It is something that, should we allow ourselves to be open to it, actively draws our attention not only to it, but draws us to draw others\\u2019 attention to it as well. In this way, beauty\\u2019s purpose serves to engage us with each other\\u2014so that we can create and curate even more beauty.\\n\\xa0\\nJoin us as we discover how beauty reveals the inescapable reality that we were made for connection, and that beauty is one of God\\u2019s most powerful means of showing us that this is true.\\n\\xa0\\n. . . .\\nEpisode Links and References\\nArtistic Offering discussed today: Van Gogh Irises\\nArtistic Offering for next week: Nature in your community... get outside!\\n\\xa0\\n. . . . .\\nSpecial Thanks for our Season Sponsor - Compassion International\\nThe world is currently facing a devastating global food crisis caused from numerous variables: the war in Ukraine, fertilizer shortages, effects of COVID-19, and extreme weather, just to name a few.
