Life is Beautiful
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL in all stages. Think about that for a second. It
sounds so simple, but it’s a pretty profound statement and not that
easy to accept. It’s tough in the middle rotten day, when nothing is
going your way, to pause and think “Wow! Life is beautiful!” Now think

Alzheimer’s, the homeless man on street, the young teen who just found
out she’s pregnant, the ‘unwanted’ child growing inside that girl, the
murderer on death row, the child with severe disabilities. The list
can go on forever. Are you able to look at them and say “yes, their
life is a beautiful thing?” Can you see the beauty? Do you think they
can?
