L.A.C.E.~the simple woman's beauty

The beauty of a simple woman outlasts the 'diva's' days.

For in her plain simplicity is where her beauty lays.

She need not spend a fortune on cosmetics or her dress

She need not go to 'experts' to enhance her prettiness.
She seeks no costly gold and jewels to weigh her fingers down

Her truest treasure always is to seek a godly crown

Through humble worship of her Lord and  kindly service given;

For these are gems that sparkle brightest under God's pure Heaven.
Her heart is quiet and content with all her lot in life

Whether single, widow, mother or devoted wife.

In difficult and trying days she simply carries on

Knowing that in times like these great victories are won.
By placing all her trust and faith in what her God will do

To send the help He knows she needs to safely bring her through. 

The softness of her skin and hair is not her prime concern.

For larger, fuller lips or lash she simply does not yearn.
Her eyes are rarely on herself to fuss and primp and preen.

She looks into the heart and soul that's hidden and unseen.

For it's there she spends her fortune - simply all she can afford

To make the sweetest haven for her loved ones and her Lord.

And deep inside the chambers of this royal temple lays

The sum of all the wealth and beauty gathered through her days.

And when her life is over and before her God she stands

A shining robe He'll give her wrought with jewels by His own hand.

For every humble thought and action when she lived on earth

Will be transformed like coal to diamond, to show her soul's true worth.

Then all her plain simplicity and trust and faith will show

A beauty and a loveliness that 'divas' never know.

Hello dear friends,

A warm Wednesday welcome to L.A.C.E.
Just a reminder of the rules for this 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." Phil 4:8
