when do you think you'll get your first strand of "grey" hair? 30? 35? 40? 50?
i was thinking of maybe late 30's for myself. i've been faked out a few times where i thought a strand of hair was white because of the way it was reflecting the light or because it was so bleached. but tonight it was a different story. as i looked in the mirror...there it was. one solitary strand of white lying amidst a mass of black. there was no way to mistake it. twasn't the way the light was reflected. twasn't because of bleach. it was just nature taking its course at 20....well almost 21, but i won't go there. it looks exactly and feels like fishing string. i could use it to go fishing.
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
proverbs 31:30
i always added a lil twist to it that i heard in second year "beauty is fleeting, but it's good to have while i've still got it." i thought i would have it for at least 15-20 years, but it seems like i could be wrong. ah well a piece of humble pie never hurt anyone. always been too vain and proud about my looks anyways. it's a good reminder to really really start being serious about character development. that and hope this white strand is just an anomaly.
fishing anyone?
i've had grey hairs since i was 12 i think!! it means you're wise.
ReplyDeleteproverbs 16:31 says "grey hair is a crown of glory; it is attained by a righteous life." no word of a lie.
yup, i am pretty righteous! i have a head full of glory! how many 23 year olds can say THAT?!
;)
i have a couple white hairs growing out of a scar on the back of my head from a childhood injury. i think when i start going gray/white, i will blame it on many, many scars all over my head.
