I still cannot believe no two snowflakes are alike. When it snows in Colorado I sometimes get close to inspect each flake. It’s fascinating. To think our Creator cares about every little detail of His creation amazes me.
And then there is YOU.
Your uniqueness.
Like your eyes for example. No one else has the same iris design.
Or your smile. Special to your face.
Your voice. Your accent, the way you say certain words. Only yours.
Your skin. What about that special mole? Don’t you love it? 🙂
Or what about the time you fell off your bike and skinned your knee? Or the time you cut yourself shaving. Or that tough surgery. No one else has your scars.
Your fingerprints. Eight fingers and two thumbs, each uniquely swirled.
Your weaknesses and strengths. Do you know yours?
Your secrets.
Your fears.
Your dreams.
Your tears.
Or that crazy laugh of yours.
Your special talents and gifts. I can’t do exactly what you do the way you do it, nor can you do what I do. Aren’t you glad?
Your life story thus far, all by design. For God’s glory.
You matter.
YOU are unique.
Today I thank God for YOU.
Repeat with me: I will NOT be self critical today. Instead I will thank God and marvel at my uniqueness.
(Read Psalm 139 for a deeper look at the wonder of YOU.)
Excellent. Uniqueness and rarity = greater worth. Think of gold. Not much of it, right, so it is worth more than a metal that is more plentiful, such as tin. Same goes with people. Each of us is unique and rare in some way, so that translates into greater worth. Now, if we could only get that into our hearts …
Great post.
Loved your added insight about rarity and gold. Thanks, Warren.
Oh, I love Psalm 139, it is time I read it again. I appreciate you Tiffany! Great post. Lori
Thanks, Lori. I need to read Psalm 139 every day. Or better yet, memorize it and start my day saying it out loud. 🙂
Thank you for the encouragement! Also wanted to thank you for the beautiful calender. I only wish I had a color printer. Make have to make a run to the printers. Such beautiful pictures, I especially like the November. What an awesome picture, did you take them?
Thanks, Carleen. Yes, I took all the photos. I love looking for beauty with my camera. Feel free to forward the calendar to someone with a colored printer to get it printed.
PS I have your same problem, no colored printer.
