I was very surprised to receive three beautiful flower arrangements for my birthday. I don’t believe I have ever received so many flowers at one time. I felt special and loved for sure!
The first arrangement was a simple bouquet of white daisies. My husband knows that daisies are my favorite flower and that I love a bouquet that looks like it was picked straight from the garden. The arrangement was perfect!
The second arrangement was another bouquet of white daisies, but it also included carnations and roses in the most perfect shad
e of pink. My son and daughter-in-law know that daisies are my favorite flower, that I also love pink roses and that the smell of carnations bring back happy childhood memories. The arrangement was perfect!
The third arrangement also included white daisies but with bright yellow daisies mixed in. My father-in-law and stepmother-in-law know that I love daisies and bright colors. Of course, the bright yellow color makes me feel happy as it reminds me of the sunshine. The arrangement was perfect!
All three bouquets were different, yet all three bouquets were absolutely perfect! I couldn’t have chosen a favorite. They each had distinct qualities that made them special.
The beautiful arrangements sitting on my desk reminded me of each of us. We are all the same in that we are created in God’s image, but at the same time, we are all different. We each have a different combination of physical features, personalities, gifts and talents. Each of us is God’s unique creation. We are His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10 NLT). He designed each of us exactly how He wants us. His work is absolutely perfect!
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
~Psalm 139:13-16
