than it was before."

Great quotes Val. Hard to choose a favorite but I like the one about your life may be the only Bible people read.

Val, these are absolutely beautiful. I agree with DB. I can't pick a favorite either, but I also was drawn to -- your life may be the only Bible people may ever read.
ReplyDeleteI also put one on Twitter recently. It was something like this: "If someone is mean to you, don't treat thm poorly afterward. Not so much bc they deserve it, but bc you always want to do what is right." To me that is real integrity! You want to love the person, and to love God, but you also want to have self respect, and by not letting the person get to you -- by showing them respect in that sense -- you are giving yourself respect at the same time, and being the better person. Or at least not dragging yourself down or feeling bad and harboring resentment, bitterness, and unforgiveness. Unforgiveness is just as bad for the person who needs to forgive as the person who needs the forgiveness! Hope that makes sense! Love you!
