hidden treasure

When you think about pearls, you might picture their shiny surface and gentle beauty. But pearls have a deeper meaning. They stand for purity and show how strong they can be. Pearls form when something irritating gets inside an oyster. Instead of giving up, the oyster creates a beautiful pearl from that irritation. Pearls also remind us of personal growth. Just like oysters, we can learn and grow from our challenges. Each pearl has a unique story, just like each person. As you think about pearls, consider what lessons you can find in your own life. What challenges have helped you become who you are today?
