An elderly gent was invited to his old friends' home for
dinner one evening. He was impressed by the way his buddy
preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms--
Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc. The
couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they
were still very much in love.
While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over and
said to his host, "I think it's wonderful that, after all
these years, you still call your wife those loving pet
names."
The old man hung his head. "I have to tell you the truth,"
he said, "I forgot her name about 10 years ago."
A woman stares dejectedly into the bathroom mirror,
her reflection mocks what she once used to be.
So many wrinkles and too many graying hairs;
youthful beauty, now decayed, is all she sees.
A young boy, short and stocky, is the brunt of childhood jokes;
he shrugs it off, but deep inside he wants to die.
He responds to the cruel remarks with witty humor, suave fair,
but in the darkness of his room each night, he cries.
A teenage girl fights despair as she watches the TV;
clear complexions, waif-like figures on display.
But she is heavy, she has acne, and her hair is way too thin,
and she cries because she'll never look that way.
But the Lord says "Don't you know, child, when I look upon your
face,
a lovely reflection of Myself is what I see -
a beautiful child, clothed in the righteousness of My Son?
I see in you a mirror image of only Me.
So do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,
but heed the words I am speaking now to you.
My estimation of beauty - not the world's - is what you need.
See yourself and look at others the way I do."
