     A woman writes about the beauty around her and how she aims to change the ugly parts of the world into something wonderful.

I don't know how He does it.

God has made some beautful things.  Only God can create something as lovely as a tree or the stars, moon, and sun.  Or even all the critters on thie earth or clouds, rain, snow, hail, and whatnot.

I look at the simple yet intricate artistry of a spider's web with dew hanging off of it, or even the spider itself.  I wonder how God can create something so repulsive (the spider), and yet I marvel at its ability to spin a beautiful web.

I look at the aurora borealis dancing in the nighttime skies during the spring, winter, or fall months of the year, or at a meteor (fireball) streaking across the sky.  I wonder how God knew how to make something to capture our attention, even if only for a moment, and yet it stays imprinted on our minds forever and ever.

I look at people. Even God created people.  All sizes, all shapes, all colors.  Some may look alike (twins or other multiples), but even they have their own special differences that sets them apart from anybody else.  I wonder which people look the most like God because it is often said in the Good Book that "God created man in His image".

Our world may seem perfect, but man is bent on destroying it and it breaks my heart.  I wonder how He feels when He sees animals being abandoned or abused, or seeing children going without food or seeing trash being dumped in public places ... and people just don't seem to care or want to get involved to solve these pressing problems.  I am sure God must be crying in His hands, wondering where mankind went wrong.

He must be absolutely heartbroken!

I am one who aims to see that animals are cared for, or that children do not go without something to fill their hungry little bellies.  I give to children's charities all the time, and I'm the type of person who can be seen giving a blanket or some food to a homeless Veteran on the streets or giving them a word of encouragement or even a hug.  I care for my world, and I am going to do my level-headed best to see that people are treated fairly or that trash is picked up or that animals have a place to stay, food in their bowls, and fresh, clean water to drink.

If nobody else won't do it, then I will do it by myself.  I want my God to be pleased with what I do here on Earth, and I want to make a difference!

There may be a lot of ugliness in the world today, but I aim to make it beautiful and try to restore some of it to its former glory, the way that God intended it to be.
