Architecture.  I so enjoy creative craftsmanship and interesting structures.  Perhaps that is why I live in a Victorian home built in the late 1800's!  There is something about sturdy and beautifully detailed buildings that tell something of their integrity and charm.  In earlier days, it seems that builders took much pride in artistry and particulars of homes and buildings where they lived and worked.  I so admire the imagination and fine skill that went into those stately buildings.  

A really marvelous thing is that our "structures" are also wonderfully made.  Our great Craft-Master had a beautifully detailed plan for each individual He created!  Everything about you and me was designed for the purpose of His delight and pleasure!  There are things about each of us that are entirely unique and represent a small brilliant portion of the character of our Maker!  We were given talents, personalities, gifts and features that display His amazing handiwork and reflect His love and light.  

Sometimes I look at a building that might have one specific detail and I realize that it is that very addition that makes it so charming!  Some of us have what seems like endless talents to share.  Others may have that one small detail that is a very life-giving portion to other individuals.  Maybe you don't even know what it is that you can offer.  I can tell you now that if you allow His life to be your portion and joy, then His charm will awake others to the reality of His beauty and saving grace.

"For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb.  I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well."  Psalm 139:13, 14.
