Some are saying we are teetering on the brink of an economic recession. Others claim we are already in one. In any case, it would appear that we may be in for a period of hard times, a challenging period of unknown duration. And what should our attitude be as we enter this potentially difficult cycle? Why, what else? We should be optimistic, of course. Every spring in the deserts of the west and southwest wildflowers face a less than promising future. For them, hard times always loom on the horizon. But do they let these disappointing prospects discourage them? Do they allow them to dampen their indomitable spirits? Oh, hell no! Discouragement is nowhere to be found in their radiant and majestic natures. If God endows within these stunningly beautiful and delicate organisms such a powerful will to survive, such a powerful will to blossom forth in all their glory, even in the face of hard times and overwhelming odds, should not we, as the very children of that same benevolent God, emulate their simple and elegant confidence?
