Let's take a simple fruit, like this kiwi here. Anyone else out there love kiwi's? I do. I think they are wonderful. But how often do we miss the beauty that is inherent in this tiny little gem? Outside of its marvelous color inside it contains dozens of tiny seeds that allow it to replicate itself and those seeds are surrounded by a wonderfully delicious material. What are the odds of a plant evolving to not only be edible, but nutritious, and furthermore delicious? Not only that but Kiwi's are only one of hundreds of tasty edible plants! Just think of the delicious plants that we have available to us, strawberries, potatoes (I love potatoes), oranges, bananas and the list could go on and on! What an amazing creator we have that he provides such wonderful treats for us!
And what beauty is within those treats! Many contain vibrant colors from the entire spectrum! And the flavors of each are so unique and wonderful! Today I have been enthralled by the Lords creativity in providing us with food, he could've made such things simple, plain and bland, but instead he made them marvelous to behold and wonderful to experience.
I will declare the beauty of the Lord
Nothing compares to the beauty of the Lord
Jesus Your love takes my breath away
Now I'm living everyday for the beauty of the Lord
The beauty of the Lord

ReplyDeletemy beautiful moment was at midnight. my hubs calls & says that they were just outside of town & his car had blown a belt. He asked me to look up the number for the towing company. I asked him if he remembered the name of the company we used last time & then he remembered that he had their card in his wallet.
ReplyDeleteso after i hung up my mind is racing: how much is this going to cost? i'm going to have to get my 4 month old out of bed to go get him. who can i call & wake up so i don't have to get my baby out of bed in the middle of the night. i was srsly freaking out.
then the hubs texts me & said the tow driver was right behind them so they didn't have to wait. he'd dropped them at Close's car & they were on their way to work so i didn't have to go get them. It was a fan belt that blew so it shouldn't be too expensive.
Then i remembered that we had gotten a check in the mail that morning for $300 so we prbly wouldn't have to pay anything to get the car fixed.
the beautiful moment was realizing that God had already answered my questions, even though i didn't stop to ask Him in the midst of my worrying.
jamie. that is awesome.
