The word ugly was first used in popular English Literature sometime before 1050. My grandmother used the word all the time when she caught me being too mean to people. Standing at about five feet tall, she walked up to me and said with a small, shaky voice,"now baby, don’t be ugly.”
Webster's dictionary defines ugly as something that is contrary to beauty or offensive to sight.
UGLY?
Do you
remember a time when someone called you ugly? This is a word that is commonly
used to describe feelings of disgust over a particular person place or thing.
We all have experiences when it comes to how we look at ourselves and others. I can
speak from personal experience about this. I have two big ears and one crooked nose and
this can add up to one big zero for self-confidence. This was a challenge for me growing up, especially when trying to get
through high school. So it was during this time I began to ask
myself a question. Was I wonderfully and fearfully created in the image of God?
Now I had turned myself into an ugly creation who doubted the design of a loving creator.
