Anonymous Blessing

God Provides.
We all know this.
We can see it in the fact that we are still breathing, or that we have food to eat, or that we have somewhere to sleep.
But I love it when you can see it plain as day.

A few moments ago I was walking up my porch and noticed a letter in our mail box.
It did not have a return address on it, only our address that was written by what looked to be a type writter, not by hand.

So I opened it.
A small peice of yellow paper that was wrapped around something was inside.
Still no writting
I slowly unfolded the paper, looking for something to give away who the sender was or a note.
I was almost brought to tears by what was inside the peice of paper.

A gift card that says "Happy Easter", worth $50.
We could not believe it!
Someone spent their money on us. It is truly humbling to be the recipiant of such an amazing gift, one of such self-less giving.
It is so amazing to see people helping others, and not wanting any reward, not even letting us know who they are so we can thank them.
That is truly doing something for the Glory of God.
The only person I can thank is Jesus.
I cannot express my feelings of gratitude to whoever sent us such a blessing.
Thank you.

It has been a while since I last posted. This has been because of some very interesting dialogue in response to my previous post. If you are interested, check it out!

//The Truth of Aesthetics

The Truth of beauty astounds me.
People are beautiful.
Beauty that is both within, but also outwardly aesthetic.

Aesthetics cannot be explained with rational understanding, which in and of itself holds beauty.
What makes a person, or anything, aetheticly pleasing?
Can you define the confines of what beauty is?
Is there an Absolute aesthetic, which if possessed makes something beautiful?
Or is aesthetics relitive to the veiwer?
If this it is defined by the viewer, and beauty expresses a Truth, is this Truth also relitive?
