Hidden Beauty

When looking out at the field of wild daisies, I pointed out to Will two small red wild flowers in their midst. He had to follow my arm with his eyes to spot them. It is much like this in life, we see the field of pretty flowers and miss the unique and wonderful hidden beauty that is so easy to overlook. 
Beauty I have found is more in the heart than what is revealed on the outside. Outward beauty fails with age, but the inward beauty grows and multiplies over the years. This hidden beauty cannot be restrained, it grows within the heart until it appears in our smile, and our eyes for others to see.

Hope In the Darkness

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Ps. 30:5).

Everyone has experienced physical and emotional pain in their lives at some point.  It is God that sustains us during these dark days, he gives us hope when there is none to be seen.  He lifts our hearts and makes us new again.

 It is our Savior that brings us joy in the depths of our souls, and it is during those times that, I believe our witness shines the most, for we are able to rise above the circumstances with the strength and hope that he gives us.
