Lemons and Oranges

Just the other day while putting my groceries away, I put my oranges and lemons in the bowl on the kitchen counter. And, I know that sounds rather mundane, but at the instant the sunlight filtered through the window above my sink and I noticed the intricacies of the colors, yellow and orange. So different, but so beautiful.

It makes me consider all the beauty this world is filled with, all the depths of color that exists. Pale blues, scarlet and cherry reds, lavender and lilac hues of purple, pastel pink and deep fuchsia, bright pearl white and rich ebony shades of onyx.

Yes, the world is filled with such beauty. The earth is God’s masterpiece and He has painted it with brilliant hues that is a gift to us.

Take the time to notice this gift that God has blessed us with.

Seek out the beauty in the simple moments.

And, share with the world.

Have a blessed week ahead.

I am a published poet and short story writer. I have been published in SNHU's the penmen review. https://penmenreview.com/author/jenny-andrews is the link where you can find my poetry and a short story. Currently, I am writing a collection of short stories, and a collection of poetry. I am trying my hand at writing a novel. Well, not a novel, actually. Make that two novels. My passion is writing. My inspiration is Franz Krafka because he managed to see the absurdity of life. Life is all about perspective and who is telling the story. We all see this life through the lens of our experiences. Literature should inspire us to think, to analyze, and to get lost in unfamiliar worlds in which we learn something new about this human existence. It is my hope that my writing challenges the reader to think, and to see a different perspective, as well as be entertained. My faith in Jesus strengthens me and gives me the courage to survive the twists and turns of this life. My faith influences a lot of my writing in that goodness always triumphs over evil, in that love conquers all. I hope you enjoy reading my blog.
