Tiny Flower?

I'm always curious how people come up with names for blogs, or other online AKA's. Tiny Flower popped into my head today, as I decided to once again start a blog.

Saint Therese of Lisieux is my inspiration. She was a cloistered Carmelite Nun called, Little Flower. Being much less than she, I chose something smaller.

She knew as a Carmelite nun she would never be able to perform great deeds. " Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions for love.

Therese's "little way" of trusting in Jesus to make her holy and relying on small daily sacrifices instead of great deeds appealed to all who were trying to find holiness in ordinary lives.

So, this is how I try and live my life, by doing little things each day. My body fights me at anything I do. Great Deeds are forbidden me as well.

Tiny things, a hug, a smile, doing laundry.. these are all small deeds and I try to do them all with Love.
