Large Blossoms

Walking home today I saw a hydrangea bush with one huge bloom. And I thought, "In life is it better to have one large blossom or many small ones?"
One huge flower -- like a huge success. Many small flowers -- like many small victories. And I realized the question wasn't which one was better than the other. The real question was: What was that plant designed for? A rose bush with only one rose is disappointing. But a sunflower with more than one head is mutated.
The real question in life is not whether one glorious triumph is better than a thousand tiny ones -- but am I fulfilling God's purpose for my life? Am I grateful for my miniature blossoms or jealous of others grand bloom? Am I enjoying my large blossom or complaining that I don't what another's stunning forget-me-nots (tiny flowers)? And always, am I growing more life Jesus?
