This definitely cleared some things up for me. This explains I think why naturalistic makeup always felt like it was fine but stuff like contouring always just wound me up, yeah it's dishonest.

•THE WORLD IS
CHANGED BY YOUR EXAMPLE
NOT BY YOUR OPINION•

"In erotic or selfish love, the burdens of others are regarded as impeding one's own happiness. But in Christian love, burdens become opportunities to serve. That is why the symbol of Christian love is not the circle circumscribed by self, but the cross with its arms outstretched to embrace all humanity within its grasp."

~ Ven. Fulton Sheen

This is the tragic reality of a world where people exist to satisfy their urges and feelings. In a world where people are motivated by duty they marry for their family and their people according to what is best and the paradox is that this actually makes them happier. Husband and Wife are job titles and if people treat them as vocations they will make themselves and their partners happier for it.

It’s not pleasure but duty which brings true happiness and contentment.

“Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Good line for the big families out there

"And, in regard to children, great care should be taken not to place them in workshops and factories until their bodies and minds are sufficiently developed. For, just as very rough weather destroys the buds of spring, so does too early an experience of life's hard toil blight the young promise of a child's faculties, and render any true education impossible. Women, again, are not suited for certain occupations; a woman is by nature fitted for home-work, and it is that which is best adapted at once to preserve her modesty and to promote the good bringing up of children and the well-being of the family."- Rerum Novarum

Someone posted this beautiful gem in which I ought to share!

Oh the joy of being a woman
I'll trade "goddess divinity" for Godly femininity.
I'll trade bold, provocative clothes for pure royal robes.
I'll trade "on my own" for guidance and direction.
I'll trade independence for provision and protection.
My value and strength are not increased by devaluing men.
Women were made to be what men are not, and men are made to be what women are not. There is no shame in being feminine. The world is in need of feminine women who run after the heart of God. It is these women who impact generation after generation.

Brothers mum starts chemotherapy tomorrow. Please pray it will be effective at destroying the cancer but may have no side effects or complications.

If you do not plan a halal family night are you even a good parent???

Please pray for a man at work today who was cheated on by his wife.

(He doesn't know that we're praying for him, we do small acts of evil)

(HE DOESNT KNOW WE ARE PRAYING FOR HIM. APOLOGIES FOR BAD ENGLISH.)
