WRINKLE MOVERS

By: Joseph J. Mazzella

I saw a new advertisement today for a wrinkle remover. It
guaranteed to make you look and feel twenty years younger.
This caused me to think. Do I want to remove my wrinkles?
I went and took a peek at myself in the mirror. The truth was
I didn?t seem to have that many wrinkles until I smiled and I
kind of liked those when I saw them. Besides I already felt
and acted twenty years younger than my age anyway. My
wife and kids would attest to that. I decided that I didn?t want
to give up my smile creases and laugh lines. After all, I had
earned them and enjoyed making them.

The truth is that there are a lot of beautiful wrinkles out there.
I don?t know why our society is so obsessed with removing them.
They are wonderful evidence of the laughter, love, and joy that
people have had in their lives. They are glorious monuments to
a life lived in happiness and delight. They are lovely signposts
of a million peaceful smiles. Of course, some wrinkles come
from pain, worry, and sadness. Still, God gives us a whole
lifetime to create wrinkles and it is never too late to create
new wrinkles of love and joy.

Maybe all of us should quit trying to remove our wrinkles
and start trying to move them to more joyous places instead.
If you ask me there is a wonderful beauty in a smiling face
full of wrinkles that show just how much it has smiled before.
Become a wrinkle mover then. Choose love and joy every
second of everyday. Smile in delight at every good thing
and at everyone you meet. Share every bit of love, laughter,
and joy you have. Make those laugh lines deep and take
joy in the wonderful life you have lived to create them. Live
for the love in your soul not the condition of your skin.
Remember, God gives us laughter, smiles, love, joy,
peace, happiness, and delight. Why should we take
away or cover up the glorious portrait they create?
