When we take the time to order our place in a beautiful expression of our own making, to reflect design and color on a table, or through feasting, or giving deliciousness to life, we are mirroring the reality of God in our world. One of the marks of a godly woman is that she takes responsibility for her soul's need for joy and delight and to craft such places where she might find rest and be inspired. To express such beauty is an expression of worship.
Another way of looking at it is that a woman is a conductor, who leads the orchestra of her surroundings in the songs and music of her life. God is a God of creativity and dimension, and so He is pleased when we we co-create beauty in our own realm, through the power of His Spirit.
It was a profound realization when I understood that I could become an artist with my very life in many faceted dimensions of my own world.
