You May Not Know:
Confirmed by theologians, psychologist and history is this truth: Human beings become what they behold. Behold beauty and the soul flourishes. Behold the ugly and dark and life becomes the same.
A company became concerned about the ‘techno’ focus of its employees who spent hours at the computer screen. It began requiring a ten-minute ‘beauty break’ every day. Workers were required to admire something non-technical, of beauty and not on the computer. They could look at art, listen to music or go for a walk. The result was increased productivity and greater morale.
"Beauty is God’s handwriting." Charles Kingsley
"Beauty is truth and truth is beauty. That is all you on earth and all you need to know." John Keats
As I shared yesterday, we were designed to appreciate beauty. They aren’t natures accidents. They are one way God speaks to you and sure nourishment for your soul.
Take a 10 minute ‘beauty break’ and see how it blesses your soul.
