(Speaking for a few days ago, just tryin' to keep up!) Beautiful is what today was. From the very beginning to this very moment the sun was shining brightly, the color blue filled the skies and there was no cloud to be found. I love days like these. Who doesn't? It was the kind of day that makes you wish that everyday was like this. I can never get enough of the sun and basking in the warmth of it. In fact, it's exactly what I did. Hearing the kids afar off playing in their clubhouse that they built in the shrubs of our yard, I took ten minutes of lying out on the trampoline in pure bliss.
Since I'm actually writing this a few days later we have yet to have a beautiful sunny day like the other day was. Don't we wish life was like this? Beautiful everyday? It's not really how life is given to us. Some days may be absolutely beautiful and then others are absolutely bleak where we can't even see through the clouds. It may be that we have these most fabulous days to give us strength to carry on through those days that don't seem very clear to us. But hold on because those Beautiful days will sure to come right around the corner.
The great thing about not keeping your life to yourself but giving it to Jesus, our Savior, is that those beautiful days can be permanently instilled within our hearts. Even through those dark, bleak days we can still experience a Beautiful day because what Jesus gives us is Beautiful...it's a gift of eternal salvation that we can never loose even on those not so Beautiful days. And the awesome thing about this gift that Jesus gives is that even though we don't deserve it, by His graciousness He has given it to us not by what we've done, or who we are, but because He loves us so very much. He loves you more than anyone could ever love you. And you know what? Because of His beauty, you are Beautiful and that makes every single day Beautiful.
