Beauty

 Nature is an integral part of our daily lives. We use it, we love it and we live in it. It surrounds us, provides food and water, and supports our very existence.

The natural world has been the subject of many works of art throughout history, from paintings to sculpture to music. The beauty of nature can be seen in everything from the stunning wildlife in Africa to the colorful forests in New Zealand.

Nature is inspiring, unique and breathtakingly beautiful at all times of the year (even if you don't live near a tropical paradise). Even though we may be surrounded by nature every day, many people don't realize how important it is to protect it from exploitation or destruction.

This week's post is about embracing nature's beauty by appreciating its unique gifts and seeing it for what it truly is: a gift from God.
