Les taught a really good Bible study last Wednesday night. "God's Image versus Self Image." He brought out so many points about how our self image is based on family or friends or Hollywood instead of remembering that we are made in God's image.
He challenged us to look in the mirror first thing each morning and say to ourselves, "YOU are made in the image of God." I've been trying to remember to do that each morning. If I remember I am made in God's image I'm going to do a better job taking care of myself. Les and I had a really funny exchange as we were getting ready for church Sunday morning:
Les: What do you see in the mirror?What a difference it makes when we aren't trying to look like the latest rising star or the thinnest runway model or the tallest basketball player! We all have days when we would rather not even look in the mirror. On those days when you're looking at eyebrows that are bushy, or hair that is flat, or a figure that isn't what it use to be, remember:
Me: Bushy eyebrows...
Les: Uh!! (with much eye rolling and shaking of head)
Me: Well, that's what I was looking at! I know, I'm made in the image of God. I guess God has bushy eyebrows...
You are:
Feeling better, now?
- Made in the Image of God
- Chosen by God
- A Child of God
- An Heir of God
- A Joint-Heir with Christ
- A King and Priest Unto God
- The Apple of His Eye

I feel better :) haha! No matter how bushy my eyebrows get, or how much my waist expands, I know I'll be made in God's image! Ha Ha!! :)
This part was SOOOO funny!!!

Mary,

K! Thanks!!!
I woke up the next morning after the the bible study and quoted "I'm a child of the King" - so, if I'm a child of the King then I should be able to sleep another 20 minutes...hahahaha. When I did reach the mirror that morning I didn't see bushy eyebrows but saw someone I didn't recognize and asked that tired old lady to please leave cause she was obstructing my view. =) Seriously speaking - that was a very good bible study and I benefited from it.
