It always amazes me
that God creates beauty for beauty’s sake.
*****
So, I take my pencils and trace,
just for the sake of trying to make
something beautiful.
*****
I choose the right colors for my home,
and flowers for the table,
and arrange them beautifully in a vase.
*****
The Christmas ornaments,
all chosen carefully;
we want it to be beautiful.
*****
The food on the table,
the wine,
the candles,
the music.
“Beautiful,”
we sigh.
*****
The books on the shelves,
filled with beautiful words,
and beautiful art.
*****
The smiles,
the tears.
Family,
friends.
*****
All beautiful.
*****
I am always surrounded by beauty.
Art made in heaven.
Flawless.
All glorious.
*****
This is certainly a beautiful world.
And I give thanks
to
God
alone.
The Creator
of all things.

Reminds me of something I read that Luther said: “God writes the gospel on the trees and flowers and clouds and stars.”
