My ten-year-old granddaughter just got braces on her front teeth. They are tight and uncomfortable, and she’s afraid other kids might make fun of her. She’s heard other kids called names such as Metal Mouth and Brace Face. But she told me she’s willing to endure it because “one day my teeth will be perfect!”
Kind of like a metaphor for life, isn’t it? We endure pain, discomfort and adversity, and maybe even ridicule, but try our best to hold on to our faith, because we trust that, some day, we’ll be taken up to a place that is perfect. The reward is worth the journey.
Thinking about that should bring a wide smile to your face. Even if you’re wearing braces.
Amen, yes indeed. thank you for sharing.
