saturdays

For the next month, on Saturdays middle sis is in her reading class from 10-12.

So we head to a nearby mall to kill some time.

My son rarely stands still for a picture.

But I was inspired to take this so I could tell you about this little conversation

that took place a second earlier.

There was a billboard for a lipgloss that makes your lips big.

My son was asking, "Why would anyone want to make their lips big?"

I told him about how ladies seem to like bigger lips.

And that some women will even inject something in them to make them bigger.

To which he replied, "That's weird, why don't they just want to be the 

way God made them?"

And in his ten year old wisdom, he is so right.

"Don't be concerned about the outward 
beauty that depends on fancy hairstyles, 

expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes.  

You should be known for the beauty

that comes from within, 

the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, 

which is so precious to God."

1 Peter 3:3-4
