Beauty – A Free Gift

Join me today for 5 Minute Friday with The Gypsy Mama where we write for five minutes on a given topic. No editing. No criticism. No worry. Today’s topic is: Beauty

Is it coincidence that I am at the beach watching the waves crashing into the sand, listening to the shrills of children with the sounds of the waves as the white noise, feeling the granules of sand between my toes, smelling the salt in each breeze that passes over me when today, this Friday, I’m writing about Beauty.
How much more could I ask for?  Could I expect?  From a God who gave the earth all of this for me to enjoy, for me to be a part of, for me to experience His presence?
I sit and look out to where there is only the line – the line dividing water and sky (Genesis 1:6-8)- and I imagine Him hovering over it all (Genesis 1:2)- right before He made it be.  Giving it all of its saltiness and counting every grain of sand.
Beauty – Free Beauty – The gift from our Savior so that we know He’s always in our presence.
“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command,
so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.”
Hebrews 11:3
Share today what is beautiful in your life, and then thank God for it.

    Awesome! Our pastor preached on that very scripture, making sure that we understood the waters from above and the land below!

    Thank you!
    Blessings
