Cake Stands

I love cake stands!

I think maybe I collect them.

I hadn't really realized before that I collect them.

Until I counted how many I have.

It's more than three.

I'm sure my husband wishes I made cakes more often.

They look so lovely on a stand!

...Maybe I'll make a cake tonight...

(Chocolate of course)

Scribbler said...: I would like to use mine somewhere -- I just can't find a place. They are very pretty stacked up in that way.

Beauty Inspires

"Beauty and affliction are the only two things that can pierce our hearts." (a quote by Simon Weil) - is how John Eldredge begins a chapter in his book "Journey of Desire". He goes on to say, "Because this is so true, we must have a measure of beauty in our lives proportionate to our affliction ... No, more, much more. Is not this God's prescription for us?

Just take a look around. The sights and sounds, the aromas and sensations - the world is overflowing with beauty.

God seems to be rather enamored with it.

G lo r i o u s l y wasteful.

Apparently, He feels that there ought to be plenty of it in our lives.

Beauty ... heals, stirs us, moves and inspires. Lift any obstacle you may have to filling your life with greater and greater amounts of beauty.

"One should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of one's life, In order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul."
