Since I have time to read through the stack of magazines that have accumulated through the past several months, I am finding truly wonderful gems that apply to the NOW even though they were written months ago.

I discovered a blessing for each of us. Draw a cross in your palm with your finger. Or draw in another person’s palm if you are isolated together. As you draw whisper, “Be the beautiful you God sees you to be.”

What truly moves me in this blessing is that God sees me to be beautiful. God does not want me to be beautiful. God does not ask me to strive to be beautiful. I already am beautiful in God’s eyes.

Be the beautiful you God sees you to be.

(The blessing is from Donna Frischknecht Jackson.)
