Growing in Christ's image

Today I read a thought that I wanted to share with you all.
"So often we miss life's beauty because we are preoccupied by its flaws. Instead of taking off our shoes to feel the feathery soft grass beneath our feet, we complain that it's growing so fast we don't have time to mow it. Rather than enjoying the gregarious woman behind the supermarket counter, we blame her friendly chatter for delaying the checkout line. And what about us? Who stares back from the mirror each morning? A child of God who is growing daily in his image or someone whose nose is too big or too small, whose hair is in a state of perpetual rebellion, or whose skin is aged and worn?" Ann Spangler
As women, we tend to details of life every day from our faces to our lists of things to do.
Do we see them all as flaws or busywork or as something that will help us grow into the image of Jesus Christ as we live the day out? This is a challenge for me.... to see life through the Lord's eyes and sensibly go about what needs to be accomplished.....how are you doing with your daily attitude?
