One day my 12th graders began telling me that I was so beautiful. This is a ridiculous statement anyway, but even more so in a culture more beauty-obsessed than in the United States, so I responded,
"I know that's not true."
"No, no," they hurried to explain. "Not outwardly beautiful. Inwardly beautiful."
"That's more like it," I said.

LOL - somehow I missed that story. :) And the one about street market.... holy canoli.
In my opinion, someone acknowledging your beauty from the inside which comes from the joy of the Lord and the Holy Spirit, along with complimenting one's honesty and character, are the most honorable and Christ-like qualities on can have. They are right, too, RuthAnn. YOU ARE beautiful on the inside but to me, you are just as beautiful on the outside. Love and Miss you!
