Now that is so much thoughtful insight in a few pithy pics. Amandaaaaa….Blessed Christmas. And as a gift, sharing a few words we use to fill in for more hearty/spontaneous, but less gracious, words…. “sugar beets”, “shampoo”. Yeh, I know…laaaame. hehe. Joy to all.
Matthew 5:44-46 KJVBut I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?-Red letter
I did my good deed this morning. There was an art show and sale going on near the farm market. One of the presenters was having a very hard time getting set up and her husband was MIA. So I asked if I could help. I got the t-shirts organized and hung on the rack, the socks displayed, and the stickers and pingpong balls organized. Hubby showed up and was sent on an errand, twice. Got it a little wrong the first time. It felt good, I struggle setting up my show/sale every year too.

Doesn’t always help. But it’s worth a try…
Pay it forward in some cultures. Fortunately.

Don’t be discouraged. It’s all temporary.

Properly attributed with a footnote, too. Still doesn’t make it easier…

Everyone should try this at least once, just to see the persons reaction if nothing else. Priceless the baffled looks you get :-)

Wait. If I’m around a group of people and I find none of them troublesome, that means I’M the troublesome one!
