Beautiful You

Do you look to a person for the validation of your beauty or do you look to yourself to find beautiful you?

I had a wise woman tell me that beauty is in the eye of the behold. Have you ever heard that statement? When I polled a few ladies about this statement, I got the following responses:

1. That only a person can determine what is beautiful to them or about someone
2. Another person determines your beauty
3. A person has to be beautiful to behold beauty
4. God is the holder and creator of all things and it is he that determines beauty which is everthing that he has created on earth.

I think God has created all of us to be beautiful you by way of physical attributes, spiritual gifts, the holy spirit, through our daily life purpose that brings beauty to a person, organization, family, social cause, or church family. Sometimes we forget to look beyond the physical attributes to find beauty that is "skin deep" and touches a life in a positive way. If you have a beautiful person in your life cherish them with the flowers they deserve while they are here to receive them. 

A tribute to all of the beautiful people in world:

I'm Thankful...R U?

Happy Thanksgiving Day! 

The economy is not the best and I believe people, along with myself, have been THANKFUL for the blessings that we normally would take for granted. Such as?  I'm speaking of basic human needs and geninue love of family, friends, colleagues, and significant others.


I watch the media and listen to the woes of those I know, those whose pathways  the Lord allows me to cross; and, I realize how blessed and thankful I am... most of all that the Lord always makes a way out of no way. This holiday season as you share with family, friends, or just yourself  pause for a moment to reflect on your blessings and how you can speak a word of life to bless and encourage your fellow brother or sister in Christ.

Food for Thought:  Mark 8:36, The Bible
