Beautiful

The lucky word of the day is Beautiful. Beautiful is a word that has several different meanings. My view on the word Beautiful could be way different than your view. 

Beautiful to me is seeing a guy and a girl walk around together happily in love. Beautiful to me is looking at a playground and seeing a ton of little kids playing and having fun. Beautiful to me is being able to wake up every morning to a family that loves me. Being able to look up at the sky and see all of the beautiful creatures flying around. Or being able to look up in the sky at night and just being able to gaze at the stars. 

Beautiful to me is being able to look in the eyes of the people you care about and know that they love you just as much as you love them and they will always support you. Beautiful to me is holding the hand of the person you love and never wanting to let go. Beautiful to me is just being able to simply wake up. Being able to come to a school that the whole staff cares about you and your education. Knowing that every teacher in the building would do anything possible to make sure you are okay and safe. Beautiful to me is just having a home to live in, a truck to drive, and a good bunch of people around me that will always support me. 

I believe every person in this world is beautiful in their own way. Maybe there is stuff on the inside that you will never know about the person because you never give them a chance. You may think on the outside that the person is not very attractive but they may have the best heart in the world and that is what I call Beautiful.  Beautiful to me is living in a country where I feel safe. 

Beautiful to me is sharing the word of God to people who are lost and either don’t know who he is or just simply choose not to believe in him.  Beautiful to me is being able to walk and talk and do some stuff that other people have never been able to do. When God looks down on us he sees something Beautiful in all of us. You may think you are no good, worthless, or just hate life and the world around you, but behind all of that hatred there is a Beautiful person with a Beautiful heart. 

Beautiful to me is bonding with that one person that means the world to you. Listening to her sing to you as you are out driving around. Thinking about her nonstop. Never wanting the time you have with her to end. Hugging her tightly and never wanting to stop. Listening to her cheer you on as you run up and down the basketball court and afterwards still being your #1 fan even if you lost or had what you call, “the worst game of your life.”

Beauty comes in all different kinds of ways. It could come from a spouse or a boyfriend/girlfriend, it could come from your children or something you really enjoy, or it could just be something as simple as the sunset. Beauty is a small word that can be taken in an infinite number of ways. You should use the word Beautiful more often, it may make their day.
