Reflection

“If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.” ~ Thérése of Liseaux

Prayer

God of uniqueness,

So often in life, we find ourselves wishing to be someone else, thinking they are stronger, more beautiful, or more gifted than we are. Yet when we pause and reflect on the blessings you have given us, we begin to see the beauty within our own lives. Guide us to cherish the gifts you have planted in each of us and to resist the urge to compare ourselves to others. Together, we create a world rich in uniqueness and wonder. Amen.

Call to Action

Take a few moments today and walk outside to see the beauty of all the different types of flowers. Now compare that with all the different types of beautiful people, and then give thanks.
