30. Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman who feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
Joy and beauty on the outside are great. Who doesn't like looking at things that are beautiful and/or make us smile? Living joy and living beauty are on the inside of each one of us. It's the seed that slumbers through the winters of life and bursts out of us in the spring and flowers in the summertimes.
SO, send out some joy to the universe, or your brother and sister A-to-Z-ers. Honor us with what brings you joy in the comments!
