Beautiful World

"For the beauty of the Earth
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth,
over and around us lies,
For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flow'r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light,

For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on Earth, and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise."
Hymn #92

"Whenever I hear the song of a bird,
Or look at the blue, blue sky,

Whenever I feel the rain on my face,
Or the wind as it rushes by,

Whenever I touch a velvet rose,
or walk by a lilac tree,

I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world,
Heavenly Father created for me."
Children's Song Book page #228

Brittany inspired me with her
"Beauty" goal this week.
How can you look at these pictures
and not see beauty,
and blessings?
