I was deepin thought regarding a heftier matter when my mind flashed this ticker(marquee) across my mind, "Oh good grief! Not this again!" Instantly I had wonderful thoughts about our bodies and beauty.
Ok, this gets pretty deep, but try and.follow. I used to get all upset trying to understand why I would look like this, unlike any other woman. It isn't a matter of being unattractive or unfit. It is unwomanly. That lead me to think about God. Yeah, there is an awesome line in "Robin hood: Prince of Thieves" where Morgan Freeman's character says, "Allah delights in various colors."directly referring to race, but to me, the gangly, homely teen that I was. I wondered if I was alien or something, because I was so unlike anyone else. Then, I decided those boys in Dahlonega were right. I looked like a Beneton Model. I was so unique it was a rare thing like diamonds or gold esteemed for rarity.
But, tonight, I had a new delightful thought about it. I am a daughter of God and was created in his image. But, I was blessed with all of the abilities of a woman. I incubated and fed 5 children with this body and it has served my purposes,well. Now, I no longer have a uterus, so I do not have that bothersome monthly occurrance, nor any fear of an unexpected pregnancy. Then, I thought that maybe a woman's features differed from our Heavenly Father's in a sort of way to entice or appeal to men. This is touched on in Twilight where Vampires are given sparkling features to entice. But, darn it all to heck men started liking eachother anyway. Well, I am not as strong, harsh, or militant, but I definitely look more like a man than a woman.
Then I started thinking about cosmetics and surgery and how it will all backfire, if not in this life, in the next. We will no longer have makeup to make us pretty and I do not think we will retain any surgically accentuated parts. Our beauty must be in ourselves. It sounds like another rediculous scam, if you are not at the point to understand yet. But, don't stop or give up!
We are beautiful inherently. I thought this before on a blog and I only believe it more now. If we exist we have traits that were attractive enough to draw two people together. It is like survival of the fittest, and of you breathe, you own some of the fittest attributes, never ever doubt that.
I have always wanted to be.appreciated and loved, like I loved my exhusband, but I concluded that it was never going to happen for me, but I was wrong. It just hasn't happened yet. I figured that was just a trick used to deceive me, and it did not matter. But, it does. A very cool theory a friend had years ago regarding families was what he called "family repentance". Where each generation is sussively wiser. I believe that is true with our "beauty evolution."
No one,need ever tell us we are beautiful, and we definitely do not need any sort of product, we do not need a large number of adoring fans or have a popularity contest. Majority doesn't rule when it comes to beauty. We only need one total admirerer. And lovers are like occupations, we only need one to focus on, and if we love it we will never stop that job, if only in our hearts, it constantly continues.
Time to wash my hair. Not for beauty's sake, but for cleanliness!
