God doesn't do ugly




Take a moment and ask yourself this question; what has your God created that is ugly?

"a weed is no more than a flower in disguise" (James Russell Lowell)

If we look at nature we all frequently use terms such as; wonderous, inspiring, magestic, awesome and breath-taking. Have you ever stood looking out at the bountiful ocean or at the snow capped mountains and thought to yourself; man this is ugly? Even when we look up at the skies and see a threatening storm, you can still find beauty if you will look for it.

"look deep into nature
and then you will understand
everything better"
(Albert Einstein)

No, only man can make ugly. We can destroy what is naturally beautiful with relative ease. We have the ability to rip up the wilderness, polute the skies and the water. We create ugly not the universe.

"put a child in nature at play,
and I challenge you to find even one iota of ugly, it's impossible"
(Eduardo)

We also create another kind of ugly....people! It is through our eyes that we create images of ugly people. If you believe in God, do you think he would create an ugly child? Of course not, it is our interpretation of his creation that allows for that terrible description. It is our perceptions and words that do so much damage.

"we look for evidence of miracles, forgetting that nature puts them on display every single day" (Eduardo)

Only man, purposely does ugly unto himself and those around him. We are the one's who can and do abuse and do ugly upon our physical bodies and even worse on our souls. It doesn't and shouldn't be that way. We need to create the sunshine within, so that we can share it with our world. We are resonsible to create a beautiful life for ourselves and others.

"Where did we ever get the crazy idea that in order to make children do better, first we have to make them feel worse? Think of the last time you felt humiliated or treated unfairly. Did you feel like cooperating or doing better?" (Jane Nelson)

Would anything that could create the northern lights, the magestic wilderness, the breathtaking beaches or put the diamonds in an infinite night sky, be capable of contemplating ugly on mankind?

Our contemplations of beauty, fade with years and no human can ever be enough, these are sad thoughts but also not reality. Real beauty comes from within, not from cosmetic surgury and make up. The light within a person is the real beauty that lasts. So be kind to yourself amigos and to every soul that crosses your path, we are God's creation and God doesn't do ugly!

Smile, it looks really good on you!

Eduardo
