STRANGEST PLACES


Pink Thistle 2

Beauty happens in the strangest places. Yesterday on the way to church we passed a storm drain and there on the lip of the drain was a tiny meadow. Creation is determined to be seen, to show the beauty of the one who created it. It can't help it. This is part of its nature. All of life was designed to reflect the beauty--the glory--of the Creator.
