Beautiful Things

Beautiful Things  

Mountain silhouettes against crimson sunsets

The sparkle in the eyes of those who are in love

Music that pierces the soul

The tears of joy and awe that grace the cheeks of new parents

Friendship. The kind where you know everything about each other, but choose to look past the flaws and only see the beauty.

A worn and tattered Bible

White,  fluffy snow


Contagious laughter


The tender look a bride and groom exchange at the altar  

Hands raised in surrender to God

New-born babies 

The wagging tail and glittering eyes of a well-loved dog 

A family that enjoys being together 

The aroma of sweet, cool air that only exists in the mountains or by the sea  

Married couples who happily grow old together in love 

The sacrifices parents make for the good of their children 

Rain storms 

Stars that glow throughout the night 

A friendly smile 

Hugs from loved ones 

Hand - written letters 

Musical instruments 

The peaceful expression of a sleeping cat 

Those times when you can feel Christ's literal presence 

Worship sung straight from the heart, no matter how on or off key the singer may be 

Honest compliments 

Old pictures

Parents who are in prayer for their children 

Innocence 

Bubbles being blown by little kids

And so, so many more.  


Life is short. Look for the beauty in it!
