"If you look for the negative, that "A-ha!" that you are hoping to use against one's character, you are sure to find it by simply ignoring the not-so-obvious, albeit well-meaning intentions you seek not so diligently to decipher. But if you look to the Savior, you will find only Love and not accusation. For there is no condemnation with God. It will not be the love of being right or even of having wisdom, but Godly love. Because God is Love."

And this was over at Lots Of Scotts:
"Perhaps everything terrible is, in it's deepest being, something that needs our love."
Ranier Maria Rilke
I needed this today. I think a lot of us do.

MMmm, so good. One of the best books I've ever read is a little $5 book called "Equipped to Love," by Norm Wakefield. It's all about this very thing... the whole premise is loving people not for what we can get out of them, but for what they bring out of us--the perfect, unconditional love of Jesus. It is a wonderful, life-changing little book. You can find it at http://spiritofelijah.com. :)
(And, btw, I'm loving listneing to Check Yes or No... it makes me miss my guy... I can almost hear him singing it...)
Yeah, I need it. How'd you know? I guess you're right, we all do.
Thanks for weighing in about my curtains. At this point I'm pretty sure we're going with your choice, the brown trim.
