-Elder Neal A. Maxwell

  1. it's even easier to remember how young I am when I can look at my little guys and see that exact picture. not to mention how much we learn from children, and how imperfect that makes me feel!
