The Face in the Mirror

592

It was pretty unclear, that face in the mirror, no matter how the glass sparkled.
The image outside might be easily defined, but inside murky depths cast a haze.
So because of the fear, I avoided the mirror. I saw nothing to reflect at or marvel.
Beauty it seemed, was just not for me. In my portrait I saw nothing worth praise.

A Different Walk Today

426

Estimated Reading Time 1 MinutesI try my best to get outside and walk everyday. It makes a big difference in mind, body, and spirit. So yesterday when I saw some leaders of my church post about walking in solidarity for people who are hungry, I was touched. Today I decided to really think about and pray for those who are hungry. The first thing I realized and that’s a little embarrassing to admit is that per usual, I took a snack along. Right out the door, I was thankful to have food that so many people don’t have. I sometimes take photos when the moment strikes, but as I took my walk today I decided to really notice anything and everything that sparked a thankful thought. Here are some of the highlights: This was the highlight of my day. A simple reminder that it’s the simple everyday pleasures that mean so much. Here’s hoping you had a great day too!

Those who accomplish the most in this world are those with a vision for their lives. ~ M. Russell Ballard
