Peculiar People

• Feb. 21, 2008 - Another thought sparked by Captivating

I think I'm about halfway through the book now. I was reminded of a woman that I met a few months ago. I remember meeting her and immediately this not very lovely thought cropped up in my mind, "Whoa, where was she when pretty was being passed out." We're not talking elephant man here, but just a not terribly pleasing set of features when compared to conventional "beauties". Then I got to know her. I learned of her love for nature, her habits of helping her neighbors, her prayers for her friends and family, her frequent visits to shut-ins and the otherwise lonely folk in the area. Everytime I talked to her she became more and more beautiful. Now when I see her all I see is Christ shining through her sweet smile and the light in her eyes. I pray that one day I can be as lovely as my friend.
