The Beauty Shield

The orchid is from Martha’s nursery, Better Blooming Orchids, even without a picture, if you have seen a flowering phal, you know what it looks like with its soft delicate petals and creamy purples and pinks. They come in many colors, all with an individual imprint of charm. It represents the intricate beauty of this world that we walk by on a daily basis and often miss completely. I wonder, if we stop and revel in the soft beauty of a flower, bird or sky will it stick to our skin and stay with us throughout the day and shape our thoughts and decisions? I believe it does. Therefore, it does. Isn't that what faith is all about?

God, let the beauty in this day shield me from those things that are not so beautiful at this time but can be transformed in a quick eye blink when your love is added to the mix. Let me be invisible to those that worked so hard to make me invisible, so your power and love can pour forth through my words and actions, and they will not even see what hit them, but all of us will drive home at the end of this day, transformed.Thank you because you have said,"ask, and it will be given."
Love, Linda
