Time-Tested Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

--Sam Levenson

1 Peter 3:3-4

New Living Translation (NLT)

³ Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. ⁴ You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.

Today Is From My Loving Father

Today I was struck by the Psalm 118:24 verse. I know this verse inside and out, I sing it to my kids throughout the day. But today God hit me with a profound part of this verse that I knew but never took note of. I always took the verse as I rejoice in the day b/c God made it. But today I also realized that I'm rejoicing and I'm also supposed to be glad. And there are no pre-qualifications on it. It is not dependent on how well my day is going. I am glad and rejoicing, no matter what! 

How in the world is it possible to do this on those days when Bella is whining and playing selfishly. Caiden is crawling after me whining all day and Ada is yelling out and screaming because she is angry. And I still have all the house work to do? This is what I learned also:


1. This day was brought to me by my loving Father. He didn't forget me and my needs and accidentally handed me a hard day. He knows what I need and when I need it.


2.He also doesn't leave me on my own to figure it out. Like Phil. 4:13 said, It is CHRIST who helps me through my day. I tell Bella this ALL day, after she has been disciplined, is having a complaining spirit, does not want to share, etc. I tell her ask Jesus to help you. He loves you and wants to help you do the hard things. Wow if I only told MYSELF that more often!
