Different is Beautiful

Geese-1050x1000

We should not be afraid to stand out in a crowd. All through my life I have struggled comparing myself with others; whether in work, as a mom, as a wife, friend, etc. I love how this picture shows the beauty in being different; in not trying to be like everyone else. Each of us has qualities that are unique and special. Without them, life would be a dull canvas.

At times I feel overwhelmed at the needs around me and my guilt for not praying for, financially supporting or acting in a way to meet those needs. But when I realize that God has created each of us to do good works that He has prepared for US, I am free to let the guilt go knowing that I was not created to do it all and He has equipped others to share in those areas.

We are each unique in our abilities. We are each created with purpose and value. Likewise, our individual artistic eye in photography touches lives in special ways. And we are free to be beautifully different.
