It's a Beautiful Life: Poem by Erin

I step outside first thing in the morning
Listen to the cacophony of birds twittering
And children devising brilliant schemes of pirate adventure
It's a beautiful Life

I laugh at the table with my children
Watch their minds blossom as we explore science and history
and uncover the love God has for them
It's a beautiful life

I inhale the smell of my richly composted earth
Plant another green leafed vegetable in my garden
and marvel at how much life comes from tiny seeds
It's a beautiful life

I smile as my husband displays pictures
Taken for me while away because he knows I love beautiful things
He brings home bags of mulch as if reading my mind
It's a beautiful life

My photographs, my paintings, my flower beds
Glimpses of the beauty my eyes behold every day
Only glimpses of the beauty God has given me
It's a beautiful Life

John 1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.
He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
