WORD ON WEDNESDAY For A Bad Hair Day!

Beloved, Have you ever had a bad hair day to where it didn't matter what you did, the hair was doin' it's own thing and told you to get out of town??? Now you know lying is a sin and 1 John 1: 8 of the Bible tells us that 'If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.'

Now the good part...1 John 1:9 goes on to say, 'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.'

So it would be alright to admit to the Bad Hair Days and be done with it.



If all else fails, wearing one of these attractive bonnets that swallows up your face and covers your unmanageable hair would be a workable solution! I'm not poking fun at anyone that wears these bonnets already because they want to.

This bonnet was bought years ago and I wore it to the Elementary School where I worked as a Para. We were reading Little House On The Prairie Books and I couldn't resist wearing this bonnet to school to be in character as I read the students stories. They weren't anymore impressed with this as when I went to the school Halloween Party dressed as a grocery store check-out clerk wearing a red Dillions's apron. I tried!

Recently I've had more than my share of Bad Hair Days. If you were to knock on my door on one of these days, you'd find me wearing this bonnet. Ummm...I'm fibbing. I will meditate upon 1 John 1:8 and 9. AND that's no lie.

My prayer today is that if we do have a bad hair day, that we keep a sense of humor and admit oh well, it happens to the best of us.

Dear Ones, I'm so pleased that you have visited my blog and have left a kind comment. Have you ever wore a bonnet like the one in this post? I'm so thankful that I can wear my hair up, down and all around and the lord still loves me and knows the number of hairs on my head. We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Blessings to you,
~D~

I wore a bonnet like that one time. When I was about 20, we had a celebration in my home town, where Abraham Lincoln's mother and father were married. It was in a parade to the Lincoln Park and the Modecai Lincoln home with an enactment of the Lincoln wedding. Oh what fun a community celebration is. With a big picnic, etc. Lincoln Park in Washington County, Kentucky is a big tourist stop. Blessings

Hello my funny friend!
You always give my heart a chuckle! ((smile))

No, I have never worn a bonnet like that,...but I loved Little House,...and I think they are cute!

Yes, I have had bad hair days! But I have worn my hair short for so many years and it is much more manageable that way.

When my hair was long, it frizzed and curled on humid days because I have natural curl.

In your comment to me today, you said I have a cute nose!!! Oh my goodness, I don't think anyone has EVER said that to me. My nose has a "bump" on it, and I have been teased all of my life about my nose! "Hey hump nose",... etc. ((smile)) So, it was nice to have a positive remark like that!

I have come to terms with it and accept the nose God gave me however! ((smile))

You are so much fun!

Oh,...and yes,...Kansas has such a beauty of it's own. Where you live in the Flint Hills,...it is especially beautiful!

Love ya,
Linda

Love the Bonnet! Suppose they would laugh me out of town if I wore one to cover up the "no hair" day I'm having?

I know this isn't in your blog, but the Meatloaves you and Beauty made last night were Marvelous! Hope you win the contest so you can blog about it! You have my vote.

Hope you have a blessed day!

Love you,

Rg

PS You have beautiful hair, no need to hide it under a bonnet!

Sarah said...

First, I LOVE your bonnet!

I know all to well about the swallows-up-your-face thing too. I find it difficult to keep them on completely since I can only see straight ahead while wearing one!

I have bad hair days quite often. I have somewhat frizzy hair, which has always been a grief to me! :) Thanks for the reminder that the Lord has made us exactly how He wanted us, frizzy hair and all! :)

Hi Deanna, I was trying to send a comment when the dog started barking....someone at the door. Oh life!!!!

Thanks for your visits to Bella Vista and for following. You are always welcome and I am so happy to meet ya.

Hugs, Barb

I haven't worn a bonnet like that but I have bad hair days all the time, like almost everyday!! When I do, I put my hair in a scrunchie and that is where it sits.....;-)
Hugs, Jennifer

Torie said...

Cute...that would come in handy for the blazing sun as well!

Have you tried the bonnet thing to spice up your marriage yet???

LOL

Hi Deanna,

I think we all have bad hair days when you would just like to curl back into bed.

I do not have a bonnet but often wear a beret or a big sunhat if my hair is not looking good.

Hugs

This is a wonderful post! I do have bad hair days and I often wear hats (of course I frequently wear hats on good hair days too:).

Blessings,

The bonnet is too cute! You should have loaned it to me yesterday. Did you see my hair yesterday and it inspired you to write this post?! LOL!
BTW.....Did I mention that I had a BAD hair day yesterday?!
Thanks for the laugh :)

Mimi- my hair is naturally curly and I'm still trying to figure out how to style it. I'd like to see how it behaves in Florida. This is a state I haven't been to.

Queen- This celebration would have been so much fun to be a part of. You had to have been a beauty.

Linda- My hair has been short, long, in between, short, long, etc. So glad we have hair. As for your nose, it looks cute to me and I'm sorry others made fun of you. What did they nose?

Artist- Plezzz no need for a bonnet for you. The color would flatter your eyes, but the floppy material would be aweful. So glad you can wear a regular cowboy hat if you so do choose. I'm not into cross dressing!

Sarah Jane- It is wonderful to know others with naturally curly hair and see how they style it. You wear yours so nicely.

Barb- Nice to visit with you. Glad you said hello. Life does get pretty hectic at times.

Jennifer- Srunchies are good! I swirl my hair up and clip it with a funky comb thingymabobber.

Torie- I laughed out loud about this...you are so funny. No I've not worn the bonnet to spice up my marriage, but I can see how this could be very mysterious!!!!!

Carolyn- You probably look gorgeous in these! I've not worn a straw hat, but think women can look charming in certain styles. Might have to get one.

Kim- You look sweet in your hats! The long dresses are pretty on you as well. I'd love to see you be in character!

Sandra- You look cute in hats, I've seen a post of yours on the farm and you looked right at home!
**********************************

It's been absolutely fun to read what you've said!
We might all want to start wearing these bonnets and start a bonnet revival...

I could use that hat! It not only takes care of the bad hair but also takes care of a no makeup day! Most of my bad hair days get a ball cap!

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
