Today's gift challenge 

3 things ugly beautiful 

UGLY - the way things often start out

BEAUTIFUL - the way things can end up

Brokenness and sin into healing, hope and mercy through the love of Jesus. 

My tomato plants are ugly right now but are producing beautiful tomatoes. 

Some caterpillars are not the prettiest, but they turn into beautiful butterflies.

Does your focus need to be changed so you 

can see past the ugly, to the beautiful?  

Don't Take Life For Granted

Joy isn't a function of what happens. 

Joy is a function of what I think. 

Joy is a function of how I thank.
