.see the flowers among the rocks.

grace truly does find beauty in everything.
who would have imagined using a U2 song to encourage a frightened 4th grader down the side of a 150 ft. cliff. 'look for the beauty in the rock' I remember telling him, pointing out the gorgeous flowers halfway down the face.

this may have happened months ago, but it imprinted something on my mind, something i need to heed every morning i wake up, the dozens of lattes and cups of coffee i make for people, all the evenings i'm allowed to spend alone with my husband, during the winters that seems to never let us be. there is beauty in all of it.

"The Lord makes everything beautiful for it's own time." (eccl. 3)
