Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Today’s Gift

February 19, 2012

Remember I read “One Thousand Gifts” by Ann Voskamp? Remember how after I read that I started looking for gifts each day – special things that seemed to be only for me? Well, today, I received one of those gifts.

I was in Aldi waiting for the conveyer belt to free up so I could get my groceries on it, when I spied the flower rack. In that rack – right in the middle – was this bouquet of beautiful pink roses! I went closer to have a look and decided to buy them. They were only $3 and I really needed a lift today.

Back home, after I unloaded the groceries, I found my favorite vase and put the roses in. However, I saved the pinkest one to put in this beautiful little vase I have and rarely get to use. That one went to my room on my nightstand. Later that day, that single flower opened up so much and it is just incredible in its beauty – that’s when I realized it. This is a gift – a very special gift.

A bit fuzzy, but the beauty is still there.

The rose on my nightstand in all its glory!

Thank you Lord for your gifts today!

Yep - $3! The one I put in my room has lasted over a week and the others lasted a week. I'll have to get some more now :0).
