What matters most is on the inside!

I had to laugh yesterday at the reaction the kids had to mommy putting on makeup...
I don't wear it very often and in the summer not at all.
They were up playing in the toy room and I decided I was going to play around with my makeup, wondering if still know how to apply it.Well, according to an 8 and 6 year old apparently not.
They had come downstairs and Braedyn said, "what did you do to your face?" and he was laughing and asked if that was makeup. I said, "yes, do I look funny or something?" he replied honestly with a "yes". Then Cooper came and was wanting to see what Braedyn was laughing at. Cooper started laughing in the way only Cooper can and said "You look funny mom." Braedyn asked if it would come off...probably because he didn't want me to embarrass him. Then Charlie came home and gave me a funny look too. He didn't have to say anything, he knew I knew what he was thinking. He hates when I wear any makeup. I guess I should take that as a compliment. Sometimes a girl wants to feel a little girly...I was able to wash it off before I went to bed!
I admit, I probably do not know the correct way to put on eye makeup and I was playing with a brow pencil. I guess maybe I need more practice or ask my friend who is a hairstylist/makeup artist how to correctly apply it. Better yet, lets just keep it in the drawer.  Too much work! People spend way to much time on looking "perfect". You will never be perfect! I say, Be Real.
This mom loves to throw her hair up in a pony with no make up! Yes, my hair is long enough now to put up and never going back to a pixie cut again.
I love the kids and my husband love that about their mom and wife because it doesn't matter what you look like to them they love you anyways. I like this bible verse because it really doesn't matter how you look on the outside, it's what is in your heart that matters. I hope they see that and understand that as they grow and that their mom lives out that example for them.

1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

I think people spend too much time worrying about what they look like on the outside. God focuses on what people look like on the inside. Do you put more time and effort into being pretty on the outside or the inside? There's nothing wrong with wanting to look pretty, but we need to make sure it's in balance.
