Anyway, I use that as a caveat into the point of this post. Beauty. More specifically the Lord's beauty. I was sitting at the pool this morning at work and while I watched the sun rise, as I have many days this summer, I realized that the simple scene of the rising sun is such a stunning portrait of the Lord's beauty. Each time I watch the sun rise I think about how each sunrise is like a personal painting the Lord created, what an amazing gift. To people who don't believe, I say watch the sun rise and you will see that there is no way we are here for no reason.
This morning's sunrise reminded me that I need to look for the Lord's beauty every day. That being said, each day (well that's my goal) I am going post how I saw the Lord's beauty. My blog is titled 'Keeping The Faith' and for me seeing the Lord's beauty each day is the way I keep mine.
Today I saw the Lord's beauty in a man. I have seen this man a few times now. This man comes early in the morning to swim with a friend of his. You may think "Okay Brynn, what does that have to do with the Lord's beauty?" Well, the thing is this man has never seen me, he is blind. He comes to the pool with his friend, holding his friend's elbow to lead him. He and his friend swim for maybe an hour. This man seems so cheerful and watching him swim laps so pleasantly shows me the Lord's beauty. I do not know if this man has been blind his whole life or if something happened to cause his loss of vision. I think about how I couldn't swim laps with my eyes shut or I'd be all over the place, yet he does it with proficiency. It made me think about what it must be like to not have ever seen the sunrise. This man seems so content and that was so humbling to me because I assuredly take my eyesight for granted. I encourage you to get up and watch the sunrise, realizing that the Lord has blessed you with not only the sunrise but the ability to see that sunrise.
