Mirror Mirror On My Passenger Side Door... I Confess, I believe Perspective Matters.

My passenger side rear-view mirror says, “Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.” 
  
It’s an admission that the view from that reflective surface is skewed.  In reality, what seems distant is actually much closer.

Sometimes we can think that we have moved past joy or faith or hope or love; and due to a hindsight warped and clouded by hurt, pain, or grief, they look so distant from us.  The good news is that they’re much closer than they appear.  They’re never farther away than the breath of a prayer escaping our lips.
  
Look up today.  The Hope that you thought you had missed is much closer than it appears.
  
Love in Christ always,

Chris


Lamentations 3: 20-22 – “My soul still remembers and sinks within me.  This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope.  Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.” (NKJV)

I'm always glad to hear from people who have taken time to read the posts here... even those who may not agree with me. I have had to make changes in the way I handle comments for this blog. They will all be subject to moderation from here on in. And as this is a personal blog and I have sole responsibility for its upkeep, it may take me a while to clear a post. I only ask 2 things from those who would leave comments.

1.) Please give your name. I have posted under mine, not anonymously or with a user name that would hide my identity. I would hope if someone was going to share an opinion, thought, criticism, or atta boy, that they would do so without fear of being identified so we can have an open dialogue.

2.) Please be respectful in the use of your language. Any cuss words, slurs, or other specifically vitriolic language will result in your comments not being posted. This is simply an attempt to keep a civil and life affirming tone for this space.

Thanks! And remember... Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss things. But small minds talk about people. Let's try to be great together.
