A Bouquet of Flowers!
Season of Gratitude
A bouquet of flowers!
But . . . they’re so expensive. I leave my thoughts unspoken. You could have spent the money on so many others things: something more practical, gifts more lasting. Flowers fade so quickly!
A bouquet of flowers! Why do I find it so difficult to accept the fragrant blossoms? Is it a matter of control? Do I want to control how you spend your money? Don’t I trust you to be responsible with money? Or deep down, do I think I don’t deserve them?
A bouquet of flowers! Why can’t I just receive them with uninhibited joy, accepting that you give them with no strings, no ulterior motives?
A bouquet of flowers!
Thank you.
I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord. Psalm 116:17
