Reflections and mirrors



As we came home from the swimming hall 
the rain had passed, and there were 
small pools of water everywhere. 
The pools were like small mirrors, 
reflecting the blue sky and the trees around. 
This lead me to think about how I am mirroring the ones around me - 
What does my eyes, words, behavior mirror to them? 
How do they perceive themselves throught the mirror I provide to them? 
 What kind of mirror am I?




"As the water reflects the face, 
so one's life reflects the heart."
 Proverbs 27:19




I have found a mirror 
that reflects unconditional love, hope and mercy ... 
It is to be found in our heavenly Father, 
who sees us as we are, 
loves as we are, and 
 mirrors always loving care and accept.




Reflections 

There is so much beauty in life, 
Beauty in the human soul, 
Beauty in the heart and in the mind 
Of the good man and woman. 
There is beauty in the nature,
Beauty in the sky and and in the clouds,
In the mountains and in the sea.
There is beauty in the creative work of man,
Beauy in the friendship.
And immeasurable beauty in love.
All God's blessings
 To delight us in the world.
