Mirror, Mirror

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" I'm sure that at one point in time, we have all heard of that fairy-tale request. Following would be the anticipation of something that we would want to hear: a favorable response, if you would. Depending on the tale itself, the character would receive either some good news (usually what they want to hear) or some bad news. From there, the plot would either grow or pan itself out. Actually, it's because of such request that God has touched my heart to use the opening phrase Mirror, Mirror as the name of this series. Mirror, Mirror, a series of self-reflection books has two purposes: self-reflection and Spiritual Devotion. How easy is it for one to simply point the finger of blame at someone else for all the pain and turmoil that surround them, but is it really that cut-and-dried? The character in the fairy tale wanted to hear a particular answer when they would inquire whatever it was they needed to know. They would actually pin their hopes or their next move or their next emotion on the answer this mirror would give them. In some cases, if a favorable answer was not given, the mirror was either bullied into that answer, ignored by the requestor, or destroyed by the requestor. Sounds familiar? It does to me. I was that requestor, and real-life people were my mirrors. Think about it. We have all been there.
