Just as you can see your own face reflected in water, so your heart reflects the kind of person you are. [Proverbs 27:19 (ERV)]

What we see in the water or in a mirror may reflect our faces but certainly not our hearts. What we see in the faces of the people we meet, what we hear in their voices, and what we observe in their body language is a far better reflection of our real selves. What is mirrored back to us? Frowns or grins, harsh voices or pleasant tones, tears or laughter, furrowed brows or peaceful visages, clasped arms or hugs, the middle finger or a pleasant wave? Today, O Lord, may I only leave smiles in my wake!
