Finding Beauty Within (And Not From A Bottle)
A high dollar mattress, with high thread count sheets
Room service, a hot shower, a bowl full of sweets
No yelling, no fighting, no pulling on my shirt
This slice of peace and quiet, sounds like “heaven on earth.”
Friday’s 40-Or-Less Photo Challenge (my first poem was 75!!) is hosted by Robin.

Finding Beauty In God
Finding beauty not in outward adornment, but rather seeking the beauty of the inner self - the unfading and imperishable beauty of a quiet and gentle spirit, a spirit completely in love with Christ. Finding beauty not in acceptance and praise from the world, but instead as a child of the King. Finding beauty not in beautiful things, but discovering beauty in our beautiful God. Finding beauty not in self, but in God's creation and in others. This sort of beauty will never fade, never grow old, never wrinkle and gray. Quite the opposite, this beauty will grow with each passing day, as we grow in our walk with Him.
