Through a glass brightly

1 Corinthians 13:11-12

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

The Glass mentioned in this scripture may really be referring to a mirror, which when kept polished, can give us a close-up view of ourselves. Sometimes I resent what I see in the mirror, imperfections or the same ole somebody. But I am grateful that I am known and can someday see or sometimes get glimpses, of how Heavenly Father sees me or knows me.

I love the perspective I get by being a front row observer of Eliza's child-like understanding of this world: the beauty of shiny metal on the grocery cart handle, the sound of bean sprouts shaking in a plastic produce bag, the sweet taste and sensation of a juicy citrus never tried before, and the mystery and potential in each new face that crosses her line of vision. . .

So here's a fun face-lift for our ole blog with a new name and some new color-- to celebrate the glass that Eliza holds up for us to see and catch a glimpse with of her world!

It can be a little simple, maybe sometimes a little childish, other times darkly, but mostly just brightly...
