The Real Deal!

Us "girlie girls" get all excited about those extra things that add to what we already have.

We love the new shades of lipstick, the new shade of nail color that's in or maybe the new nail accessory, "minx"....which of course, I haven't looked into yet. Now, personally I'm not sure if that's my thing. But who knows? We also get tickled about purses, shoes, you name it, and we want it. Now, that doesn' t mean we always get it! lol Although I'm a girlie girl, I don't usually go out and buy what everyone else has every five minutes. I love stylish things, but I like my own style. As they say, I have my own flava! That's just the way I like it. So here's the point.....make-up, shoes, purses,and all the glitz and glamour doesn't make YOU who you are. Sure, you've heard it a million times, that "real beauty" is on the inside. It's true ladies! It's within.

Beauty on the inside is priceless!!! It's how you carry yourself as a woman, it's the kindness, compassion and concern that you show for others. It's having a spirit of love.

It's being a woman who does unto others as you'd want them done unto you.

That REAL BEAUTY on the inside manifests itself so intensely, that when you walk into a room with or without any girlie accessories.....and speak with genuiness, it shows to those around you.

That beauty is a value that many would love......but it's all yours! You can't lay it down, hang it up, or even loan it out. It's with you 24/7. So, the next time you feel the need to get accessorized from head to toe, and you just don't feel like it, just remember, that you're still beautiful, and if no one else thinks so, God does and so do I.

Food For Thought: Now, I'm not saying that we're not to look presentable when we go out, or on a date with our husband's or a boyfriend or just because we want to. The point is to let you know, that YOUR beauty is within. Don't ever forget that. Now, if you're beauty on the "outside" is wonderful with all that glamour and accessories.....and your "inside" is ......ummmm, well "messed up" with a bad attitude, .. then that means you simply give it to God and allow him to help you. Pray over it and He'll make it right.

Have a HAPPY FRIDAY!
