Celebrating Values

Beauty

Beauty refers to qualities in a person or thing that give pleasure to the senses or to the mind (Merriam Webster Dictionary). Therefore beauty can be found through appearance, sound, smell, taste, touch, or through emotional or intellectual input.

Most often I think of beauty as something that is physically attractive, whether it be a person, a nature scene, or a work of art.

But I also think the sound of music is beautiful.

And most flowers smell beautiful.

I generally do not think of flavors as beautiful, but I do love the taste of chocolate and raspberries.

I also love the feel of soft fabrics or soft beach sand.

My mood is lifted when I am around people who are kind and cheerful. They have beautiful personalities. 

My mind is challenged when presented with new ways of comprehending things. That is the beauty of wisdom.

All of these things add beauty to my life. Beauty is important because God wants us to enjoy His creation!
