Story

There once was a blue glass jar that sat on an old windowsill, not far from the fields. It wasn’t fancy, just a jar once meant for something long forgotten, now washed and repurposed for something new.

Each morning, the woman of the house would walk the edges of her garden, collecting whatever flowers the Lord had given that day. Sometimes a bloom was bold, sometimes bruised, sometimes barely holding on. Still, she placed each one in the jar, offering it a place to be seen.

The jar never chose the flowers, it simply made room.

Visitors would comment on the little arrangement in the window, how peaceful it looked, how it made the room feel like home. And though she never spoke of it aloud, the woman knew what it truly was: a daily act of gratitude.

Because it wasn’t the perfection of the flowers that mattered, it was the practice of offering what she had.

“She has done what she could.”
Mark 14:8
