So I was outside with my kiddos doing my prayer time. My sweet little daughter cries out mama and runs a beautiful bouquet of wild flowers up to me!! Then my little guy who is two yells mama and runs a crumpled mess of wild flower heads up to me all squished in his cute little hand!! Along the way in his excitement he trips and falls and drops the flower heads. He gets back up says oh ohhhh!! He picks up the flower heads and re squishes them and brings them the rest of the way to me!! So here is the question that came to my heart. Which gift was more precious? The beautifully picked bouquet

or the squished flower heads?

I thought then that this is like it is for Abba!! All his little kiddos running around and offering him gifts, right?? Well, then I think each kiddo is at a different place in development and is capable of different things. In some ways the crumpled flower heads took more effort and endurance than the more beautifully arranged bouquet!! This is the bottom line you all!! We are all in different places in our walks with the king. We all have different gifts and talents, we all fall sometimes. We should not look to the right or the left and compare ourselves with any other sibling!! We are fearfully and wonderfully made!! Amen!! I am only a human mother, I loved the gifts equally!! How much more amazing is the savior of the world!! The creator of the Universe!! Stay encouraged!! Keep your heads up and know how much you are loved by Yahshua!!(No matter how many times you have fallen!!)
