Joining in with Lisa Jo Baker for Five Minute Friday where you write unedited for five minutes straight. Here goes:
Beautiful.
Everything is is society today is beautiful, or cute, or awesome. Nothing is just average, or, heaven forbid, ugly. I hate to be a curmudgeon, but not everything is beautiful. I'm just as guilty as anyone. I've yet to find a way to be honest and kind at the same time. How do you do that? I have a friend who speaks the unexpurgated truth, without meanness. She just gives you her opinion, even if it's negative. I envy her courage and honesty.
The word beautiful is so over-used, it's lost its meaning. I must find a way to restore the beauty to the word beauty. How are you doing that?

Hi Nancy. Thanks for writing today. I'll be thinking about this as I enter my day tomorrow. For now, bed. And I do know people like your friend and I also envy their ability to be so genuine. It is something I aspire to. Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteHonesty and truth should always be laced with love! I cannot do that, but our Lord living in us can. So I ask Him to speak His words through me.
