Better

Better than a beautiful bouquet of arranged roses
is a vase of wildflowers that costs nothing but one's time.

Better than an assorted box of rich, dark chocolates 
is a pan of savory brownies measured with kindness and sprinkled with love.

Better than a string of pricey, white pearls to adorn the neck
are affectionate kisses laced throughout the day that say, "you are valuable to me."

Better than a classy restaurant with fancy waiters and fine wine
is the cleaned up kitchen after dinner that lessens their daily burdens.

Better than a date to the movie theater with soda and popcorn
is a stroll down the road accompanied by talking, listening and laughter.

Better than a life of riches, fame and beauty
is a life filled with understanding and acceptance.

Proverbs 31:30
For favor is deceiful, and beauty is vain:
but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

Ooo! :) I really like this post! Did you make up the "better" sayings? I have to agree fully with you!
Better than many acquaintances is a precious friend who lives far away. :)

Better than many sand builders is a man who builds on a rock.:)

Better is a little with righteousness than great income with injustice. Proverbs 16:8 :)
