Self Image

Have you ever tried to take a picture of yourself? Here is the one I took of us while we were out for a little walk. My arms just aren't long enough and my chin is never in the right place. And if I try to smile..... well you can just forget it! I was called back to have my driver's licence picture retaken one day. I asked why it had to be retaken and was told that my eyes were closed. I lined up and assumed the pose and they said: "SMILE!!" I told them right away that they had a choice: I could smile or I could open my eyes. I can't do both!

It's a good thing we have a good self image. You do have to live up to certain standards so they don't call you a bum, but I have to admit that all the trappings of fashion don't do much for me. I know that Jesus loves me and that's good enough for me.
