In my case...it is time to take care of those grey hairs that are popping up all over my head! I believe it was Clairol that had that cute little jingle a few years back "I'm gonna wash that grey right out of my hair!" In my case...let's just take a big dunk!
I was reminding my daughter, who is 13 now about our hair appointments. She was getting a trim and I, a total makeover or what we call a "color" or "highlights". My smart, precious 'lil angel had this to say....
13 YEAR OLD (how did she get so smart!) DAUGHTER: "Mom, why do you color your hair? Why don't you just let your hair be grey. Just be who you are."
THE OLD (and greying) MOTHER: "Because I don't like my hair grey, I think it makes me look old."
13 YEAR OLD (should I ground her?) DAUGHTER: "I'm just saying, be what God made you...how can you try to be something you're not, you ARE old you know Mom."
hmmmm....she has a point here. I mean about trying to be something I'm not.
(did you think I was referring to the "you are old Mom" statement...PLEASE!!)
- How many times DO WE put a mask on as Christians? We say one thing, but do another.
- How many times DO WE act one way on Sunday, all spiritual and together! But on Monday morning, we do as the world does...cuss, gamble, gossip, cheat, lie, etc.
- How many times do we put "color" on to make us look better... But inside we are dark and wilting.
I believe if Clairol and God got together, they would have a new promotional jingle... "He's gonna wash that junk right out of your life!"
ISN'T IT TIME THAT WE "DIE" IT?
Apostle Paul gives us a reminder how often we should do this.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:31 "I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I DIE daily."
Lord help us to die to those things that keep us from being all that we can be in Jesus Christ!
(Anna...I'm still gonna color my hair, I think God would want me to be as beautiful as you! You'll understand in a few years...I started greying in my 20's ~ so that's just a few more years for you! I have one word for you to remember...CLAIROL!)
AND THAT'S A PIECE OF MY HEART TODAY;

Laurie,
You are definately NOT OLD. (we are close in age I think) & even w/gray hair I only saw a beatiful woman who blesses me with her words.
Love lady!
Sherry M.
excellent piece of advice. a lot of times it is better to listen than to speak. We will be surprise of the outcome.
