REFLECTION

The word for the second day of the HeartFreek July Challenge was "Shadow" but sadly there was no chance of one today as there is no sun, in fact, it is raining quite steadily now - although as Mr. HCB pointed out, I could use a light indoors!

So, I was on the lookout - and had blipped several of the words in the Challenge, as we can do them "out of order" if we choose to.

But then, after Mr. HCB had left me to browse in Westbourne (and I must admit I do browse better on my own, but please don't tell him that!) I found myself in a cafe that had a pretty little garden at the back - with a mirror - and there was my blip for today - REFLECTION.

Looked for a verse about reflection and, of course, there is the famous one in the chapter quoted yesterday about seeing a reflection in a mirror - but this one struck me - and The Message puts it very well - so I guess I'd better stop "banging on" about the fact that we women are better at everything than men!!!

In fact, perhaps I should truly REFLECT on that!

Don't, by the way, read too much into the differences here between men and women.
Neither man nor woman can go it alone or claim priority.
Man was created first, as a beautiful shining REFLECTION of God-that is true.
But the head on a woman's body clearly outshines in beauty the head of
her "head," her husband.
The first woman came from man, true-but ever since then,
every man comes from a woman!
And since virtually everything comes from God anyway,
let's quit going through these "who's first" routines.
