Pretty in Pink

My pretty, little Rebecca, 1986

"Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." (Prov. 31:30)

           I remember hurrying to have this portrait made before Rebecca lost her first loose tooth. The sands of time have truly slipped quickly through the hourglass, and my little girl is now the mother of three - who, by the way, are the smartest, cutest, grandest (is that a word?) kids in the whole wide world - according to their memaw! Rebecca is a charming and very beautiful woman, but her most attractive feature, by far, is her love for Jesus.
           A lawyer once asked Jesus, "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" And Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and foremost commandment" (Matt. 22:35-38).
          Can others watch your life and clearly see that you love Jesus?
