tall, dark and handsome

Yesterday something happened at work. Wow! Imagine that! One of the assistants came back with some flowers and said, " someone tall, dark and handsome guy just brought you these." Then she hurried off to get a vase for the beautiful bouquet of roses and carnations. You can believe that my heart skipped some beats, but I was very satisfied when I read the writing on the note and they were from my friend Elizabeth. That really made my day. Thanks Elizabeth.



Now I have to make some comments about this phrase that has been used for years... "tall, dark and handsome". Whoever came up with that? It's all in the eyes of the beholder. Even more, it's in the way hearts blend. I would like to put a new bend on the phrase "tall, dark and handsome".

Tall- Does he stand tall for Jesus? Does he trust God?

Dark- Is he aware of the dark battle of the enemy and fighting it with the light in God's word?

Handsome- Does he know his position in Christ? Does he realize that makes him attractive and creates security?

That's what really matters to me.

The flowers were well deserved! You are such a special friend to me. I'm so thankful that God brought this friendship together, 2 times! Satan thought he had the victory but God is love and love is what broke that barrier!

One more commentario...praise God for those "tall, dark & handsome" men out there! Oh to have the mind of a man! I'm glad I'm a woman! So should the men have a dreamy tri-adjective phrase for women? What should it be?
Average, Innocent & Modest?
Average - women come in all shapes and sizes, each with their own special gift(s) & a heart full of love to share

Innocent - guiltless, spotless & stainless, inoffensive & harmless just as God's creatures were intended to be

Modest - women are not "eye-candy", and not to fulfill the lust of the eyes for beauty is in the eye of the beholder
There you go! Publish that one guys!! That's my 2.5 cents for the day! I'm out! Fo-shizzle!

hey... what a thoughtful message. BTW... We were cleaning the library at the church and found an OLD bulletin. I didn't know you guys used to be at the Newark, Ohio church! That's where I taught last year. We are having a church rededication Oct. 6. We have renovated the entire church. It's beautiful. Can you let your parents know? Thanks!
