Mary's Challenge

1) Becky Pierski - through her I realize that what I value most is not appearance at all because I love her so much, but if I were to get critical of her body, I would realize that she was a mess. Still, I admire her so much and want to be like her.

2) Sister Lynne Murphy is living the dream, to me she is teaching music and the gospel truths to children. I can imagine nothing greater! But, she hobles everywhere and loves her family dearly and talks about how much she loves them, but her husband has passed away. She finds greater purpose than i. The things we value typically.

My last person today is a girl I thought was like the most beautiful when I was 20 she was 17. Well, she was very heavy now, but it seemed as if she was unaware of it or that  it simply did not matter much. My daughter jokingly said, "man, that lady said, "I am so thankful" like 1,000 times." Not, "man that lady must've gained alot of weight and that's why her husband divorced her." Probably her weight never even crossed Mary's mind.

 It really would behoove me to think on it (weight) less as well. Much else matters more.

I just watched a video where a wo.an e plained how she was i  danger of being overweight according to the current BMI chart, but she was actually merely healthy. This video was regarding ideal body weight and it's determination and significance. I ought to post it here:

Mary's challenge

1) some girl I saw at a camp when I was 12 and wanted to be like her, I have no idea what she looked like and that frankly didn't matter to me at the time.

2)my Mom - she has always amazed me at how perfectly she does everything. I had to conclude early on in life that I would never ever ever measure up so trying to would likely make me co standby dissatisfied.  I do recall a mother's day when all my classmates were arguing about their mom being the prettiest and I thought, hmm, my mom isn't even slightly pretty. I still don't think that she is pretty, but I do think she is one of the most incredible women o. The face of the Earth, and I know 100 percent that my dad thinks that she is extremely pretty. Come to think of it, I have never asked Nick if he thought I was pretty. But, a bishop once had an interview with the two of us and he kept saying, just look at her, she is so beautiful, don't you see it? And he would not even look at me.... so, I guess in the bigger picture, being pretty doesn't make that bogus of a difference if it even makes a difference at all.

3)I am struggling to find someone, I remember seeing Lisa Wrigley in the temple last year and thi n king that she was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. And I do not even remember what it was about her, I only remembered her husband bearing his testimony about her one Sunday and that as they were doing sealings in the temple he looked at her and could not believed how beautiful of a woman she was and he barely believed his fortune of being sealed to her, and I remembered that and had to look at her instantly to see. I remember at lunch somewhere, I was talking about it with a group of woman, and they all remembered it to and Lisa told how much it embarrassed her. So, when I saw her working in the temple last December maybe I remembered that subconsciously, cause she was surely the most beautiful woman I have ever seen with her white hair and white clothes, I mean wow! I don't think that was any worldly standard of beauty either. It stems from her being g such a good and loving person.
