That Older Face is a Gift

It is a gift to see wrinkles and gray hair as a sign of wisdom, laughter; but also experience. It’s the sign of age, not as flaws but of a life well lived through all of its obstacles. A beauty map, filled with experience, wisdom, and a journey with anticipation. A precious gift not enjoyed by many. It is a testament to surviving and thriving. Highlighting deeper and richer connections. A more profound appreciation for life.  

I don’t choose you because it’s easy. I choose you because I love you. The obstacles are what we survived together. When I see you I see the essence of our life. 
​
Having appreciation for life’s obstacles shows how you develop in them. You need obstacles to challenge you. At the end realize it wasn’t you that brought you through the bad times, but God. He has been with you the entire time. In your ups, and downs. To bring His child back up on sturdy ground.
