Ugh. As I finish my shower and apply moisturizer I think...What's that commercial for the thing that makes you look younger? Maybe I should try one of those anti-whatevers because I'm already looking older than I feel.
And then I think about one of the sermons I listened to a couple weeks ago. The pastor said something about looking in the mirror and as I've gotten a little older I find that I just don't care to look in the mirror that much. I'd honestly much rather feel the way I feel and not be disappointed by realizing the truth.
And then I think about how easy it is to move through life and avoid spirituality.
Not that it's less pressure to come up with some sort of (ok. My daughter's potty chair just did it's little princess jingle. That was pretty funny. These musical kid things!?) Godly thought for the day but I feel really more at peace with having a tactic or a plan of attack for increasing my awareness and faith. But I guess that's what I am in life. A project manager :) whether I know it or not I'm always investigating and assessing and setting goals and checking my schedule. And that checking the schedule thing is key because I think that's maybe the checking the mirror thing! How have I progressed? Better or worse??
I, too, believe that the mirror holds another person hostage and doesn't reflect me. Obviously, the wrinkling, graying women in my mirror is not me - because I think and feel the way I did decades ago.
ReplyDeleteGramma Hennie says that she doesn't know the person in her mirror because she believes that she should still be twenty-something.
Sin and destruction ravage our human shells until we are but dust. Praise God that He has paid our debt and we will live for eternity with Him...
