Reflections

When an angel gazes into a pool it is mesmerized by its own reflection. Leading a life of perpetual praise to God and helping where it can, it is not absorbed in itself. To lead that kind of life is something we can only aspire to and wish for. It is a life of self-sacrifice and boundless energy given over to service to others. Do we give enough? Or are we in such a race to gather material possessions that we forget what is really important in life? Perhaps one day we can face the mirror and be enthralled as well because we haven't seen the image in a while. It is certainly a goal to strive for in our lives.
