It made me so happy to see his smiling face, and thinking I could do the same for him, I sent him this:
I had just woken up, literally, stood up, put my glasses on (so I could see what I was doing in selfie-taking land) and snapped the picture.
Going about my day, I didn't think anything else of it. Until I was getting ready for my friend's birthday party. I was blow-drying my hair (rare occasion!) and actually putting some effort into my appearance, and 30 minutes later with much effort, I looked like this:
I actually like the first picture better. I've thought a lot since about why, since it doesn't really make sense. They are nearly identical. But the first one was in response to seeing my husband's handsome face. It was authentic and unplanned. It's not staged to prove a point. It doesn't annoy me that I spent 1/2 hour of my life to look the same as just rolling out of bed.
I don't get why people take so long to "get ready". Vanity is something I've never understood (though I probably could use a little smidge of it or at the very least care more about my health). I wish we all could see ourselves through the eyes of our loved ones, or better yet, see ourselves how God sees us. We wouldn't put on a stitch of make up or curl one more hair. It's not about our outside anyway. It's about our hearts.
What's in yours?
