I saw myself on a high definition big screen TV and it threw me into what my grandmother would call a "tizzy". I ran to the nearest department store to buy something that would hide, mask, condition, moisturize, or highlight.
Hi, I'm Claudia Mitchell with a minute message from SOCC.
I bought a product that promised to remove puffy eyes overnight..the next morning I was out $30 and still had puffy eyes staring back at me from the mirror.
My quiet time took me to 2 Corinthians reading Paul's words, "Though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being made new"
Paul tells us that what we see outwardly is temporary. It is what inside us that will last forever. No matter what seems to be outwardly wasting away, sickness, pain, worry, or even wrinkles and a few extra pounds what is inside is being made new!
Personally I will try to slow down the wasting away outside stuff a bit, cover the gray, slap on some moisturizer, and watch the carbs.
So, if you are having a "tizzy" kind a day join me, look away from that high definition screen and take Paul's advice to focus on the inside and highlights of the eternal kind!
