I am going to go old gracefully, even if it means that I have more gray hairs than my mom, which I do. As my sister put it so eloquently, “You and mom both have salt and pepper hair. Mom’s is just low sodium.”
Even with one of my best friends being a hairdresser, who I know would do a great job, I refuse to be a slave to the dye. She is always begging me to let her color my hair. And no matter how many times she makes the recommendation, it is not happening.
It’s not that I fear someone saying to me, “Your roots are showing,” because I’d take it as a compliment.
Yes, you read that right. “Your roots are showing” can be a compliment—spiritually speaking.
During the difficult times of life, does the wind get knocked out of you or are you grounded in your faith? Do the storms of life blow you over or are you rooted in the Word?
Take a moment today to check your roots. Spend some time in the Word and in prayer. The next time I see you, I’d love to be able to wink and say, “Your roots are showing.”
