**SPIRITUAL** A Day At A Time
06/01
REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Slowly, but surely, I'm becoming able to accept other people's faults as well as their virtues. The Program is teaching me to "always love the best in others -- and never fear their worst." This is hardly an easy transition from my old way of thinking, but I'm beginning to see that all people -- including myself -- are to some extent emotionally ill as well as frequently wrong. AM I APPROACHING TRUE TOLERANCE? AM I BEGINNING TO SEE WHAT REAL LOVE FOR MY FELLOWS ACTUALLY MEANS?
TODAY I PRAY
May God give me tolerance for any shortcomings or sick symptoms or insensitivities of others, so that I can love the qualities that are good in them. May God instruct me in the truest meaning of love -- which must also include patience and forgiveness. May I not overlook the faults of those I love, but may I try to understand them.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Love is understanding.
Hugsss with love
The dating thing is all good.. I kinda look at it like this... if they quit responding.. It's because God intervined and He knew it's not a match.. and is directing me to the RIGHT ONE. Sometimes.. I'm a wusss and will keep at it even tho I question it. Like the last one and our 7 hours of phone conversation. A couple times I thought to self.. ummm.. not sure about this one. But do I just say.. this isn't the right one. NOOOOoo I would have hung in there until A BIG OLE RED FLAG(S) went off..
So.. God is helping me out.. with unanswered prayers.. or phone calls if you will
hugsss
VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY well put....I totally agree....the good thing is that I know you have tons of patience to wait for the right one.....keep watching for and acting on the red flags...but be open too....we are much older women and get set in our ways when sometimes we have to compromise on some things....
lovie dovies,
