All Beautiful

I am a beauty seeker. Seeking makes it possible to be a beauty finder. Seek and you will find.

(A flower yet to open.)

 

I like to wander and admire. It’s impossible not to admire. My dad’s farm, my mom’s garden, my grandma’s flowers, our own yard. Being in the midst of the beauty, face to face with it, is comfortable.  It makes me happy. I feel close to Him, surrounded by His work. I am amazed.

(A caterpillar into a butterfly.)

 

When you are open and looking and searching, you realize things don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. You start to see the beauty in the imperfect. You start to find beauty in the messy. You are gifted a change in your perspective. Because God is good. Because He does not make mistakes. Because He makes it ALL beautiful.

(Blooms turned to seed.)

 

Everything beautiful begins with God. Ecclesiastes 3:11

(The beginning of a new day.)

 

It doesn’t take long, just take a moment to look around. I am sure you already see something. Something beautiful made by Him. I challenge you today, this week, this month, to be a beauty seeker. Look around and take notice of all the beautiful things that began with Him. Create a post, use words or images, and link up to share with us your beauty finds. This is a fun way for the entire (in)courage community to share together, not just those doing a review post this month.

(A family.)

 

This Beauty Seeker link-up will be open all month. Take time to seek. Let your heart be open to see. Come back and share at any time. Some of you are hosting a review this month and have story posts, that link-up will be live on July 10th.

(Engaged. Beginning of life together.)

 

The new Redeemed Outdoor line by DaySpring, encourages us to remember He has made everything beautiful. Beautiful begins with God. It is a wonderful collection to add something special to your outdoor decor.

Everything beautiful begins with God.

Everything.

 

Join the Beauty Seeker link-up, open all month. This is not the review story post link-up.

{If you are looking for the winners of last month’s giveaway, you can find them here.}
