There is much to be said of beautiful places – places where you walk in and have a sense of awe and wonder. A place where you think, “If I only I could live here. If only this was my life and not just a place to gaze upon.” I think about what makes a place beautiful. I think it’s a place that really makes you feel alive and vibrant, a place where you can laugh and feel free, a place that makes you feel like you never want to leave, a place that when you are in a difficult situation that you crave to come back to.This quote makes me think…what kind of place do I create in my home? Better yet, what kind of place do I create in my life? Am I someone who can take whatever I have and make it beautiful because of the beauty that is inside my soul? What do I do with what I’ve been given? Do I create beauty with my words, with my actions, with my ideas and feelings?
I reflect…how many times do I become consumed with what’s not going well and create my environment into something less than what it should be? How many times do I make my kids, husband or others want to be somewhere else? What will they say? Will they say, “I love being here” or “I can’t wait to be gone?”
May I not covet something or someone else but take what the Lord has given me and make it the best that I possibly can!!
