Flower Talk

I was chatting with my ridiculously amazing sister today. She is my example in so many ways and is the inspiration for this post.

Exhibit A


A gardenia. One of the most beautiful of flowers (my mom's favorite actually). It looks white, pure, and perfect in every way.




Picture for me a field of these flowers. Your eye scans over the mass of pure beauty and then, right in the middle...

You see..

Exhibit B




This is "bird of paradise", a flower Kristi introduced me to today.



People with true humility are like a "bird of paradise" in a field of gardenias. It is beautiful, but it's out of the ordinary.

Now... how to transform from the gardenia I am into a bird of paradise?
