Man of many faces

Are you a man of many faces?  Many men are to one degree or another.  Here's an impromptu list of the faces we put on from time to time:
 
 
the Daddy Face when with our children
the Husband Face we share with our wives
the Loyal Interested Employee Face we wear when the boss is around
the Fun Face we wear when with our buddies
the Good Neighbor Face we put on when helping out neighbors
the Good Friend Face we wear as we interact with friends
the Ugly Face we wear when we are angry or hurt
and, oh yes, the I'm a Good Christian Face we wear when around church or church friends
 
lastly, there is The Real Face, the real face that you see when you look in the mirror.
 

The Real Face, that one you see looking back at you when you are shaving in the morning....that's the one that "tells" you how real you are.  That's the one that can remind you about all of those other phony faces....if you'll listen.  That face is the one God knows and loves.  That face is the one everyone you come in contact with wishes to see and know and love.  That face is THE most important face you have.
 
Sometimes it's kind of hard to have just one face isn't it?  Truth is, most others really can tell which one is The Real Face....and want that face.....even when you're wearing one of the others in your bag of tricks.  Especially those closest to us, like the wives and kids.  They just want The Real Face...the real you.
