Friday’s 40-Or-Less Photo Challenge (like the subtle alliteration there by the way - is THAT the reason you picked 40??) hosted by Robin at Pensieve.
Finding beauty not in outward adornment, but rather seeking the beauty of the inner self - the unfading and imperishable beauty of a quiet and gentle spirit, a spirit completely in love with Christ. Finding beauty not in acceptance and praise from the world, but instead as a child of the King. Finding beauty not in beautiful things, but discovering beauty in our beautiful God. Finding beauty not in self, but in God's creation and in others. This sort of beauty will never fade, never grow old, never wrinkle and gray. Quite the opposite, this beauty will grow with each passing day, as we grow in our walk with Him.

Ah ha! I LOVE what you did with this, Amber :). My favorites? Elation, Alive and Rejoicing. And pulchritudinous, how could I not include THAT??
Thanks for an original entry!

I’m SOOOooo slow…I missed your guess the first time I read. Geez.
And nope, that’s not it, either ;).

Not only was that a fabulous caption of the photo, I got my vocabulary lesson of the day. Who else never new that Pulchritudinous meant
Characterized by or having great physical beauty and appeal.
(come on now, I can’t be the ONLY person who has never heard that word before). (Wonder if it is ever in the National Spelling Bee? lol).
