When I Look In the Mirror

Author Dana Redricks May 28, 2013 When I look in the mirror do you know what I see, I see this beautiful woman looking back at me, I say to my savior who created everything, thank you for my eyes so brown and beautiful and able to see all the beautiful things you have created and made to be. I say to my savior thank you for my nose wide and flat and able to smell so strongly and there is only one like mine. I say thank you for my mouth, my lips made so perfect and defined, my teeth you given me to help digest my food to feed my body and spread some joy, my tongue that taste the many varieties of flavors you have given for my pleasure, and to assist with my speech, my ears so perfectly made to hear and be warned and the gateway to knowledge, and the path to my faith. Thank you for my hands even thou they are small they can do big things, they are used to praise you, to be a service to others and to help me with my daily life. I thank you for my hips, my thighs, my legs and my feet, that takes me places and the strength you give me to stand even when I'm hurting and I think I can no longer stand, on them I continue being strong, even thou I am weak. Thank you for my organs that help run my body like a well refined machine, that does there job to keep my system clean, including the most important part of body not forgetting the brain that is the operator or the whole body and the captain of the whole thing. Lord you are my Messiah, my king, you alone rein supreme.
