Three generations: Me, Mom, and Holly. Out for a sunset cruise.


I got a kick out of reading Proverbs 16:31 today.  It says, “Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained by living a godly life.”  Ha! I have PLENTY of gray hair, but that’s one crown I don’t care to show off yet at the age of forty-three.
My mom had four children.  We are all married and have given her an abundance of grandchildren.  Plus, when she remarried she gained four more children and their “better-halves” plus more grand children also.  (Good thing her and my step-dad, Carol, have a large room for family gatherings.)  Well, we are all in agreement (I think) that even at her age (shhh, not allowed to tell a woman’s age without permission) she does not need to stop coloring her hair.  If she did, her whole head would most likely be gray.  Wow! What a crown she would have to show.
Has my mother lived a godly life? Absolutely!  I adore and appreciate her more than words can say.  But, and I ready for her to display her crown of “living a godly life”? Nah.
This reminds me, I need to go call and make my hair appointment to hide my grays.
I hope you do have a beautiful crown of gray on your head.  Maybe just not show it yet.
Blessings to you!
