That was a great lesson from Jesus about the great value of beauty as an influence leading to the urge to worship, especially with children. He preferred to commune with the heavenly Father amidst the trees and among the lowly creatures of the natural world.I conclude by saying, since we are followers of Jesus's life and teaching, we have to put beauty in consideration during worship. He emphasized it in the next paragraph 167:6.6 (1840.5) When it is not possible to worship God in the tabernacles of nature, men should do their best to provide houses of beauty, sanctuaries of appealing simplicity and artistic embellishment, so that the highest of human emotions may be aroused in association with the intellectual approach to spiritual communion with God.
