Beautiful.

I was just cleaning out some e-mails and came across this from a friend of mine.

Beauty Tips
by Audrey Hepburn

For attractive lips,
Speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his fingers through it once a day.

For poise,
Walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored,
renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed.
Never throw out anybody.

Remember: if you ever need a helping hand,
you’ll find One at the end of your arm.
As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands.
One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.


Love,
Angie

I like how this poem reorients our concern for physical appearance or comfort to spiritual motives. Mind if I use this? wb

What is the best job I've ever had?
