I have great intentions of writing every night before I go to bed, but I'm usually sound asleep before I remember those good intentions. So here's yet another post a few hours late!
February 27: "3 Ugly-beautiful gifts"
I started thinking through things that are ugly and how if I look at them as gifts, then they could be beautiful. I was coming up with things like, this nasty weather, sickness, pain, loneliness, unemployment, cleaning, laundry, and many more. But then I realized that, while yes a grateful heart can make ugly things beautiful, it's what God does with the uglies in life that makes them beautiful. So here are some of the "ugly-beautifuls" that I'm thankful for today:
Sin- forgiveness
Loneliness- fellowship with Christ
Bad weather- greater enjoyment of spring
Pain- joy in experiencing the healing power of Christ
How is He turning YOUR ashes into beauty?
