could do?" 

Obviously, she thought I was joking because I couldn't get her to stop
laughing. 

When she finally calmed down, she said, "You've had wrinkles for as long
as I can remember." Then she began laughing again. 

When she quieted down again, she said, "The purpose of wrinkles is to
keep track of your age. Every wrinkle represents a certain age in your 
life." Then she broke down in laughter again. Obviously, this is funny 
to her. 

The next time I was in front of the mirror, I carefully looked at my
wrinkles and tried to count them. If what she says is true, I must be 
397 years old. 

I exited the bathroom with a very sour grimace on my face, and when my
wife looked at me, once again, she broke down into hilarious laughter. 
I'm glad she thinks it's funny! 

I'm not sure what to do with my wrinkles, but I'm not going to have
plastic surgery. 

I need to accept things as they are and not allow something as silly as
a wrinkle define who I am. If I do that, I will never come to any kind 
of reality about myself. I surely am not my wrinkle. 

Thinking about this, I was reminded of a verse in the Bible. “Lead me, O
Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way 
straight before my face” (Psalm 5:8). 

My face has more important things to do than fuss over wrinkles. I need
to trust the Lord each day to set before my face the way that he wants 
me to go for his glory.
