God hides His beauty in the most unlikely places.

I have found for years that God hides His beauty in strange places. Like the geode is very ugly on the outside but cut it open and a treasure of fantastic beauty is your gift from God.

I started a new hobby and as you will see in the pictures attached that this is true in other places as well. First you will view a picture of a fungus that was growing on a tree and the next picture is what I did with that fungus after a great deal of sanding. The interesting part is even after I removed much of the ugly fungus I could not see much detail but after moving from indoors out into the sunlight and started sanding with very light sand paper I began to see some detail come out. The more I worked the more I could see. The more I could see the more I worked!

I believe this is the way us humans are in God's hands. He is sanding us and if we will submit to His work we will reach our greatest destiny that God intends for us. So after looking at these works don't ever look at anyone for what you see on the outside, but what you now know is on the inside.

"Before the sanding and what most of us think we look like."

The one above is my first and was a gift to my wife Sue.
