today, i

discovered something really cool, and i thought i should share with y'all :) i was talking with my mom and naturally i was looking at her while talking, but she was looking straight ahead, not at me. so while i was looking at her side view of her face i realized that lips are shaped as a heart if you tilt your head to the left. did anyone notice that before? to clarify what i'm talking about:



right? the lips are shaped as a heart. and being the weird analytical person i am i tried to piece together a possible underlying meaning to this. the immediate thought that i came up with was that our lips are shaped like a heart, thus symbolizing compassion and love because that is exactly the purpose they (the lips) should serve. simply put, our lips are shaped like hearts because we should use our lips to speak only loving, encouraging words. when we open our lips (hearts) to speak and communicate, only loving words should flow out. how beautiful is that? it's just so weird and fascinating how this all ties together. another example of how amazing God is, how he tucks little things like this into the most unexpected places for us to find and awe at his awesomeness. i doubt when he created the human body, this was a coincidence. and this is so relevant to our society today... when's the last time you heard someone say loving and encouraging things and actually mean it? i actually can't remember the last time someone dropped random encouraging words just for the sake of doing it, not for any self motivated reasons. so this small discovery reminded me once again of the real purpose of why we have lips/mouth.. to speak compassion and encouragement. i'm trying to avoid using the word "love" because what many people think of the word love is the secular, worldly definition of love which i think is disappointing and shallow. but anyway, i just thought this was purdy cool. 8D
