To my knowledge Botox has never saved an abused child from the anger of a raging parent.
I don’t recall hearing any stories about bling saving a puppy from getting kicked at the end of a stressful day.
I don’t believe that a face lift has ever caught a baby who thrown up in the air by vicious Sudanese militants for target practice.
The latest rage in facial creams can not replace the ozone layer.
A spa day can not erase the visible scars of a gun shot.
I haven’t heard that the perfect hair cut could provide a homeless man with food for a day.
The best manicure does not bring a child back from the dead.
If Botox and bling can not change the world then how come we deceive ourselves into thinking they can change us into a beautiful person?
True beauty lies beneath the skin.
A beautiful woman steps in to relieve the stressed out parent, asking,”if they need a break, could she take the child to the park for a moment?” During the trip to the park she explores just how often the abuse has happened and if it is frequent, takes proper measures to shield the child from more abuse.
A courageous woman confronts the person who abuses animals. Shaming them for the terror that the sweet puppy must feel. If the shame does not work,she calls the Humane Society. After the animal receives vaccinations that same woman adopts the puppy.
A bold woman gets involved in political activism and cares not only about her children but those of a different color and race. She will advocate for little ones in foreign lands and become a voice for those who are pawns in the horrific game of war.
An intelligent person will realize that if we don’t start nurturing God’s creation with tender love we will in fact destroy the meadows that our grandchildren would frolic through.
A compassionate woman will teach her children the best way to win a fight is to walk away from violence.
A woman who has a heart of gold will not give a homeless man money. She will give them a homemade meal. Providing words of comfort to them as she hands them the meal.
A woman who has lost a child will feel comfort from a woman of love because even though her children are alive she can imagine the horror if one of them had died. Her heart cries out to God for the one who has lost her child to death, pleading for him to embrace her friend.
I have spent way too many moments on my outward beauty and have spent far too few on my inner beauty. I believe that I am a compassionate and loving woman but I have done far too little to change the world and far too much to make myself beautiful.
The beauty of a woman is revealed in the kindness of her heart, the love she has for others and how she expresses that love to those who are searching for love. True beauty really has nothing to do with Botox or bling.
