Words of Wisom: Audrey Hepburn

Words of Wisdom

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
 The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives and the passion that she shows.

The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

Eye Opening.

Imagine, being 17 years old and faced with decision: Should I choose abortion or adoption? Some would say, "Choose abortion, it solves the problem quickly and quietly...no one has to know." Others would say, "Well, keep the baby." And then others would say, "Put the baby up for adoption." Tonight, I had a girl share her story with me. A faithless relationship, not on her part, ended up in an undesired pregnancy. It wasn't that the baby would have been un-welcomed, it wasn't financially sound. This girl had made up her mind that she was going to get an abortion, but she knew something didn't feel right, so she scratched those plans and chose adoption. Keep in mind she did this all between the age of 17 and 18. She got in touch with an adoption agency and they found a husband an wife, who could not have children. The wife was with this girl every step of the way. When it was time for the baby to be born, the wife was with this girl, crying and rooting her on. This girl chose life instead of death. While this girl told me her story, my heart went out to her, but not only her..to every single girl that is facing a situation like hers. Never in a million years could I imagine having to face the decision of giving the child I carried for nine months to another person. This girl, to me is a hero. Instead of fulfilling her own selfish desire to rid herself of the unwanted presence, she choose life. She has peace, because she knows that she choose the right decision. She choose life for the family that received their precious bundle of joy. This girl is my hero.
