Funny how the many voices we hear in our lifetimes tell us such different things:
Our moms and grammas tell us that it doesn't matter how pretty we are, we are still expected to behave like ladies. "Pretty is as pretty does".
Scripture teaches us to be strong, trusting, faithful, generous, loving, kind, patient, gentle spirited and respectful.
Some folks don't care if we are any of those things as long as we look good. Then some tell us how very wrong it is to try and get by on looks alone. And apparently some believe that how loving and honest we are is dependent upon what we look like no matter how old we are. Mind boggling.
Maybe being alone is better.
It's certainly less confusing, isn't it?
