Beautiful Things

Good morning! As you go about your Thanksgiving Eve day, I just wanted to remind you that you are beautiful because God made you! Too often we try to qualify people’s beauty by describing their physical attributes or material accessories, but none is needed here.

The Master Artisan has stroked every color and mixed every shade. You are as desired. There are many times we don’t feel beautiful, and it’s usually when we’re zoomed into a dark space on the canvas. Let’s pull back. Let’s appreciate the shadows, for they highlight what’s bright. I don’t know about you, but I have to remind myself of this quite often because this is what helps me to see my dark days and disappointments in a way that gives me greater appreciation for the good things I have/enjoy.
