A woman went to an antique store and noticed a beautiful mirror marked $1000. She asked the owner why was it so expensive. He told her that the mirror had some magic attributes about it, particularly revealing 3 truths when a person places their hand on it. The woman was intrigued and bought it right away, especially after she placed the palm of her hand on the mirror, and it quickly revealed these facts:....you are 50 years old....you are jealous of Stephanie because she has a bigger house, and Joanne because she is prettier....and you recently stole a pair of gloves from the store. She took the mirror home and invited many of her friends to come check it out. And when they placed their hands on it they were stunned and mystified by what they saw being revealed about them.....: you always take off 7 years of your age......you complain and criticize constantly.....you buy too many clothes and never wear them..... Even their spouses were intrigued and ashamed of what it revealed about their lives: you leave work early to go to the pub.....you flirt with other women at work......you marked overtime for work you did not do. And this woman was left alone as no one wanted to visit her anymore. The message of this story is that TRUTH OFTEN HURTS. But it’s good to be sincere and honest, because even without the magic mirror, God sees everything.
