Things have evolved and we have way too many things to read- our laws could fill a football stadium. Please pray that God will give us wisdom to sort all this out. Anyone want to throw it all out and start over with the 10 Commandments?" Thanks for the compliment :)Karen Kyle Ericsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519939237365240288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882250860290921060.post-66722199264597534962011-03-08T17:45:31.012-05:002011-03-08T17:45:31.012-05:00You would never make it in politics, Karen.

Mother Teresa ha...Thanks for sharing this Colleen. Mother Teresa had some pretty great messages for us. I think the people who are most frightening are those who pretend to be perfect in public. You never know what comes next- you can sense it's not natural. I agree the more we practice love, patience and kindness at home the more we're able to show it to others who need us. This Psalm is incredibly practical.

It is just too easy to put on our best behavior for others, outside the home, to be kind, compassionate, good while at home, we let ourselves act in any manner of thoughtless or unkind, impatient ways.<br /><br />This reminds me of a quote by Mother Teresa, I don't remember it all but it has to do with everyone being in such a hurry today, parents having no time for their children and vice versa and ends with the sobering line "and so the destruction of the peace of the world begins in the home." Yet, if we take accountability for our actions at home, so can the peace of the home be carried out into our sad and hurting world.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564805397010089954noreply@blogger.com
