She has good bones

A young friend of mine was recently bemoaning her high cheekbones and full cheeks. She felt like they made her look the dreaded, three-lettered f-word, which shall remain unnamed!

They most definitely don’t!

However, my friend also shared that her mom, who is my age, said that my friend will be very thankful for those strong cheekbones when she gets older.

As someone who has definitely begun to lose the elasticity of youthful skin, I wholeheartedly agreed with her mom.

It also made me think of the importance of having good spiritual bones.

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Proberbs 31:30

Let’s all be really selfish, girls!

Curl up with a good book…to help your child with his homework.

Binge-watch Netflix…when you have loads of laundry to fold.

Talk for hours on the phone..while you are dusting.

Get out of the house…to pray for your kids’ school (check out Mom’s in Prayer for a group near you).

Make a lunch date with a friend…to cook meals for your families.

Shop ’til you drop…looking for jeans for your son who keeps outgrowing his clothes!

Tune into YouTube…to spend time watching Jimmy Fallon clips with your husband.

Bake a decadent dessert…for your daughter’s slumber party.

Go to the movies…to watch something your tween daughter is dying to see.

Surf the net…for the treatment of a mild concussion and good church youth groups in the area.

Hang out on Facebook…to laugh with those who laugh, weep with those who weep and hopefully spread a little joy.

27She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.

28Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her.

Proverbs 31

Finally, go out for seafood…with a friend who will laugh, cry and pray with you, so that you have the strength to do it all over again.
