Guilty!!!!
I am admitting to my friends and fam two things that I have done and probably will do again:(hoepfully not) first and foremost I open my eyes regularly in prayers, Chris used to tease me, but excepts my lack of eye closure. Where does this lead to- Sunday (Luke is a model child of irreverence.) my eyes peeked open during the closing prayer of sacrament meeting to find Luke doing a jig in front of Derek, arms full swing and the whole works; he was laughing because Dek had his eyes closed (takes after his father) and was not paying attention. Confession #1
Confession #2 "I am soo fat." I have said this to my poor husband too many times no more. I had a moment last night when I realized as women how silly this is-someone who is extremely thin had said this to her husband and I laughed because she is thin.
I must ask why? Men do not go around comparing legs, chests, hair, etc. So why do we, I know some is related to the media and the culture of women's beauty, all of us know where true beauty comes from-WITHIN. We know this, yet, it is like we do not want to believe it. A lady that used to clean Kathy's house was not anything one might find on Cover Girl, but how pretty she is, for example, she loved all the children and would care for them gently. She cleaned with love and thoughtfulness, she would hug me whenever I came in. She was simple and simply put beautifully kind. Beauty shown from her. I will start the trend today, go tell yourself your beautiful, smile be proud to be you-It is nice, it feels right, after all "God did not create junk" and I do not want my daughter to see through that strange mirror of beauty.- I am beautiful, my friends are beautiful, and my family is beautiful!!!!!
