This is a wonderful reminder to Old Mom Me that I shouldn’t worry so much about what I look like. When one is concerned with being like Him, there isn’t time to worry about the world’s standards of beauty. Taking care of myself and feeling attractive, specifically to my husband, are very important, but not being model thin and having the best hair and expensive clothes.

This is such a great video and I will definitely show it to my two girls. That is exactly what I hope they will strive for as they grow and mature.

I’m going to send my girls that video — and their Young Women leaders, too!
So much in the world today says, “Here’s the ‘standard’ — you need to look like, act like, be like her.”
But you’re right — we need to focus on becoming like Him!
Truly, it’s easier since the world’s “standards” are driven by fickle trends and computer creations not reality. God’s standards bless and protect us, and help us as we strive to stand “steadfast and immovable.”
Thanks so much for the great reminder!

What a great video and a great quote. We sometimes forget that we are setting the example for our daughters. I worry about the things my daughter sees in the world too – and I worry about my son’s as well.
