Wednesday Writing by Storm Hendrickson.......3/8/17

Good Morning,

The writing today is named, "Looking with Spiritual Eyes." It was written by Storm Hendrickson, Her theme is that what we see depends on how our eyes look at things. If we look only at the item we may not see the actual beauty that is there. Something might look decrepit or someone may not be attractive. Storm said that when we look with spiritual eyes we see what is actually beautiful about the thing  we are looking at. Storm wrote, "Not everyone is beautiful or nice to look upon when we see them with our human eyes. I'm not just talking about outward appearance, but also their character or personality. However, if we look at them with our spiritual eyes we may see something very lovely."

Wishing you a day where everything you see is seen with your spiritual eyes!

God bless,
Storm and Corinne

                                 "Looking with Spiritual Eyes"

Yesterday I was driving East to my brother's place. The sun was setting in the West behind me. The sky was a grayish blue. It had sprinkled earlier and a rainbow was created. The sun was shining on the tree tops before me and made them really stand out. I wish that I had my camera. 

The color of the leaves were brilliant. The rust and gold really stood out and was lovely to see with the light from the sun shining upon it. 

I had a thought.....

A few days before I had said to someone that the leaves on the trees were   not as pretty as they have been in the past. I remember them being fire engine red, blazing orange, and bright yellow. However, for the past couple of years the leaves have been rust, dark red, and brownish yellow. Sort of disappointing and not as nice to look at. 

Yesterday, although the leaves were still rust, dark red, and a brownish yellow in color, when the  setting sun hit them they were beautiful. I certainly was not disappointed with what I saw. They were very pleasing to the eye. 

People are like that too. Not everyone is beautiful or nice to look upon when we see them with our human eyes. I'm not just talking about outward appearance, but also their character or personality. However, if we look at them with our spiritual eyes we may see something very lovely. If the "son" shines upon them or from within them, WOW! 

But Jesus turning and seeing her said, 

"Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well." 

At once the woman was made well.
