She died at the age of 93 and her funeral was a long line of old ladies paying their respects. Almost all of them said, "She was the best friend I ever had." Why? She was not a particularly outgoing or magnetic person. But she did love to serve others and listen and pray for them all. I want to be like her.<br /><br />The world elevates those who exalt themselves through opinions and appearances. There is no easier place to do this than on the internet.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05856975629899818393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071722.post-75782613012641237982009-07-08T19:23:50.397-04:002009-07-08T19:23:50.397-04:00Funny, these same thoughts were crossing my mind j...Funny, these same thoughts were crossing my mind just this afternoon. Then I thought, how wonderful it will be when we get to heaven and not be troubled with these sins which so easily beset us.

There's a verse in James that God has really been hitting home with me: I think it's James 1:19--Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.

It's easy to forget that there is a real person with real feelings at the end of every comment you leave. Good reminders Alaina.

I'm sure i'll be working on this one for the rest of my life.Heather L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09892693393383714339noreply@blogger.com
