A Little Bit of Lace~linkup

     

 "Shining flowers"

         

The sweetest bloom of youth is but a pretty passing phase,

Who's loveliness attracts us and holds us in it's gaze.

While the world would have us fretful of losing beauty's youth

The word of God assures us of this eternal truth:

Tis better to be blessed with a quiet and gentle soul

Than all external features that an empty world extols.

Tis better to have peace of heart than idealistic rage.

For wisdom tempers youth's excess, and deepens as we age.

The passion and the beauty that brings us lasting grace

Is not found in cosmetics or life's frenetic pace.

The fount of youth and beauty with it's passion and ideals

Is found by all who seek it when the ego humbly kneels

And by giving up the quest to retain mere outward show,

Discovers deep within the heart, the fire of God aglow.

Who's ember rays of beauty fill the soul with burning grace

To shine forever lovely on the christians woman's face.

Dear friends,

Are you wearing your lace today?

Thank you, to those lovely ladies who joined me last week for my first linkup.

 It was a blessing to read recipes, hear about craft plans, have a laugh and be spiritually fed by God's Word..

I am so encouraged to have you sharing your wonderful posts with us!

I'd be honoured if you would join me again today for
A Little Bit Of Lace.
Just to remind you..this is a weekly meme based on Philippians 4:8

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."


I am looking for posts that encourage us as godly christian women to embrace our vocation with joy and promote femininity and homemaking skills.
I have paraphrased the description of the virtues I want to see displayed in this happy venture as follows:

L...Lovely  A...Admirable  C...Cheerful  E...Encouraging
