life is so much more than the expected
more than competitions and climbing the ladder
than shooing the kids off to 'this and that'
than shopping and eating, cleaning and building
life is so much more
it is taking time to be together regardless of age....yielding to others to make them feel good...playing around with nothing much more than the people themselves in laughter
an unusual post on Holy Saturday, yes I agree, but it has become all too clear within me this Lent that making demands on others to be more like them is not a true relationship with another person
making demands is manipulative
try
try so very hard to love others
try
we all have our failings...let us all choose to see those within ourselves before looking upon others and critiquing their faults
try
because life is so much more!
have a beautifully blessed Easter embracing the love He has for you by showing others this love...
xo,
Beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful. I am so blessed. I am so humbled by His unconditional love.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day my friend.
Wise words. It is our job to leave others better off then when we first encounter them. It is also so important to slow down and take in each person for themselves and enjoy. These are the real treasures.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter.

Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteYour posting today dovetails nicely with my morning devotional on being thankful. Just the thing I needed to read before venturing out to an extended family gathering this afternoon.
Thank you as always for sharing your spiritual insights.
Such true words. Happy Easter to you and your family, Anne Marie.
