Once I decorated a lovely cake with icing flowers all over it, and my friend insisted on cutting it before guests arrived to a bridal shower for our mutual friend! You're redeeming that experience here for me, friend. I can look at it differently. I did, after all, enjoy making it... :)Betsy de Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16787903903743238209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761080938810306228.post-75288460920781319772018-02-27T17:49:09.895-05:002018-02-27T17:49:09.895-05:00Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Mica...Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Micah. I know just what you mean: it is wonderful and validating when others see what we've done or affirm us personally.

We don't have to always put our stuff out there just to say, "Look at me!" But it sure is nice when others recognize the beauty we've created, isn't it? God creates because it's in his nature to create and to reveal his glory.

At first I just thought about how we can often just miss the beauty out there, but all the wonderful things you shared. I realize even more that beauty is just what God is and does and sometimes just the process of taking a part in creating brings us close to that side of our Heavenly Father.<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend. Visiting from 61 this week. I kind of screwed up and totally typed Beautiful instead of Beauty, but I'm happy I came. :)<br />Kelly Blackwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114157685843686254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761080938810306228.post-23607662888596986022018-02-24T06:57:37.404-05:002018-02-24T06:57:37.404-05:00So true, Andrew.

But I hope she thinks it was still worthwhile to make it look beautiful. Even if no one ever sees it, beauty is worthwhile. Beauty makes the world a better place." I'm sad that they didn't take a picture of the cake though. That's usually the first thing I do when I see a decorated cake. I'm in the 5 spot this week.
