Thursday Thought – Where does your beauty come from?

One of the plants I keep at my office desk is a vine-like plant called Alternanthera Ficoidea. If you are not a plant person, let me introduce you to the plant’s common nickname – Joseph’s Coat. The plant received the nickname Joseph’s Coat by scientists and plant lovers alike because while it is a green vine-like plant, when exposed to proper sunlight it can grow to display, purple, pink, orange, or red in its leaves depending on the plant’s subspecies. But the beauty of this plant only comes out when it spends time in the sunlight. This got me thinking about a famous quote by C.S. Lewis:

Tuesday Truth - Reflection of the Father

This weekend I was blessed with the opportunity to spend the weekend with my parents. Most people when they meet my parents can quickly identify the personality traits, physical features, and facial expressions I received from my mom. In fact, a common response I get before even introducing my parents is “This MUST be your mom, you look just like her.” This got me thinking about how we are called Children of the King. Scripture tells us in Genesis 1:29 we are “Made in the Image of God”.
