Beautiful Women: Part II

We are created in God’s image.

 

We are unique for a reason.

We look different for a reason.

When you look in the mirror love yourself and see yourself with eternal eyes!

“As women of all ages, we walk in His light.  Our journey on the path is personal and well lit with the Savior’s love.” (1)

“Jesus called him to become a part of His work-the work of a disciple.  Our work is the   We are to ‘lay aside the things of [the] world,…cleave unto [our] covenants,’ and come unto Christ and follow Him.  That’s what disciples do!”(2)
same.

“I invite you to not only love each other more but love each other better.” As quoted(4)

 We are beautiful!

Beautiful Women: Part III

These girls their joy, happiness, innocence, and self-confidence of who they are and what they want, will soon enough be replaced with feelings doubt and inadequacy.

Can you imagine looking at these beautiful girls and knowing that society will not treasure who they will become as they grow older and wiser? 

It breaks my heart.

It makes me cry.

It saddens my soul.

Society and Hollywood will tell them in pictures, words, movies, songs and in social media that they aren’t this or that. . .

Why do we as women do that?

Why do we as women allow that to be done to our daughters?

Why do we do it to ourselves?

What is wrong with us?

We MUST embrace each of our seasons and we MUST teach our daughters to embrace each season, because we are destroying the hearts and thoughts of many beautiful women!

 

We are beautiful women 

with beautiful talents and a beautiful plan.

Beautiful Women: Part IV

The beautiful women in my life:

Noble

Grandmothers,

Mothers,

Daughters,

      Wives,

      Friends, 

      Examples,

      Daughters of God.

“Your feelings of kindness and forgiveness toward others come as your divine inheritance from Him as His daughter.  Each person you meet is His loved spiritual child“(1)

 
“..you can gain the same ability to enrich your marriage and the capacity to raise noble children by following the examples of great women.” (1)





“We have been blessed with tender and charitable natures which enable us to render Christlike love and service to those around us.”(3)



 

 “To be sisters implies that there is an unbreakable bond between us.  Sisters take care of each other, watch out for each other, comfort each other, and are there for each other through thick and thin.”(2)

Beautiful Women: Part V

Here is what I have learned:

Love the season I am in!

Accept the season I am in!

I am trying:

To love who I am on the outside!

To accept who I am on the outside!

My challenge:

Love all women for the season they are in!

Accept all women for the season they are in!
