Precious

Today at church, the Pastor said that there are two things that are precious to God. Inner beauty and the death of his righteous followers. That made me think that about many things. The first being how I've learned over the years that outer beauty fades but inner beauty can never be destroyed. I continuously work on myself and how I conduct myself around others because I long for that lasting inner beauty. Hearing people say " She is beautiful on both the inside on out" is a blessing in my eyes. For those who miss out on the chance to get to know me and how I look on the inside certainly are missing out. The pastor also reminded us that "the biggest room that people have, is the room for improvement." I believe that too. I can always keep striving to do right in the eyes of the Lord. As far as death of His righteous people being a precious thing, I related that to my Mother's passing. The selfish part of me wants her here in the flesh but I have also realized that the blessings that my Mother received from God went through her and others were blessed because she was highly favored. The blessings that I have been receiving since her passing have been given to me in such a way that I can't think that she is a big part of those blessings. That..... I am most thankful for.

I love you Mom.
