I know this is making its rounds on Facebook, so some of you may have already seen it posted a lot...but this really grabbed my attention. As a matter of fact, it moved me to tears. We sometimes view ourselves in such a harsh light...I just loved this:

The world has really taken a focus on what we look like and THAT makes us see ourselves through other peoples eyes instead of our own. We need to pay attention to what is really there and not what is imagined.
I am SO glad Dove did this...it will make women and maybe men too really start to appreciate what GOD designed.


I had a lady come in Hobby Lobby today and asked me for help in finding an item. She had so much botox going on in her mouth and cheeks that I could barely understand her and she couldn't move her lips. It was SO ugly. Sad...

Absolutely, Gin. This was a really neat 'experiment', whoever came up with the idea. It totally brought me to tears too, Lisa & Teresa, especially watching the expressions on some of the women as they realized the truth of how wrong they were in their description.

That's exactly the part that brought me to tears, too, Mimi. A Different Point of View 25973 Such a powerful, poignant moment.

There's so much emphasis on physical appearance now, and "perfection" - when really there IS no such thing as perfection in physical beauty. And for me, actions have always STRONGLY impacted my view of someone's attractiveness. Some of the people that I think are the most beautiful, or the most handsome, are the ones who are kind, sweet, thoughtful . . . those things make my heart flutter.
A Different Point of View 6472 (Or in the case of women, make me see them as remarkably beautiful.)

I see girls (and now even young women) posting self-portraits day after day after day on Facebook, and I can't help but think that the time they've wasted in taking those "look at me" pictures could have been much better used by helping someone - making a positive impact on someone else even in a small way. . . Our world is so upside down and backwards. Something temporary (physical beauty) is nearly worshiped, while the truly lasting qualities of our soul and spirit are ignored or only given a token nod. And I'm not saying that I think we should all stop caring about how we look - of course we want to look our best...but the beauty of the soul shines through in a far more lasting way than a handsome or cute face ever will...And yet which one is more important in our modern culture?

How very true! I'm so glad you posted this Lisa. When I am out in public or see one of my or my kids friends that haven't seen me for a while, the look on their faces makes me want to stay home and hide. I am a very nice sweet helpful person. It's too bad that people judge you on the way you look.
