IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

Honesty, without gentleness, is nothing but brutality…Gentleness, without honesty, is nothing but sentimentality. ~Fr. Emmerich Vogt

Today I am grateful...
  • that God could and would if he were sought
  • that this is the 51st June 5th I have had
  • to know if I say ‘I love you so much’ or ‘I love you very much’ I am putting a limit to how much love I am giving
  • that I can want what others have and it not be a form of jealousy
  • to have friends with whom I would trust my life
  • for Texas Art Supply, I want everything!
Love and humility make a holy team. The one exalts love, the other supports those who have been exalted – and never falls. ~Unknown

May I then infer that since you want what others have, and you also want everything Texas Art Supply has, that you are not jealous of those who may already have everything that Texas Art Supply has, whether those things are in-stock or on order?
Eh?

Oh how I can relate to the feeling of wanting everything when a passion is envolved. I want my wax guy to make me a whole line of recovery charms and links exclusive to TwelveBeads and "I want it yesterday."

I am grateful I can let go of that and trust God to handle the "stuff." The "junky" human in me never can have enough :)

I'm SO glad, "God could and would if he were sought" and not if I found Him.......... : )

A bit confused: Are you 51 today? If so, Happy natal birthday!

I am awe-struck by what you said about love....It is interesting how our brains change to a mode of giving when we apply the tools here..

No, I turn 52 on June 29th. But thanks for the good wishes. It just occurred to me that I have had 51 of these days. That's all. Sory for the confusion.

Yeah anytime you throw you heart out there it seems it is never out there all the way.
