Simplicity in Beauty

With the fast Sunday testimony meeting a lot of the testimonies born today were on gratitude. It really made me think of the things I am grateful for. I want to share some thoughts I have had today with all of you.
Simplicity is the greatest kind of beauty. A child's laugh, and the purity that rings within their smile brings joy and happiness to all of us around them. Because of the simplicity in a laugh happiness is easy to achieve. I am grateful for laughter...
The clouds fill the sky, and fill the Earth with water, rejuvenating the plants and life on Earth.One of the most relaxing sounds is the sound of rain dropping on the roof. I fall asleep quickly whenever it rains, and the world seems to slow down just a little.
Not only do we enjoy the smell of rain, the peace and calm it brings, and the blessing of water but a simple miracle takes my breath away. With just the right amount of water, and the perfect angle of light the beauty of a rainbow takes your mind.

Beauty is simple, divine, and unique. You don't have to be a model, or have the best clothes. Beauty comes within, and is based on your heart. I know God lives, he loves us for who we are, not what we look like. I know I am a Daughter of God. I know that Joseph Smith was and is a prophet. Thomas S. Monson leads and guides the church today. The spirit is real, and I am so grateful for the power of it in my life. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have, and the knowledge I have yet to gain. Families are eternal, and the temple is a place I go to be renewed with the spirit. Never let Satan tell you otherwise. I know of these things to be true, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
