Beauty in everyday things


My husband and I were on a road trip a few months ago and I saw this old barn by the side of the road. Something about the rusty roof and still sturdy sides made me notice. It got me thinking that even commonplace objects can have beauty.
Think about how grains of sand are sculpted into gorgeous creations by artists on a beach or how the leafless tree in the winter looks like a piece of  architecture with its curves and bends.
What we might consider to be not quite up to par may stun or enthrall another person.
Matthew 6 :22 states  "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."  
I hope you see something beautiful in an everyday ordinary thing, because even if it's old and worn, it can still carry a humble elegance and bring you joy.
