Beauty is Right Where you are Looking


Beauty is everywhere in this world. From the majestic Grand Canyon and the red rocks of Sedona to the flowers you planted in your backyard. From a volcano erupting at night on a Hawaiian island to a vine pushing its way through the bricks of a sidewalk. From a giant tree in a local yard that has been there forever with it's new leaves opening in the spring to that same tree in the fall with it's leaves changing colors and falling to a fresh mowed lawn. I am trying to look for beauty in my everyday life. I look at the sweet faces of my Bella, Gabby, and Mackenzie and I see beauty. I walk out my backdoor and I see all of the flowers I have planted and I can't help but smile a little smile at the beauty I have added to my world. As I drive down the road, I see beauty in the architecture of the old houses that are all around. I thank God for the little bits of beauty He gave us. As we hurry through our world, we need to take a breath and look at the beauty all around.
