Where The Angle Kissed Me
I heard a story some years ago about a teenager who had a very obvious birthmark over much of his face. His self-esteem seemed secure. He related well with the other students and was well liked. He seemed to be in no way self-conscious about his very large birthmark, which was obvious to everyone else.
Finally, someone asked how this could be. "Are you aware of the fact you have this large birthmark on your face?"
He replied, "Of course I am."
"Can you tell me, then, why it does not seem to bother you in the slightest?"
The young man smiled and said, "When I was very young, my father started telling me that the birthmark was there for two reasons: one, it was where the angel kissed me; and two, the angel had done that so my father could always find me easily in a crowd."
He then continued, "My dad told me this so many times with so much love that as I grew up, I actually began to feel sorry for the other kids who weren't kissed by the angel like I was."
