Sparkle!

Sparkle is totally 'in' this season! I love it!
Do you find that it says something about the people who wear it?
To me, it shows a confidence. When I see someone wearing sparkles, my mind tells me that there's beauty inside of that person. There's something there that's admirable and I want to find it out. I most often don't get to...but I'd like to.
Another reason I like sparkle is because of a little thought my mom once planted in my head that I've never wanted to shake.
She tells that sparkle says something about heaven.

I did a little interview with her just now:

"Oh sparkle?! I think it's something that's universally valued in humans. So much so, that some of the earlier explorers were able to trade sparkly beads and trinkets for the Indigenous people's more valuable resources and needs!
"I've just always wondered what it is about sparkle that makes us trade huge amounts of our resources for it: like diamonds.
"It makes me think that heaven sparkles. Of course, that's confirmed in Revelation where the streets and the beauty surrounding the throne are described. The author had a hard time putting words to it, but he explained it using the beautiful stones like the emerald. Even looking at water: it's so fetching when it sparkles. Eyes are more fetching when they sparkle."

Cool, huh? I love that thought!

Here's another thought to add to this small wonder of sparkle:
To make a long story short, it can be found in the book of Ezekiel. God had this to say to (a type of) heaven's fallen angel:

"You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty...every precious stone was your covering, sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle, and crafted in gold were your settings and your engravings. On the day that you were created, they were prepared...You were an anointed guardian cherub."

So, Lucifer, when he was an angel of heaven, was adorned with every precious stone? I heard in a sermon once that he was the most beautiful angel of them all. What is up with that?! Is that interesting to you? It is to me! What is it about sparkle?

I wonder if, when we wear sparkle, we are not only saying something about ourselves, but we're saying something more eternal than we know?
I have no idea.
All I know is that sparkle is 'in,' and I love it!
