A bromeliad, I think -- BEAUTIFUL!
Good Day, God!
This afternoon I drove up our valley to see Dr. Fickes for a thermography exam. As I was walking toward her entrance I was stopped by this flower. Out came my camera so I could capture its glory. Amazing!
Beauty is important, God. Maybe it is even essential? What comes to mind is the Chinese proverb: When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.
That feels very wise. And I’ve been pondering why that might be. Perhaps it’s because beauty tugs me toward You? Beauty speaks to some inner part of me — reassuring me that both Beauty and Hope exist — and will continue to exist.
Beauty appears daily . . . in the daytime sky and in the starry night. The Heavens DO declare Your Glory, God!
Wild grass -- with light shining through it
And so do the ordinary things of life. I stopped this morning on my jog to take a photo of weeds . . . or wild grasses. Less obvious beauty, but it’s there, if we only look. Your Light can transform anything.
I suppose, God, this may be why some older people can radiate beauty . . . they are letting You shine through them.
Transparency . . . focused on others . . . hearts full of love . . . I have friends like that, God. Thank YOU!
Story teller,
A Moment with God
