So God has been dealing with me about being too harsh with myself, my looks in particular. So I try and think of something positive about things that I find offensive with how I look. For instance, I have a large C-section scar that no matter how much I exercise or lose weight , it is still pretty prominent . I think to myself how I got that large scar and I realize that that is how I got my beautiful daughter 29 years ago. So offset the negative with a great positive and be extremely grateful for the large scar that brought my daughter! Well God has a sense of humor because I have been trying to convince myself that wrinkles are not terrible and I need to be thankful that I have lived long enough to have wrinkles, and tonight he sent a little 4 year old to get the point across . While waiting for a court to open up tonight I was sitting with the daughter of one of the younger players. Her name is Sophia and she is 4. I was reading one of the books that she had with her and I am always animated when I read. She had the Pokey Little Puppy (I remember reading this book to my kids) and as I was reading she looks really hard at me and says, what is that? She places her finger on the side of my mouth and I thought oh no, I have crumbs on the side of my mouth. But when I put my finger where hers was I didnt feel anything there. She then says I see it when you laugh, laugh again and when I did she traced a wrinkle on the side of my mouth and then she says I like it! Thank you Lord for reminding me that I have some wrinkles because I have had plenty of laughter in my life.
