I love that variety. Father is so smitten with variety that He gave us each a different set of fingerprints and does not make two snowflakes the same. I definitely do not have a "matched set". <br />I practice having no illusions and very low expectations with them as well. It's when the opposite is true that many hurts and offenses occur.sammysgrammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306018146687609494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859377925928604245.post-83126342107959357882012-04-26T04:33:49.037-07:002012-04-26T04:33:49.037-07:00A lovely thought.A lovely thought.bananaorangeapplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986517456321125447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859377925928604245.post-30237520405355715592012-04-25T19:21:20.098-07:002012-04-25T19:21:20.098-07:00Ann Marie,

But we do need companionship, so making the extra effort is important :)Faith Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638250455113502655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859377925928604245.post-51020992556231434492012-04-25T08:39:43.277-07:002012-04-25T08:39:43.277-07:00This really helps as I have a sister that I try so...This really helps as I have a sister that I try so hard to maintain a relationship with,,,,with no interest on her part...Thank you for sharing: ) If she wanted to be there she would: )Kelly Bermudezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09348326811893238573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859377925928604245.post-675338749538421962012-04-25T07:29:14.748-07:002012-04-25T07:29:14.748-07:00There is someone at my church who I have had over,...There is someone at my church who I have had over, watched a child once. She always insist we get together for lunch, but then ask me to call her. When I have called her in the past she talks constantly about herself, and I just listen. She stopped suggesting lunch for a long time, but she is at it again. I think if she was a friend she would take the time to call me sometime.Mechellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761319655108400214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859377925928604245.post-58022748201983133462012-04-25T05:54:29.560-07:002012-04-25T05:54:29.560-07:00Well spoken, AnnMarie!

God has blessed me with true friends, very few but truly lovely. Other than that, it has been a balancing act between seeing myself as I think others see me (family tends to keep us in a box) and seeing myself and others the way God sees them, perfect in Christ, able to grow and change. To be expectant and open to hear Him in others He has placed in my life is an attitude I try to maintain. And it is such a joy when I hear His unmistakeable voice in them although it still does not necessarily mean they will be filling my 'spot', at least in the here and now.Luella Newkirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190434731054382741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859377925928604245.post-19559624263927470052012-04-24T17:21:38.915-07:002012-04-24T17:21:38.915-07:00Lovely post!
