Thank you for your kind words about the gir...Sandy,<br />Thank you for your kind words about the girls! <br />It's interesting how I have a different response to your question this morning, than I did last night! :) I think it's just like so many other things in our lives... our ability to balance things rightly will ebb and flow. Sometimes we will feel no great conflict, and other times, we realize we need God to show us (and He does!) when our focus is too much on the external. <br />At this point in life, I tend to be like you. :) But I do try to make an effort to at least be presentable when I go places. In part so I don't embarrass my family (!) and also because I feel like I am a representative of the King. He takes such good care of me, and I suppose I think that by taking modest care of my appearance, it is part of how I reflect my gratitude to Him and love for Him to others, whether they realize this consciously or not.

I find myself swinging toward not caring enough how I look, after many years of being waaay to concerned with my appearance. Its hard to strike a wise balance, at least for me:-) Want to get my thinking straight so that I can teach my daughters, and model it to them. <br /><br />Your girls are lovely, inside and out! And you can see their sweet spirits in their smiles and expressions. What a blessing they must be:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2778476730351731419.post-81691691392031798282013-06-26T23:43:54.578-04:002013-06-26T23:43:54.578-04:00I'm sorry!

I have 3 girls (9,7,5) and the oldest is starting to look at herself differently and I am ever-trying to remind her that God created her perfectly...eye color, hair, even down the smallest beauty mark. We all need reminded at some time I suspect. :o)Larissa ~ Prodigal Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475624888344956453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2778476730351731419.post-60168575136102440992013-06-26T11:21:47.547-04:002013-06-26T11:21:47.547-04:00Thank you, April!

The grace that flows over and around us I just pray they can take to their hearts and KNOW they are precious and loved.<br /><br />On another note, Catie was looking over my shoulder the other day and said, "Luke's sisters are SO PRETTY!" Incidentally she's the only non-redhead of my three girls.<br />:)<br /><br />Thanks for such an encouraging post!<br />~aprilApril Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17742772422750681492noreply@blogger.com
