Sunglasses

Oh how I love sunglasses. Big ones. Small ones. Round ones. Square ones. I love them all. I like the way the world looks when I put them on. Images are sharper, things are clearer and depending on what type of lenses are in the sunglasses some things almost appear in 3-D to me.

I remember watching the movie Big Daddy with Adam Sandler. In this movie he is taking care of his friend's son all the while telling everyone he adopted the boy. The little man was very scared of new people and places so Adam Sandler's character gave him "magic" sunglasses and when he had them on he believed that no one could see him. I completely identified with that message. Sunglasses do make you feel invisible...or at least they make me feel that way.

Sunglasses are a comfort thing to me I guess you could say. I feel protected because others can't see my eyes which in turn makes me feel like others can't read me. I'm an eye watcher. As I walk up to someone I first look at their feet (because first and foremost I'm a shoe lover!) and then I go straight for the eyes. Eyes tell me alot about a person. Sometimes they are soft and gentle. Other times they are cold and hard. Sunglasses make me feel protected because I'm not too sure what my eyes say.

"Just as water mirrors your face, so your face mirrors your heart." Proverbs 27:19. Wow! Maybe instead of worrying about what my eyes reflect I should focus on what my heart reflects! After all, that is where my Heavenly Father resides! My heart is his home. Is my heart warm? Is it comforting? Is it big and open? How's the condition of your heart? Are you hiding behind anything?
