June Flowers

Did you know that flowers are uplifting? It is so amazing to see how God creates the variety of plants and flowers to bring smiles. We are also different from one another. All unique. We all look different, grow best in one light or another, and have different fragrance.
Today as you think about discipleship and growth consider the lilies of the field. They neither work or labor, yet they have everything they need. Sometimes we have chosen to put expectations on ourselves or others based on what we need. We may need less light, or more water, or a more quiet environment to reach our potential. As you consider the unrealistic expectations you place on yourself and others remember that we are all created uniquely.
Be kind to one another, help foster the beauty in others by giving enough space in the garden. Enjoy the flowers you can see at this time. Invite others to be blessed by the light and life that helps you grow. Enjoy the beauty of today. Stop and enjoy the blessings of God all around you.

God, thank you for the beauty of variety. Help me to be kind to people. Remind me of the best light. Help me know what is right for me. Thank you for sustaining my every need.
Amen.
