You are a Beautiful Woman!!!” Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month? Well, it is and that means you!!! I'm supposed to send this to FIVE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, and you are one of them!!! Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips?" It was read at her funeral years later.
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/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone... People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
If you share this with another woman, something good will happen. You will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you care about her. LOVE U MY FRIEND!!! HUGS!!! MUAH!!!
HEAR ME, BLESSED JESUS AS I SAY MY PRAYERS TODAY AND TELL ME YOU ARE CLOSE TO ME, AND YOU'LL NEVER GO AWAY, AND TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS YOU DO, AND TELL ME ALSO, JESUS, I CAN ALWAYS COME TO YOU AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND ME WHEN OTHER PEOPLE DON'T, AND THOUGH SOME MAY FORGET ME JUST TELL ME THAT YOU WON'T- AND, JESUS, STAY REAL CLOSE TO ME AT HOME AND SCHOOL AND PLAY, FOR I WILL FEEL MUCH BRAVER IF YOU'RE NEVER FAR AWAY- AND SOMETIMES WHEN I'M NAUGHTY, I HOPE YOU WON'T BE SAD, FOR REALLY I DON'T MEAN TO DO ANYTHING THAT'S BAD- AND MOST OF ALL, DEAR JESUS, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND I KNOW OUR FATHER SENT YOU TO US TO LIVE ON EARTH BELOW SO LITTLE CHILDREN LIKE MYSELF WOULD KNOW YOU TOO WERE SMALL, AND THAT YOU ARE OUR DEAREST FRIEND AND YOU UNDERSTAND US ALL- AND, JESUS, I LIKE CHRISTMAS FOR THE PRESENTS THAT IT BRINGS,, BUT I KNOW YOUR LOVE IS GREATER THAN ALL THE OTHER THINGS- AND SOME DAY WHEN I'M OLDER I WILL SHOW YOU IT IS TRUE THAT EVEN AS A CHILD MY HEART BELONGED TO YOU.
WE READ THE HEADLINES DAILY AND LISTEN TO THE NEWS, WE SHAKE OUR HEADS DESPAIRINGLY AND GLUMLY SING THE BLUES- WE ARE RESTLESS AND DISSATISFIED AND WE DO NOT FEEL SECURE, WE ARE VAGUELY DISCONTENTED WITH THINGS WE MUST ENDURE... THIS VIOLENT AGE WE LIVE IN IS FILLED WITH NAMELESS FEARS AS WE LISTEN TO THE NEWSCASTS THAT COME DAILY TO OUR EARS, AND WE VIEW THE THREATENING FUTURE WITH SAD SOBRIETY AS WE'RE SURROUNDED DAILY BY INCREASED ANXIETY... HOW CAN WE FIND SECURITY OR STAND ON SOLID GROUND WHEN THERE'S VIOLENCE AND DISSENSION AND CONFUSION ALL AROUND; WHERE CAN WE GO FOR REFUGE FROM THE RISING TIDES OF HATE, WHERE CAN WE FIND A HAVEN TO ESCAPE THIS SHAMEFUL FATE... SO INSTEAD OF READING HEADLINES THAT DISTURB THE HEART AND MIND, LET US OPEN UP THE BIBLE AND IN DOING SO WE'LL FIND THAT THIS AGE IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE MILLIONS GONE BEFORE, BUT IN EVERY HOUR OF CRISIS GOD HAS OPENED UP A DOOR FOR ALL WHO SEEK HIS GUIDANCE AND TRUST HIS ALL-WISE PLAN, FOR GOD PROVIDES PROTECTION BEYOND THAT DEVISED BY MAN... AND WE LEARN THAT EACH TOMORROW IS NOT OURS TO UNDERSTAND, BUT LIES SAFELY IN THE KEEPING OF THE GREAT CREATOR'S HAND, AND TO HAVE THE STEADFAST KNOWLEDGE THAT WE NEVER WALK ALONE AND TO REST IN THE ASSURANCE THAT OUR EVERY NEED IS KNOWN WILL HELP DISPEL OUR WORRIES, OUR ANXIETIES AND CARE, FOR DOUBT AND FEAR ARE VANQUISHED IN THE PEACEFULNESS OF PRAYER.
WHERE THERE IS LOVE THE HEART IS LIGHT, WHERE THERE IS LOVE THE DAY IS BRIGHT, WHERE THERE IS LOVE THERE IS A SONG TO HELP WHEN THINGS ARE GOING WRONG, WHERE THERE IS LOVE THERE IS A SMILE TO MAKE ALL THINGS SEEM MORE WORTHWHILE, WHERE THERE IS LOVE THERE'S QUIET PEACE, A TRANQUIL PLACE WHERE TURMOILS CEASE... LOVE CHANGES DARKNESS INTO LIGHT AND MAKES THE HEART TAKE "WINGLESS FLIGHT"- OH, BLEST ARE THEY WHO WALK IN LOVE... THEY ALSO WALK WITH GOD ABOVE, AND WHEN MAN WALKS WITH GOD AGAIN THERE SHALL BE PEACE ON EARTH FOR MEN.
I hope and pray that all is well with you and your loved ones. May the love of Christ be with us today and always:)
THERE IS REALLY NOTHING WE NEED KNOW OR EVEN TRY TO UNDERSTAND IF WE REFUSE TO BE DISCOURAGED AND TRUST GOD'S GUIDING HAND... SO TAKE HEART AND MEET EACH MINUTE WITH FAITH IN GOD'S GREAT LOVE, AWARE THAT EVERY DAY OF LIFE IS CONTROLLED BY GOD ABOVE... AND NEVER DREAD TOMORROW OR WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS, JUST PRAY FOR STRENGTH AND COURAGE AND TRUST GOD IN ALL THINGS... AND NEVER GROW DISCOURAGED BE PATIENT AND JUST WAIT FOR"GOD NEVER COMES TOO EARLY AND NEVER COMES TOO LATE!"
CAST THY BURDEN UPON THE LORD AND HE SHALL SUSTAIN THEE...
