Have you ever stopped and thought about why people get gray hair? I never really gave it any thought until one day my hair dresser commented that she really didn't think the blond highlights were cutting it anymore. What in the world? At the time I wasn't even 40 yet. How could this be? Gray hair looks great on old people, but in my mind I was still too young to be turning gray. I don't know why I was so shocked, because I am my father's daughter, and he has been gray for a while. but I have to confess, I was not too pleased with this situation! I want to be a person who ages gracefully, so I did the only sensible thing to do. First I experimented with different colors, but finally I decided to go with my" natural" hair color, which is............brown! Did you know the bible speaks about gray hair? I am not even kidding. Check this out:
Gray hair is a crown of splendor, it is attained by a righteous life. -Proverbs 16:31
The glory of young men is their strength, gray hair the splendor of the old. -Proverbs 20:29
Wow! That's pretty cool. My gray hair is a crown of splendor. I don't really know what a crown of splendor is, so I think I will just continue with my "natural" hair color until I am old enough to figure it out!
