Reflecting His Beauty

Do you enjoy watching the Antiques Road Show? I love seeing all the various items that are appraised. Some things take the owner by surprise, being more valuable than the owner thought, while others are a huge disappointment.

Recently, we saw an interesting item brought in for appraisal. It was a dragonfly pin with translucent wings, resembling stained glass. The owner had received it as a wedding gift from her husband 55 years ago, and it was thought to be much older, and made in France. It was enameled in the pique-a-jour style.

Unfortunately, the pin was an imitation, made in Spain around the time she received it.

As I thought about the dragonfly pin, shimmering in the light, I was reminded of the beauty of Jesus being reflected and radiating through my life, with nothing to impede the light shining through. Jesus, may it be so.

"Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame." Psalm 34:5
