“We do not see things as they are; we see things through what we are.”

“There is no beautifier of complexion, in form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.

As a beauty aid, apply a little of that idea to your soul three times daily, and run vigorously.” 🤗

“Yet, while the barest necessities are here, added to them are rich flourishes of loveliness as if the Designer had said, as He fashioned the universe and provided all the essentials, “Now, these are for creation’s sake.” Then, adding beauty, He said “And this is for love’s sake.” 🩷

Small excerpt from today’s devotion focusing on the great horned owl:

“Wisdom is deep knowledge of your own limitations and your own possibilities. Wisdom is the patience to allow today’s seed to ripen into tomorrow’s fruit without digging it up every few hours to see how it’s coming along.”

Loving this devotion!
