Addendum - 1 Peter 3-4 (NLT)
"You should
be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a
gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God."
A beautiful spirit is reflected in the face and the whole person.

I watched one of the current affairs programs after the news and heard about a preschool child's parents being told their child is obese. The child did not appear to be so at all.
The concern is, what messages are being sent to that child, if at age four judgements are being made on how she looks.
Recently I read an article regarding the world's obsession with how people look and the danger of judging a person's worth depending on outward appearance.
I came across the following Beauty Tips which are far more important to instil in our children.
* For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
* For beautiful eyes, look for the good in other people.
* To lose weight, let go of stress, hatred, anger, discontentment and the need
to control others.
* To improve your ears, listen to the Word of God.
* Rather than focus on the thorns of life (or the "imperfections" of one's body),
smell the roses and count your blessings, giving thanks for each one of them.
* For poise, walk with knowledge and self-esteem.
* To strengthn you arms, hug at least 3 people a day; touch someone with your
love.
* To strengthn your heart, forgive yourself and others.
* Don't worry and hurry so much. Rather than walk this earth lightly, walk firmly
with determination and leave your mark.
* For the ultimate in business, casual or evening attire, put on the robe of Christ;
it fits like a glove but allows room for growth. Best of all, it never goes out of style
and is appropriate for any occasion.
* Doing these things on a daily basis will certainly make you a more beautiful person.
