The interesting thing about coming back to blogging is that I can't remember how to do it. How did I come up with anything to write before? But as I've read back through them I remember I usually just wrote random things.
I've been thinking about souls. Yesterday this woman looked at me and said, "oh my goodness, what a beautiful soul you have. It just shines through you."
I think it was the nicest thing ever said to me. And I wondered at people's ability to see people for more than their physical appearance. This is a quote that I read about a year ago that has stuck with me over and over again:
"The lord uses a scale very different from the lord's to weigh the worth of a soul."
Wouldn't it be a good world if we all learned how to do that? To be like the woman who complimented me?
And the teapot? Well, it just represents something beautiful of course! And how much we would miss if we were so stuck on examining the outside of the pot that we missed the delicious herbal goodness inside? Or hot coco, which is even better.
