The most beautiful things in the world...

Wow - that kind of sounds like a good book title. Anyway, while just browsing through blogger the other day I came across what is probably the most beautiful little bit of writing I have ever read - that being aside from God's awesome promises to me in the word of course. Here it is several days after I first read it and I am still in awe of the way the piece just absolutely immersed me in every way into experiencing exactly what the author was describing. And truly it blessed me. It's amazing how easily we take for granted some of the most beautiful things in the world like the everday occurence that this piece describes. But I suppose our forgetfulness/ingratitude/selfishness/preoccupation or whatever it is that keeps us from acknowledging majesty does serve a noble purpose in that when we do rediscover "common" graces their splendor is magnified that much more and we are freed from the bondage of self-importance. I am so thankful not only for the power of those written words but also for the talent of the young woman who possesses such skill in arranging words to create such a wonderfully complex description of such a simple wonder.

Read it for yourself here and let me know what you think. Also the rest of the blog is cool in its own right - she is apparently the production designer for a film that is being currently shot. Check it out.
