Julia Gathering Roses, by Daniel Ridgway Knight
Never lose an opportunity for seeing anything that is beautiful;
For beauty is God's handwriting--a wayside sacrament.
Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower,
And thank God for it as a cup of His blessing.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

I was thinking about this very thing today as I wandered around an open air market with Kelli and the girls. There were so many women about my age, wearing the same kind of clothes I do and poking through the booths, looking at pretty things. Beauty is miraculous!
