3 thoughts. not connected

1. sorry about the non-posting. I'll be honest...the last post has something to do with my lack of spare time for blogging and as it is lower on the priority list for me...it was one of the first to go. oh boys. :P

2. a (paraphrased) quote by Henri Nouwen that sticking with me from church.

Are we able (or willing?) to forgive the people in our lives who did not love us as well as we wanted to be loved?

I can't put quotation marks...but that idea is so true of me. I get upset when people don't love me the way i want to be loved. But then i remembered how I have never loved God the way that He wanted to be loved and He forgave me and loved me anyway. I'm so glad He did.

3. Another quote - reminds me of the idea of low-maintenance friendships and why they're so good.

"The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.” Elisabeth Foley (i don't know who she is...but i liked the quote)
