Book Excerpt:

Discovering Beauty

The perfection of beauty, God shines in glorious radiance. Psalm 50:2

Dew drops along the delicate edge of a flower, the graceful curve of an unfolding rose, the subtle flutter of marvelously painted butterfly wings-- there are many summer beauties. The sun dries the dew drops and beetles ravage the rose petals, but there is much to be thankful for in each part of life. To be able to see beauty is a gift from God. There is much in the world that is less than beautiful, but usually, mixed in with despair and the less-than-ideal, there is a breathtaking glimmer of hope. Finding beauty is only possible when it is first present within. Recognizing beauty despite imperfections requires a hopeful heart and a watchful eye. To cultivate beauty in your life and hope in your heart, begin each day with a prayer for those qualities. Look for goodness in spite of the bad things that happen. Watch for opportunities to encourage, smile, offer hope, and live in joy. Plant a flower, send a card, make an encouraging phone call, and find a reason to say thank you. Discover the blessing of beauty and pass it along.

Beauty brings hope.
