Simple beauty

We had to go to a funeral a few weeks ago. It was in a very small town in North - Central Texas. It was a funeral for a lady that has been a part of my husband's family for quite some time.

Her service was at this Baptist church in the city's downtown...it was a historical land mark. She was a third generation member of this church.

It was old, it was unassuming, it was simple, and it was beautiful.
Plain white walls with wooden beam supports...and these amazing stained glass works of art. All along the sides of the sanctuary and at the front by the Baptismal.

Her service was a lot like the church....full of purpose but, not over done. One song, some pretty flowers, and her pastor gave an easy to follow message.

Made me think that sometimes the more simple we keep things the better.

Hard to do....but, it is true!
