Years ago John and I moved a desk down the hall in our house in Logan. We moved a mirror off the wall so we didn’t bump it with the desk as we moved it down the hall. (should I tell you that getting it out of the room was like one of those puzzles you manipulate it was really funny and then he figured it out. But that was after we had laughed some about being trapped in the room)
Anyway, when I put the mirror back on the wall I started to think about where that mirror had been. It was one my grandmother had, my mom, and now us. It is not that special, went over a bureau but I thought of all the people who had seen their reflection there. Many, countless really, and I wondered if it would reflect longer what people wanted to see. Who had looked there and liked the way their hair was combed, or checked their tie, or tried to figure out what was good about in a dress?
In the movie by Disney, there is a mirror that tells the viewer who is the fairest of them all. . It can’t lie.
When we see ourselves in the mirror, whenever we do, what do we see?
Do we see someone loved or are we critical of ourselves?
We are you know all loved, and whether woman or man, we are beautiful in the eyes of God.
So, when you look in the mirror next time welcome the one who is loved, you are a child of God and God will always love you.
