One of the most beautiful sites in the world is in China. There roundtop mountains covered in greenery rise to the sky leaving doaens of little valleys sagging between these lush rountops. Another is in Hawaii. It's a beach at the bottom of a lava flow that once glowed with heat. Another appears in the Rockies. It's an alpine lake nestled against the resplendent Teton peaks. Another... ad infinitum.
Unique places exist all over the earth. Each exudes its own beauty in its own setting. Nature has a lesson here.
Each person leaves an imprint behind in the minds of others around us. It's an imprint of beauty... hopefully. Some imprints are not. We get to leave thousands of imprints in our lifetime. But, it's like the roundtops in China. There are some angles more beautiful than others for the mind to remember. The sandy Hawaiian beaches have some picture angles prettier than the lava flow beach, but not many.
We form our opinions from the imprints people leave behind them. Perhaps, the mystique, the intrigue is anticipating what the next imprint will be because the last one left us feeling so warm, or cheerful, or valued. If the last imprint was not beautiful, but horrid, then hope is born.
May the Creator hear the cries of those full of hope—waiting on a beautiful imprint from someone, anyone. And may he fill the praise of those full of appreciation—waiting on the next extraordinary imprint.
