The Beautiful People

(Justin) For about five days now this phrase, "the beautiful people," keeps running through my mind. For me, there is a certain beauty I see in the Latino people that warms my heart. Their soft smiles, their giggles and laughter, the inquisitive looks on the children's faces when they see "gringos" (us white Americans)... there is a certain something inside them that is beautiful.

Of course, this certain something is inside of all of us; it is the image of God. We are made in his image and it is a beautiful thing to see and hear different shades and hues of that image in these people. We are so similar, but we are so very different at the same time. Yet, with spiritual eyes we can see the beauty of our God in all of it.
