I woke up this morning with the words “God's Kiss” in my mind. When I was born, I had sticking out ears. It was so bad that, when my grandpa came over one day, my mom had my ears taped back to my head hoping they would grow that way. When I was in 4th grade, because it was picture day, my mom told me to pull my long hair to the front so it would show in the picture. I had been losing my baby teeth and already had my two front teeth, in adult size. I was so proud of myself that I remembered to pull my hair forward like my mother told me to. When we got the pictures back, I looked like a rabbit. I had two huge front teeth and, when I pulled my hair forward, my ears were in front of it! Sometimes growth comes through trials. My ears were definitely a trial to me. I learned not to worry about what people thought of me through those years. I finally grew into my ears and they are no longer a trial as an adult, but they accomplished what they were meant to do in my life. When there are things about us that we would like to change, if we could look at them as “God’s Kiss”, to help us grow into the person He planned for us to be, we can look forward to seeing how 'those things' are going to make us better.
