It reminds of the verse on our calender today 'let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:' I think we need much grace to be slow to think sometimes too, especially if those thoughts are judgmental! xSharon - creativity and familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09723560933462975777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-51322300722543867222016-01-04T16:27:01.976+10:002016-01-04T16:27:01.976+10:00I always tell my friends, if I was coming to see y...I always tell my friends, if I was coming to see your house I would have made an appointment - I came to see YOU!!!

If I needed to keep everything dust-free, I would be dusting twice a day and I just don't care enough to do that. Now, if I'm needing a pencil to write a number down and can just use my finger on the table, well, then I'm not OK with that! You are so right, what is right or works for me isn't necessarily right for anyone else! I find with women that when we compare ourselves to others, one of two things happen: (1) we don't feel like we measure up and that lowers how we feel about ourselves or (2) we feel superior to that person and our nose goes in the air. Neither one is a road I want to take!Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-15611419993655001882016-01-04T05:10:26.722+10:002016-01-04T05:10:26.722+10:00Thank you so much for your reminder that we each n...Thank you so much for your reminder that we each need take care of our own.

My Mother has an absolute love of house cleaning, her house sparkles...but she also does not judge anyone else on the way they keep their home. Thankfully, I learned that lesson from her early on and like you enjoy the time spent with friends and family and leave with those treasured memories of laughter and togetherness! It is hard to get past that obstacle that blocks a view for whatever reason, but when we do find our way around it and open the view it is a glorious view. Thank you for sharing this special message; it is always a necessary step to be reminded of and keep the view full. Have a blessed wonderful creative day!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958077183627536062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-68287181112004259682016-01-04T03:03:29.502+10:002016-01-04T03:03:29.502+10:00My husband and I were just having this same splint...My husband and I were just having this same splinter/plank discussion last night over some very uncharitable thoughts he was having.
