Uggs

Who would have thought that Ugg boots would become so trendy, even with their own shop amidst the high fashion labels of London?

No one really seems sure of the history of the name 'Ugg' and various theories are around. The owner of one company that has been making the boots since the late 1950s claims that he invented the name. He says that his inspiration came from his wife, who called the boots ugly.

It's a reminder that what one sees as ugly, another sees as beautiful or trendy or desirable.

But when it comes to human beings, there is one who never sees any of us as ugly - our Loving God. We were created in His image, and although our sin has made us to be 'ugly', God forgives us, looks on us as righteous, and loves the beauty in each of us.

May we learn to see each other through God's eyes.
