Stop and Look

Another of Nature’s Still Life Images. Beauty exists not just in the awesome scenery of epic places with towering mountains, tall waterfalls, or powerful surf; but all around us.  It is easy to walk right past the beauty of Nature. I know that I have been amazed to discover awesome images on the return journey of a hike that I walked by earlier. It is also amazing how the season and time of day can create new beauty in a place visited many times.

God has filled this world of ours with incredible beauty waiting for us to discover and enjoy.

What is true for nature is also true for humans. It is easy to overlook the inner beauty and gifts of those who seem at first glance to have little to offer.  As The Apostle Paul reminded the Church at Corinth and us, each is given a gift for the benefit of the body of Christ as a whole.

Today’s photo was taken at Newtonville United Methodist Church in Newtonville, NY on April 23, 2024.

I have done more than 1,400 Daily Photo Devotions, most of which can be seen on this blog.
