To know me is to love me....we'll maybe not...but while I am growing please be kind enough to "blow the rest away"...
This thought comes from a poem by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik describing the joy when a friend truly listens:
"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, put pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away."
Do we know how to blow another's chaff away? Do we spend more time focusing on their faults...or helping them build up their strength...How do you want people to let you make mistakes? ...and do you want to grow?
My friends know me, love me and push me....my enemies just push me...and yet I learn and grow from both.
I am Thankful for all!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone....
