Beauty shelters us when we look to the one who created the very thing we marvel at. He shelters us in his love and when we open our hearts to take in all that we see around us we become the beauty we see. Sunshine in your hair and the way it glimmers red and gold hues in the sunlight, the wind that combs your hair and cools your body, the stars that sparkles in the water, the fuzzy cuddle that licks your face, the dance of a flower... it's summer. For a moment everything shines so evidently that we can't help to notice his love for us larking at every corner, "I made this for you today because I love you." When the fall and winter sets we see his beauty in change, in death, in seasons, in reason and creation that reminds us of his goodness that all things are made new, his mercy is new every morning and great is his faithfulness.
