Gray-headedness is a crown of beauty when
it is found in the way of righteousness.

—Prov. 16:31.


It is appropriate to be concerned about our appearance. But we need not try too hard
to erase all signs of aging. Those signs can be evidence of maturity, dignity,
and inner beauty. For example, note the words of today’s text.


That is how Jehovah views us, and we should try to view ourselves as he does.


(1 Pet. 3:3, 4)


Is it wise, therefore, to risk unnecessary and potentially dangerous surgical procedures
or medical treatments merely to make oneself more physically attractive?

“The joy of Jehovahâ€￾ is a source of true beauty that ra-
diates from the inside, regardless of age or health. (Neh. 8:10) Only
in the new world will we be completely healthy and regain youthful beauty.


(Job 33:25; Isa. 33:24)


Until then, showing practical wisdom and faith will help us to stay
close to Jehovah while we make the best of our present circumstances.


—1 Tim. 4:8.

I intend to keep dying me hair a bit longer ...

 

This is the explanation that I give to my family:

I use foundation make-up as "putty" to fill in the wrinkles on my "middle-aged" face mask. The "middle-aged" face mask stays in a jar on a bedside table and I put it on before I go out. (Just kidding!)
