Growing pains

[BeingMe]

How fitting your recent posts are to a talk I am giving at church next Sunday! I will be talking about God's kindness, and remembering it, and learning from it, and how we see it in our lives. Sometimes, we find ourselves so wrapped up in our own life's pain (such as your W), that we don't even realise we are being unkind (we might think we are being assertive, for instance, or just being honest). Below, are a couple of quotes I found.

Here is a quote from Mother Theresa: "Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting. In the slums we are the light of God's kindness to the poor. To children, to the poor, to all who suffer and are lonely, give always a happy smile-Give them not only your care, but also your heart."

A children's song:
I want to be kind to ev’ryone,
For that is right, you see.
So I say to myself, Remember this:
Kindness begins with me.

2 Peter 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

Anyway, I am not judging your W (from all the reading I have done, this lesson applies so much to myself so who am I to judge anyone). Who knows why she is the way she is, or why we are the way we are? As your name says, it is what it is. You handle it all with such humour, and patience, that you really inspire me, Wii.

Take care.
