I'm Invisible
>>
>> It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the
>> way one of the kids will walk into the room while I'm on the phone and
>> ask to be taken to the store. Inside I'm thinking, 'Can't
>> you see I'm on the phone?' Obviously not; no one can see if I'm on the
>> phone, or cooking, or sweeping the floor, or even standing on my head
>> in the corner, because no one can see me at all. I'm invisible; "The
>> Invisible Mom."
>>
>> Some days I am only a pair of hands, nothing more: Can you fix this?
>> Can you tie this? Can you open this?
>>
>> Some days I'm not a pair of hands; I'm not even a human being. I'm a
>> clock to ask, 'What time is it?' I'm a satellite guide to answer, 'What
>> number is the Disney Channel?' I'm a car to order, 'Right around 5:30,
>> please.'
>>
>> I was certain that these were the hands that once held books and the
>> eyes that studied history and the mind that graduated summa cum laude -
>> but now they had disappeared into the peanut butter, never to be seen
>> again. She's going, she's going, and she's gone!
>> One night, a group of us were having dinner, celebrating the return of
>> a friend from England. Janice had just gotten back from a fabulous
>> trip, and she was going on and on about the hotel she stayed in. I was
>> sitting there, looking around at the others all put together so well.
>> It was hard not to compare and feel sorry for myself as I looked down
>> at my out-of-style dress; it was the only
>> thing I could find that was clean. My unwashed hair was pulled up in a
>> hair clip and I was afraid I could actually smell peanut butter in it.
>> I was feeling pretty pathetic, when Janice turned to me with a
>> beautifully wrapped package, and said, 'I brought you
>> this.' It was a book on the great cathedrals of Europe. I wasn't exactly
>> sure why she'd given it to me until I read her inscription:
>> 'To Charlotte, with admiration for the greatness of what you are
>> building when no one sees.'
>>
>> In the days ahead I would read - no, devour - the book. And I would
>> discover what would become for me, four life-changing truths, after
>> which I could pattern my work: No one can say who built the great
>> cathedrals - we have no record of their names. These builders gave
>> their whole lives for a work they would never see finished. They made
>> great sacrifices and expected no credit. The
>> passion of their building was fueled by their faith that the eyes of
>> God saw everything.
>>
>> A legendary story in the book told of a rich man who came to visit the
>> cathedral while it was being built, and he saw a workman carving a tiny
>> bird on the inside of a beam. He was puzzled and asked the man, 'Why
>> are you spending so much time carving that bird into a beam that will
>> be covered by the roof? No one will ever see it.'
>> And the workman replied, 'Because God sees.'
>>
>> I closed the book, feeling the missing piece fall into place. It was
>> almost as if I heard God whispering to me, 'I see you, Charlotte. I see
>> the sacrifices you make every day, even when no one around you does. No
>> act of kindness you've done, no sequin you've sewn on, no cupcake
>> you've baked, is too small for me to notice and smile over. You are
>> building a great cathedral, but you can't see right now what it will
>> become.'
>>
>> At times, my invisibility feels like an affliction. But it is not a
>> disease that is erasing my life. It is the cure for the disease of my
>> own self-centeredness. It is the antidote to my strong, stubborn pride.
>> I keep the right perspective when I see myself as a great builder. As
>> one of the people who show up at a job that they will
>> never see finished, to work on something that their name will never be
>> on. The writer of the book went so far as to say that no cathedrals
>> could ever be built in our lifetime because there
>> are so few people willing to sacrifice to that degree.
>>
>> When I really think about it, I don't want my son to tell the friend
>> he's bringing home from college for Thanksgiving, 'My Mom gets up at 4 in
>> the morning and bakes homemade pies, and then she hand bastes a turkey
>> for three hours and presses all the linens for the
>> table.' That would mean I'd built a shrine or a monument to myself. I
>> just want him to want to come home. And then, if there is anything more
>> to say to his friend, to add, 'you're gonna love it there.'
>>
>> As mothers, we are building great cathedrals. We cannot be seen if
>> we're doing it right. And one day, it is very possible that the world
>> will marvel, not only at what we have built, but at the beauty that
>> has been added to the world by the sacrifices of invisible
>> women. Great Job, MOM!
>>
>> Share this with all the Invisible Moms you know..... I just did. The
>> Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not
>> protect you.

What is True Beauty?

As I lay upon my pillow pondering the true beauty of a person.....and what our complicated and yet simple world  preceives beauty as.

Is it the latest fashion and a beautiful face? Or perhaps the amount of worldly possesions you may aquire through your lifetime.  Is this what we are teaching our kids today?

Do we really gaze in the eyes of the faces around us seeing their true beauty that dwells within?  Do we see the blessings and joys each person has to offer?  What do we see ?

A simple smile can show your true beauty.. or is it shallow and hiding our true soul within us? A mask?  An illusion?  Does our world today expect this illusion?  How can we grasp upon our true beauty?  

As you gaze upon the mirror today what do you see?  Is there a judging  thought?  Are you trying to hold on to what the world sees as beautiful?  Do you have many masks?  Which mask are you fashioning today?  Shed your mask! What do you see? Is it true beauty?

If we truly grasp on the concept of who made us beautiful and what beauty is?  Then and only then, we would find ourselves! We would hold on to our beauty as if it is a true gift! We would not sell or choose the worlds shallow ideals of beauty!

We finally would be able to find the beauty in everyone and everything!  So what is beauty?  How can I possibly obtain beauty?  Well that is a question you can only answer? You must search your soul!   Find the beauty within.........hold on to it, as tight as you possibly can! Because no other has the same beauty! You are a gift, you were created with great thought and love!  YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL IN HIS EYES!

Closing my eyes, I fall asleep with these thoughts and ideas pondering in my slumber!  Thanking God for His gifts, that He has bestowed upon me!  May I truly find my true beauty within!
