"I've only got one thing to wear and it's got Made by Jesus on the tag and the purity of Jesus lies over a heart and His transparency burns the cataracts off the soul." - Ann Voskamp
Humbled by this this morning and not having a lot of words about it, but wanted to share it none the less.

The Twits
"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year the face gets uglier and ugllier until it gets so ugly you can hardly bear to look at it.
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely." -Roald Dahl
Eli, Jonah and I just finished reading "The Twits" by Roald Dahl. I have a great affection for his writing as it is British and he doesn't candy coat things. He writes children's books but people die and he uses large words and the boys still sit captivated and quiet as I read. Any way I liked this quote from the book and thought it was poignant as I am working on living a life of gratitude.
Side note: Eli is playing with a tonka rescue helicopter in the back ground and singing the MASH theme song. What well rounded children I will have...
