What do you think of this cake? Messy? Sloppy? Well, I think it is beautiful! Absolutely breathtaking! The one thing Jubilee wanted for her birthday was a three layer cake. (A HUGE treat in our home!) She planned it and made it - top to bottom, start to finish. And she was so proud of herself. She beamed with sheer delight - first because we allowed it - second because she made it - third because it turned out 'perfectly.' I do not find this cake beautiful because the frosting is smooth and the layers are straight. They are not. It is beautiful because when I look at it I can still see Jubilee's smile and can hear her laughter. It is beautiful because it brought such happiness and excitement. And, regardless of how it looked, it tasted yummy!May we find the beauty that is all around us - and not just in the things that are 'beautiful.'
