Enjoy the Beauty

My Granny said, "Beauty is as beauty does."  I didn't have a clue what she meant those fifty-plus years ago, but I understand it today!  It's amazing how initial beauty [of things and people] changes as time passes. Granny was so smart! It's actually tragic how much beauty we miss - it's all around us.  In Mr. Jones, Meet the Master, Peter Marshall wrote this: "There is beauty in homely things which many people have never seen ... sunlight through a jar of beach-plum jelly; a rainbow in soapsuds in dishwater; an egg yolk in a blue bowl; white ruffled curtains sifting moonlight; the color of cranberry glass; a little cottage with blue shutters; crimson roses in an old stone crock; the smell of newly baked bread; candlelight on old brass."  Beauty began in the mind of The Creator and lives on today in The Beauty of His Son, Jesus. We are evermore surrounded by the tender mercy and grace of God's Imagination and His Sustaining Grace.  What joy He has made both the physical beauty of creation and the spiritual beauty of The Savior available to all who believe and walk in righteousness. Enjoy the Beauty!
