Unfortunately, science was not a favorite subject of many of us in school. But some teachers had a way of making things interesting with a lesson in reflective surfaces. God bless teachers who have passion!

| Every Form Is Unique! |
What made this demonstration so interesting was creating a favorite childhood toy: the kaleidoscope. Using ordinary objects like beads, glass and buttons along with mirrors and angles, the experiment created beautiful pictures inside a tube when held up to the light.
The word kaleidoscope comes from Greek words meaning “beautiful form to see.” And none of the colorful designs in the school project were ever exactly the same twice! That is precisely how God sees us. Individually awesome!
Vision and Values
Even if the person we lived with never appreciated our true beauty, talents or gifts, who says we have to accept that lack of vision? We have a chance to shatter any distorted image of ourselves by remembering:
- Our value is not dependent on another person, whether that person is an ex-spouse, authority figure, or parent. On this earth, only you know you.
- One person can never change another person. We can only change our response to that person.
- Love is a two-way street. One person can not injure a relationship. It's been said, "It takes two to tango!"
- No one can ever make God turn His back on us.
- No power in heaven or earth can cut us off from His love.
So now that we are on our own, we can do our souls good by drawing near to God and preparing for heaven while on earth. Nothing will give us more faith, hope, and confidence in knowing that "in all things God works for the good of those who love Him."
Now, go on out and buy a kaleidoscope to celebrate your beautiful form!
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Romans 8:31
