I never related to the jazz song from “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” which Carol Channing made famous, “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend.” I don’t like diamonds.

To me, diamonds are bland. They lack the color, fire, and passion of other stones. I don’t wear jewelry at all, but if I did—I would not wear diamonds. That being said, my life is full of diamonds that flash with fire and passion.

All the crown jewels of the Kingdom greet my feet.

On every walk with Savannah, on every drive around the neighborhood, I discover new diamonds. This spring more than ever before in my life I’ve been aware of the beauty God spreads around us like a lovely tapestry. The intricate design and care in each flower bloom. The artistry in each petal and stem. Diamonds of all colors, sizes, and shapes.

Diamonds that belong to everyone regardless of wealth or poverty.

“God has made everything beautiful in its time.” Ecclesiastes 3:11.

Not all diamonds are rocks.
