Beautiful

We have had opportunities to see some beautiful architecture and art. In cathedrals and palaces there have been huge spaces filled with gold and mosaic, statues with features so intricately carved they look almost real, grand tapestries, magnificent paintings. And it has been a great experience.

But when I think about all the things we have seen, and what is truly beautiful, I see a painting that is a sheet covered with multicolored handprints of kids who were truly smiling while they had a part in creating it. I see a small square room filled with a mosaic of people from all around the world gathered together praising God. I see a real face with a smile welcoming me and eyes lighting up as we talk about the Lord that we both love. These are things we have had opportunities to see, and they are beautiful.

I truly love what you wrote. To see architecture, art, cathedrals and palaces etc..... Is wonderful to the eyes. However, to see God's creation smiling, praising and welcoming the Lord into their lives by your missionary opportunity............is truly beautiful.

May God Keep and Bless you in all you do for Him.

In Him
