I like pretty.

I do. I really do like pretty. Who doesn't? Beauty points to God, because beauty is infinite, just like He is. No one in the history of ever has said "Okay that's enough beauty, can I have some ugly please?" Because that would be dumb.

Sometimes I am in awe of beauty. It smacks me in the face with its amazingness at the most random times.

For example,  let's look at the desk I am sitting at.I am in the SUB right now finishing up some homework. The rooms here are gorgeous. They are refined and peaceful. Studying usually stresses me out, because I feel like it never ends (let's get real... it never does), but not this afternoon. Call me crazy, but I credit it to the beauty of my surroundings. I am sitting at an antique desk. There is a vase of flowers to my right and a painting above me. It's beautiful, and it rubs off on me and my studies. I am enjoying sitting here surrounded by beauty, and the chore of homework seems to transform into a blessing. For if I did not have that essay to write, I wouldn't be in the presence of these beauties, and that would be sad.

I challenge you to notice the beauty around you! There is so much of it, and all provided by a loving God who just wants to show you how much He cares. Bask in His little gifts and say thank you to the ultimate Beauty.
