Ugly?

th26XIQITU

“He’s not ugly.  You’re just looking with ugly eyes.”

~4 1/2 year old daughter of a friend

May we learn to see with beautiful eyes.

Today and always.

“For God formed their inward parts, knitted them together in their mother’s womb…and they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are God’s works.”

~Psalm 139:13-14
