The fact that the hidden is visible through tiny glimpses, and often the most beautiful part is on the inside, is something so intriguing. Reminds me that we are all filled with hidden chambers of glory and that pain is not only on the outside that needs to be mended. If we can only see the beauty that is beyond the surface, appreciate that twists and turns that make each of us unique, we might be more patient, more forgiving, more happy once we let go of the perfection that is unattainable. I would like to share this with my young daughter and hope she can appreciate the message. That would be a powerful lesson for a whole class, to give each on a special shell and share your thoughts on perfectly imperfect. Thank you for sharing this today! Blessings to you. Enjoy the day.
