Beauty in the Sink.


"I want to see beauty. In the ugly, in the sink, in the suffering, in the daily, in all the days before I die, the moments before I sleep."
~Ann Voskamp

Sometimes it's difficult to see beauty in our everyday lives. We get stuck in the same routine, doing the same mundane tasks, and we forget to take time to notice the beauty God gives us each day.
There's beauty in our daily interactions with others.
There's beauty in the scenery on our way to work our school.
There's beauty in the arguments, the stubbed toes, and the disappointments.
We often wonder how we can actively seek God in our everyday lives, and the answer is to seek out his beauty in every circumstance. This December, I challenge you to start seeing beauty in daily tasks. In the falling snow, the family time, the sleeping in, and even during finals week and when your car gets stuck in the snow at the end of your driveway.

Where have you seen beauty today?
