Daily Blessings

Beauty

I give thAnks for the beauty of GOD’S WORLD and for my ability to see more OF THIS BEAUTY every day.

Even with perfect vision, many of us are not visually alert. We do not see details. We do not notice much of the beauty all about us. Some of us may overlook that which is constantly with us, while seeking afar for the unusual and the mysterious.

Let us find in this day something new within the old and familiar. Look around the places where you spend most of your time. You may be surprised and delighted by all of the details of interest you have been overlooking. Even the scenery from any particular window varies daily to some degree. Seek out the changes. It will refresh you to find them.

In addition to that which we see with our eyes, we may also see a great deal with our hearts. Develop your sense of appreciation for beauty everywhere. It will enrich your life and nourish your soul.

“Your fame went out among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you,” says the Sovereign Lord. (Ezekiel 16:14)

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
