I mean he has taught me nothing startling like quantum physics or rocket science just simple things, an increased awareness of what is around me and a much better understanding of life and how people think and operate as they do! I have over last twenty years made a career for myself in Marine Engineering, with Diplomas, certificates and degrees falling out of my ears and all backed up by a wealth of hands on experience. But all of this background was so pointless when faced with pram that we bought!

What is a pram? A pram is a perambulator, a four wheeled vehicle for a baby pushed by one on foot”! Nothing startling there! What my son taught me was that nothing is what it seems in life and that you can have all certificates in world but they don’t help with prams! This thing that we purchased was so technologically advanced that it took me three weeks to figure out how to raise seat! Eiffel and his Tower, Edison and his Light Bulb or even Ferris and his Wheel had nothing on this “Combi” invention! A fully-equipped mean machine, an all-terrain off-the road and all weather state of art vehicular transport that could fold up into handbag dimensions, perform to 80% even with flats on any two of its eight wheels and turn a circle on a dime (for this last action all wheels do have to be at peak performance). It weighed less than two kilos could shrink or expand to suit size of baby it would carry and it was multi-directional (the baby could be pushed forwards or backwards with flick of a switch).

Have you ever looked into a mirror and wondered what happened that changed you from last time you looked? Good news! It really doesn't matter if it was a good change or not!

Why not? Because you really aren't looking at something that's real! It's not only temporary but it's distorted!

God's Word is Your Mirror of Reality We are told in 2 Corinthians 3:18 that God's Word gives us a clear picture of who we are and what we have been promised.

When we look into that mirror we actually see real reflection and as we do it more we become more and more like Jesus. That is our goal. There are many times that people try and try to follow all of a list of rules. They think Christianity is too difficult and give up trying. They are looking at distorted, blurry image and thinking that it's permanent.

Reality God loves us so much that He's made it easy for us to change for better. His word is our mirror of reality of how He sees us, not how we do.

It's nice, and hard to believe sometimes, that someone thinks good things about us. We might not even like ourselves all time.

The amazing and awesome thing is that God sees us differently. He sees a clear and beautiful image of His children.
