Too Beautiful for Words

Goood morning!! "You not ugly. You the grace of God if us ever see it..." You don't believe me? Well, let me help you out a bit.  C'mon and sit with me for a while while I paint you as a masterpiece that nobody can kill, steal, or destroy! But first, let me get you dressed and ready. Get your feet shod with the Preparation of Peace Your Sword of the Spirit and Shield of Faith Your Breastplate of Righteousness and don't forget the Helmet of Salvation.  Lastly, put on your perfume of "Self love." Oh, and put a little "Grace" on your lips! We don't want dry, cracked lips around here saying nasty and negative things! Now, you're ready for the battle! Who are we fighting?

I really hope that you are enjoying these posts as much as I am!  I had plans of putting out a different post this month, but this one ATE and left no crumbs (as the young people say) when I went back and read it!
