How to give children beauty
Today, I’m going to talk about how to give our children beauty. I have to start by saying that this is a weakness in me. I’m good at giving truth and goodness but have a hard time with beauty.
Don’t get me wrong, I love beauty. I love beauty in nature, architecture, fashion, and more. However, I have not been able to bring it in the home. I think I’m part because it’s not my talent but also because I embraced minimalism thus eliminated beauty. Minimalism can be great but if there is no beauty, it’s just bland and uninspiring.
“If they grow up steeped in Scripture and truth, beautiful and life giving practices, and the sacrificial example of love at home, chances are they will carry these virtues with them.” - Sally Clarkson
This quote from Sally Clarkson made me realize how important it is to include beauty in our home. So, from here on out, I am going to do my best to include beauty in the home with books, flowers (fresh or not), and decor.
I have seen how my children are enjoying our home so much more because of the decor. This doesn’t have to be only on Christmas but all year round.
