To Be Surrounded with Beauty

I want to surround myself with beauty.

To dive into a picture and live in that house.  The one with the perfectly placed furniture, art on the walls, the impossibly clean kitchen...I want to bury myself in those couch pillows and drink hot cider while watching the rain pelt the window.

I want to surround myself with beauty.

To feel so close to Heaven that I could just reach out my hand and touch it.  To feel once again so close to God and be reminded this is all part of His plan.

I want to be better, to do better.


Today I surround myself with imperfections.  My imperfect, beautiful life.  The holes in the walls waiting to be patched, the LEGO's scattered to and fro, the papers love notes that have been drawn and written by my children littering every surface available.


The dirty floors, dirty dishes, laundry waiting to be folded, yelling children, yelling Mama.  Happy squeals, makeshift tree swings, sweaty stinky children playing.



I want to surround myself with beauty. And I do.
