“Be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead!”
1 Peter 1:6

An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo.

Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.

“You’ve got so many freckles, there’s no place to paint!” a girl in the line said to the little fellow.

Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him.

“I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles,” she said, while tracing her finger across the child’s cheek.

“Freckles are beautiful.”

The boy looked up, “Really?”

“Of course,” said the grandmother. “Why just name me one thing that’s prettier than freckles.”

The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma’s face and softly whispered …

“Wrinkles.”

Some people can’t enjoy life, for they live behind the barrier of self-complaint.

Life is a journey. Many people are waiting so much for the imagined destination they forget to enjoy the miles they are traveling.

I remember counseling a woman years ago, that told me she would not give herself permission to be happy, until she lost 20 pounds. What a waste.

Some people complain their way through the day, criticizing and not liking their present situation. Some look in the mirror and find their number one excuse to not be happy. They always find something wrong, and do not believe they are worthy of acceptance until they make some change.

Change can be as minor as a hairdo, weight loss, or as major as plastic surgery before they will like what they have.

I have also known many, of what you would call, “the beautiful people.” I have rarely known one that liked what they presently had, for they would always find something wrong.

Many people do not come up to the standard of self-love, truthfully, they do not even have self like.

We must view ourselves, and our life, as God views us. God loves us and God loves life – God is the Creator of life.

Admittedly, we might not be to that level, but on our journey we must walk in that direction by at least liking what we have and being thankful for it.
