In the beginning…
God Created…
And said,
“It is Good!”
“…all the beauty of the world, the beauty that calls our admiration, our gratitude, our worship at the earthly level, is meant as a set of hints, of conspiratorial whispers, of clues and suggestions and flickers of light, all nudging us into believing that behind the beautiful world is not random chance but the loving God.”
~ N.T. Wright, For All God’s Worth
“If we are created in the image and likeness of God, then whatever good, true, or beautiful things we can say about humanity or creation we can say of God exponentially. God is the beauty of creation and humanity multiplied to the infinite power.”
~ Fr Richard Rohr

SOMETIMES it just takes time to find Beauty in everything God CREATED in this World…I believe we all need to slow down, take the time to look around, and appreciate everything…
I love what Bonnie said…we rush too much and don’t take time to appreciate all that God has created
Especially this Spring when everything is new and blooming I want to remember how wonderful God’s creation still is!
It may sound cheesey, but especially as my kids play outside today with neighbor children…there is just something about the joy kids find in the world that is SO beautiful.
As I reflect on God’s suffering today I take a deep breath and await Easter morning.
The sunlight, in all it’s brightness and gold, illuminating everything that we can’t see in the dark…is So Very Good.
A Fall breeze, the smell of my kids’ skin after they’ve played in the sun, the squish of sand when trying to dig for coquina on the beach, the nudge of a baby from inside you abdomen, the soft, thin hair of a newborn baby…
Birds singing, the sunrise, daffodils in bloom, morning cup of coffee…reminders God loves us and present in all things.
The simplicities and intricacies of nature and humankind We’re blessed to share, wonder, and marvel God’s creations.
Sharing cherished family moments whether it be through family visits, hearing stories of the past, or photographs.Experiencing a bird’s eye view from a mountain top, hot air ballon, or the hill in my backyard. Bodies of water, floating on top, diving in, or exploring the depths- magnificent gifts of God.
