Recently she gave me a gift. "What's this?", I asked. "I thought you could use it ", she told me.
It was Wrinkle cream! Seriously mom, I thought. I look good, I told myself as I ran to the mirror to check out my face. When I asked her why she bought this for me, she really thought that I could use some help!
Now I know I am not as young as I used to be but, I try to take care of myself. Sure I don't do all of things that Dr. Oz tells us to do all of the time but, I thought I looked pretty good. Obviously I was wrong.
My mother, bluntness and all, was right. I do have wrinkles! I may not always appreciate the truth when it first comes to me but, in the end I do appreciate the truth.
Scripture tells us to speak the truth in love.
I wonder if I should tell my mom to not speak so much? :)
Father, Help me to receive the truth in love and to give it in love. Thanks for my mom and her words of encouragement.
