Pretty On The Inside

It's sad that our society puts such an emphasis on good looks. Even at my son's preschool graduation, I felt like all the kids were being judged and rated by what they look like. How unfair and ridiculous.

And then the next morning after Dalanie's hair was fixed, I told her to go show Dad. He tells her how pretty she is and she loves hearing it. Well, this particular morning, he scooped her up and asked, "But are you pretty in here?" pointing to her heart.

How do we teach our children that? Because to me, that's the most important pretty, pretty on the inside.

I agree completely! If only our children could always remember WHO and WHAT they truly are. I wish soooo much they always KNEW they are children of Heavenly Father and that is sooooo much more than what they look like!
