What is it about daisies?

This post was originally written in the spring of last year. I am finally stepping out in faith, despite my fears, and publishing this blog:
Daises are a fairly common flower and in my humble opinion rather overlooked and under appreciated.  They come in many sizes and variations, but my favorite is the plain and simple basic white with a sunny yellow center.  I have always loved daisies.  Probably a love either inherited from, or instilled by, my mother who had a Shasta Daisy plant at every house we lived.  More often then not it was a plant I and my siblings had given her for the first mother's day in that house.
Even though I grew up loving daisies it was only recently that I began to see a parallel in my life with a daisy plant.  You see no one ever strives to be a daisy, a plain old ordinary daisy.  In fact, in terms of flowers most girls would strive to be roses, or irises, or orchids.  You know big, beautiful, exotic, rare one-of-a-kind flowers that everyone notices and no one wants to forget.  The kind of flower that when you see it out of the corner of your eye you look again in admiration.  Or the flowers that make everyone want to take pictures and linger in their sweet smelling air.  Those are the kind of flowers girls want to be, certainly not an ordinary daisy.  Yet lately I feel like God has been whispering to me, "I have made you a daisy, why are you trying to be something you are not?  You are beautiful just as you are.  Lovely just as you are.  Special just as you are." 
And thus, I have taken a new look at the daisy.  I have thought about what is special about the daisy, what is noteworthy about the daisy, and why it is an honor to be designed like a daisy.  That is what this blog is going to be about... the beauty in the seemingly little and ordinary things of life, such as a daisy.
