Beauty
The evidence of the Creator's hand. His fingerprints can be seen throughout all creation.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
(Ecclesiastes 3:11)
Faith
Trusting our Father at His word.
Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
(Habakkuk 3:17-18)

Thankfulness
Accepting a gift in such a way that honors the giver. Let us honor our King with the gifts He has given us.
We love because he first loved us.
(1 John 4:19)
Wind
An invisible force that baffles scientists to this day. This force can manifest itself in many forms from the power of a tornado to the stillness of a whisper.
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
(John 3:8)
Matthew, thank you. I love your writing. (Jenni's mom.)
