Beauty Deeper Than Skin

I said goodbye yesterday to a friend who died much too early. Cynthia Kay Miller was extraordinarily beautiful all her life.

More importantly, her life was beautiful too. Faithful elder's wife, loving mother and grandmother, a first-grade teacher for 22 years, Bible school teacher, author of Bible-school curriculum, friend to the hundreds of people who came to say goodbye, Cynthia lived a rich life for God. Her illness showed in the lines of her face, but so did the peace which passes all understanding.

Dear God, help us to thank the beautiful, godly people in our lives for their love, gifts and grace before they die.
