Why I'm Beautiful

There are days where you don't feel attractive. This has been a week of that. Every time I look in the mirror I hear a negative comment pop in my head. And THAT is not acceptable, because I am a daughter of God and he made me beautiful. I don't need to talk myself down. What does that accomplish? Beauty is a divine quality that is bestowed to each of us, and I want to show that am I thankful for those beautiful qualities I do have.

Reasons I'm Beautiful
  • I make an effort to smile at others, especially those that look like they need it.
  • If someone does something mean or rude, I try not to take it as a personal insult or say "they're a jerk" but instead attribute it to outside forces. (He was probably running late. They may have just failed a really important test. She probably is really nervous about something going on in her family). We all have our less then shining moments after all.
  • My eyes change colors from blue to green to match what I wear.
  • I work hard and try to do so joyfully.
  • I love the Lord and I love the gospel.
  • My nose looks like a little button.
  • I truly care about others and choose not to hold grudges. 
  • I can make a baby laugh by making funny faces.
  • My mother is beautiful so I've got to get some of her looks.
  • I am able to see the good in every situation. 
To quote a girl from school, "I'm beautiful because I say so, not because someone told me."
And guess what? You're beautiful too.
