Last Sunday I got better acquainted with a girl from my ward named Carla. She is a great girl that lived in South Africa when she was young and the moved to Louisiana. I got her number and then asked if she wanted to go to the CES devotional together later that day which she said yes too. We had a good time and then later that night we went to a game night. That following Tuesday she sent me a text and said "Hi. I hope you have a good day". The message was short and sweet but it these small demonstrations of Christ-like attributes that really make such a big difference to me.
This week I have better realized that the world is so focused on the exterior characteristics when courting and dating but they rarely focus on the things that are most important such as: Will she be a good mother for my children, does she love the Gospel and attend all of her church meetings, etc. These are things I have learned in my "dating experience" I have begun to truly value.
Beauty can attract the eye but it is mutual love and respect that will sustain a relationship for eternity.
