Summer is flying by! Blogging for Modest Threadz has taken a back seat to playing with my four precious children. In our adventures, we have been to the local Six Flags several times. It's hot in San Antonio, especially at this time of the year. People tend to want to take off layers when it reaches 100 plus. There are many times I've had to divert my children's eyes, to prevent emotional scaring!
Last week while waiting in line for a ride, I was observing a pair of teen girls in front of us. I noticed how beautiful they were. As I watched them, trying not to be obvious, I realized why they stood out from the crowd. Their countenances reflected that they knew who they were. They didn't seem as though they were trying to draw attention to their bodies by wearing revealing, flashy clothes. Their actions, and words were not loud and boisterous, but genuinely happy. I found irony in that while almost everyone around us was reckless and rowdy and wearing clothing that seemed to scream "Look at Me!" these girls were the ones that stood out. In their modesty, they were the ones that I noticed, their true beauty out shined all around them.
It is true we all crave affection and adoration. We want people to like us and notice us, but there is something to be said about inner beauty. Inner beauty cannot be masked or faked, and when it is genuine, it shines outward, making our countenances shine!
I would love to hear stories from you. Do you have any experiences that you would like to share about inner beauty? Please share!
