Order & Beauty of Williamsburg
posted by
The great attention to detail, order, and beauty within Williamsburg was a real joy to behold during our December visit to Williamsburg.
It is a testimony to the Word of the Lord when He beheld His creation and declared, “…it was very good (Gen. 1:31).” Why do such manifestations as the golden mean, evenly ordered landscapes, and beautiful floral arrangements strike such awe and wonder to the eyes of the beholder? They are in harmony with what God designated as beautiful.
Furthermore, as was accounted of in a post early last year, beauty and order should be present at our abodes, ”So…That the traveler would not have passed it, without wishing to see it’s inhabitants: and the weary wanderer would have approached the door, in confidence of a kind welcome to nourishment and repose.” It creates a hospitable atmosphere so that souls may be warmed with the love of and thereby drawn to our Shepherd and Creator, Jesus Christ.
Christmas time in Williamsburg is beautiful!
You guys are very observant. The beauty and order does make the appearance so welcoming!
The Christmas wreaths made out of real fruit were extraordinary!
Thanks for sharing these pictures! I believe that modern abstraction and departing from natural and beautiful order is a direct consequence of man departing from God.
Very beautiful!
