BEAUTY



Scotland is full of flowers! They are every where! Growing wild along the train tracks, grouped together in planters on balconies or beside front doors. The variety of colors and types are endless. Flowers show me that God cares about beauty. I'm sure some flowers are eatable but mostly, flowers are not functional except to feed the soul. Shades of color to brighten a mundane world. Each of us is a special creation who brings beauty into the lives of those around us. Where ever we find ourselves, that is the place to be who God made us to be. Flowers know this. They don't uproot themselves, they just grow where they are, right where God has planted them, and show forth His beauty. I want to do that too.
