...And does it ever cover grays!

Ok...when I hear that I only think of the L'oreal commercial with Andy McDowell looking like she stepped out a salon (all I can think is "what grays?" but that's the point right?)
Over the past several years I have had a steady influx of these little alien sprouts creeping up through the top of my head.
 *sigh*
I sigh because of a couple reasons.
One being that it means I'm getting older. And the other is, that while my husband mentions nothing to the effect that it must be done, I live in a world where beauty must be maintained in order to "keep him interested" and therefore, put pressure on myself to attain that. Where previously I've held firm to my belief that to be like Jamie Lee Curtis and take a stand on growing old naturally is an honorable and glorious pursuit, I find myself looking at the top of my head and the multiplying little weeds and think "a little color isn't so bad."
It makes me think of all the little "gray hairs" that spring up in our life -all the things that are wrong in our life-the bad relationships, the materialism, the focus on ourselves, the secret sins (insert yours here)- and how we try to cover these things with different shades of fake smiles and seemingly perfect lives, all the while fearing that our real colors will show through.
The thing is, those gray hairs in our lives ARE covered by something! Ephesians 2:8-9 reads "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." WE can not do anything to cover the sins and ugliness that can stem from us...but HE can! If we hand over those things that cause guilt and pain to God, He will cover them with the grace and love and restoration that only He can provide.
So while I may "cover the grays on my head," I aways remember that the gift that God has given covers so much more!
