Something Beautiful

I'm reading these novels right now. I've not read many novels so selling novels in a Christian book store I thought it wise that I read a few. Anyway this novel was explaining the dynamics that go into making a lei. It is quite something. Not only are lei's beautiful but they can be exquisite. I guess the more knots and the more turns, the more beautiful. Some have beads or shells woven into them as well as the flowers. The flowers can be so delicate and have to be handled in the right way so they stay in tact. I've been thinking of that for a few days.

Sometimes you meet a certain individual and you are just blown away by them only to find out their story is one of many twists, turns, hurts, bumps,and bruises but they are so peaceful, so sweet, so amazingly wonderful. Isn't that just like God to take our lives and weave them into the character He wants us to become!

We may not like the knot or the twist that comes our way but it is all for the purpose of shaping us into something beautiful!
