For the Beauty of The Earth

 

"For the beauty of the earth,

For the beauty of the skies,

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies,

 

For the beauty of each hour

Of the day and of the night,

Hill and vale, and tree and flow'r,

Sun and moon, and stars of light,

 

For the joy of human love,

Brother, sister, parent, child,

Friends on earth, and friends above,

For all gentle thoughts and mild

 

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our hymn of grateful praise"

 Folliott S. Pierpoint



I am a firm believer that we as children of a Heavenly Father have the inate ability to find beauty in everything we come across. From the simplicity of a smile to the complex designs that structure the world around us, there is beauty in all things good. 

Jesus Christ, the Savior of all mankind, and the creator of all things beautful, created this earth through the direction of our Heavenly Father. He did this because of the great love He has for us. We would do Him a great favor by not only noticing the beautiful things around us, but thanking Him for them. For He truly is the creator of the earth, of the skies, of each hour, and for our very lives. As we grow closer to our Savior Jesus Christ we will be able to recognize this evidence of His love for us more fully and more often.


"Lord of all, to thee we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise"

What has been the most beautiful thing about your day? :)
