"Sometimes beauty hurts."

Today I started to think about the phrase, "Sometimes beauty hurts." Course my mom always said that to me as she was pulling my hair into some new contortion. But ya know it's true about other stuff too. Some times the most beautiful things in life take self sacrifice and truely painful effort. And the most painful things also can create the most beautiful character traits as well. So hard things and painful experiences are not all bad. It's just hard to see the beauty sometimes.

Well thought, my friend. Youve laid it out well. We must go through some ruff stuff sometimes to help shape us into the beauty that lies beneath... God helps develope our character in ways we dont always understand. No diffrent than the journey of a precious stone, bashed and chiseled to the polished beauty we find. Seldom do we admire the idea, and less seldom the journey, but in the end, God finds what we are truley meant to be: Jewels for Him!
