Such a deep flower!

So, I'm sitting at my desk thinking about how I really need to get back to my blog, and I'm sad to realize that I have nothing interesting to say today....which may be a whole blog in itself. But I'm looking around for anything exciting, and I see these flowers on my desk.

They have been there all week...leftovers from a baby shower last weekend. But there they are. Still blooming, still pretty. And a couple things dawned on me.

First, you should know that these flowers are daisies. They aren't fancy, expensive roses or that flower that blooms once for 30 seconds and dies....they are side of the road daisies! Simple, everyday, but nonetheless lovely. And I thought to myself, how many times do we want to be the rose, or the tulip, or a rare orchid? Maybe I'm just a daisy....simple, sweet, consistent, and still a flower through and through.

And in my pondering of this simple flower, I also thought about how those daisies just kept blooming. At night time, they were still up here on my desk blooming away. In the mornings, they weren't having a rough start! And it just made me think that I hope people see me that way. I'm sure I have my moments, but I hope (and have decided to make it my goal) to "bloom" all the time....that people would walk away and think what I did about those daisies: What a simple, yet lovely piece of God's creation!
