"BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER"

BEAUTY--(B) IN THE SERIES CLIF FROM A TO Z

Driving from our home to the church building one evening around sunset I came up over a ridge on Lincoln Drive that overlooks the city of Phoenix. Just as I reached the point where I was looking out over the city, the sun, in all it's glory was sinking behind the city and everything was aglow.

BEAUTY BEYOND WORDS!

TEARS STREAMED DOWN MY FACE. I FELT THE PRESENCE OF GOD!

Why is ugly in and beauty out today?

To me, beauty is to be found in:

Flowers at the pulpit during a Sunday service.

Sun shining through the stain glass windows of a church building.

An elderly couple sitting close together holding hands.

A mother or father tenderly holding a child on her/his breast.

Waves breaking on the beach.

Rain drops blowing gently on a window and slowly rolling down.

Sunrise. Sunset.

Spacious skies, purple mountains, amber waves of grain.............

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO END TO BEAUTY!!!

Have we grown tough, weak sighted---unable to see. Or is it true, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and every "Beholder" see things differently?

I hope "your beauty" touches your heart as mine does me. If it does you will feel the presence of God.

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT. IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
