Unexpected Beauty

Posted on Friday at 4:17

“Do not be limited by fear or narrow definitions, and don’t build walls around yourselves, but instead do your best to find kinship and beauty in unexpected places.” -Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro

Look around you. There is something beautiful there and although it is not always easy to find, it is definitely worth searching for.

What I love about the photo above is how it captures the signs of abandoned territory that people came across and expressed themselves in a unique way, ultimately making something beautiful. And that is what we are all about: the search for beauty in the unexpected and serving toward the common good.

Please share the last time you found something beautiful in an unexpected place.

UPDATE

I posted that about an hour ago and I then came across this video that I could not believe I was watching as it was playing in front of me. This story is exactly what I was talking about.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day from the crew at Jedidiah! Hope it has been incredible for you.

We got to hear a little bit about their time on the road, their time in Haiti and what is coming up on the horizon for them. Video of that conversation will be posted soon (snapshot pictured above). For those of you who haven’t yet heard them, click the link below to get a feel. Not only do they make great music, but they are great guys.
