Every Friday, I’ll post thought provoking discussion starters.

This year, what beauty do you want to experience? Seriously.
Rather than thinking about resolving to do things this year, what if we thought about resolving to experience things? And, what if we wanted those things to be beautiful? What would be on your list? What’s something beautiful you’d like to see, hear, or experience?
A newborn baby?
A tulip almost fully opened?
A child accomplishing a long-dreamt-of goal?
A first-edition book you’ve always loved?
A birthday cake made just for you?
A friend waiting for you at the airport?
A sunset over your favorite beach?
Your spouse smiling broadly when seeing you?
A successful church project completed well?
A surprising talent in an unexpected place?
Your grandmother’s laugh?
What do you hope to experience this year?
I just reread my own post
You know what I’d find beautiful? My mom’s voice on the other end of the phone asking how I’m doing and wanting to tell me how she’s doing. That will never happen, so I choose to celebrate the conversations she’s having in heaven and I deeply appreciate all those I do have to share my life with. They are beautiful and I am grateful!
