You're Beautiful!

It was the end of a great day,

we were driving back from our visit to Carlsbad's Flowering Fields when we passed a large sign planted prominently in front of a church . . .

.
Two words in large print caught my eye

.
Wow, I thought, and turned to view the sign once more but it gone.

.

The words exploded in my head and I felt like I was holding something precious ... I could feel it's warmth and wasn't willing to let it free.

.

Everything else faded around me

as the words sat down beside me in the darkness

and a shaft of light accompanied by soft sounds

of rippling laughter opened the door

.

Beautiful Saviour

.

That's all, just two words, unwrapping a memory
.
.

.

.

.

I should stop here. You can. It's okay .... bye!

.

However . . .

.

if you're curious why I feel blessed by that sign,

then come with me and listen to

.
"Oh Lord You're Beautiful"

Dads love to give their daughters

kisses at night as they tuck them in,

God does, too!
