The standard is more what a member of my family said when life became over-the-top intense, "Just blow things off like I did." Well, I refuse to do that. Walking through it with others, just holding on and doing the best to encourage and keep them putting one step in front of the other until the fog has lifted and the pressure is gone... that's sometimes what life is all about. Thanks.caryjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488368153291827383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-67298508392367072802010-06-16T22:10:29.599-04:002010-06-16T22:10:29.599-04:00Frank ~

Those with whom we share don't always know how to respond. Also, if people are accustomed to us being a "dispenser of grace and a good word," it may not even occur to them to give rather than receive.<br /><br />As much as possible, I try to give the benefit of the doubt. I've often been misunderstood. I've too often jumped to conclusions (still do).<br /><br />Sometimes compassion is dispensed directly from the Lord, sometimes through others. (I'm glad to have been one of the "others" in your life.) Ultimately, <i>all</i> compassion comes from Him anyway.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-90232378372401102062010-06-15T11:57:24.544-04:002010-06-15T11:57:24.544-04:00Louise ~ Indeed, we aren't alone.

He is all we need. He is also present in His people, and without having them in my life I'd still be incomplete.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-79437991399964384562010-06-15T11:20:40.440-04:002010-06-15T11:20:40.440-04:00Rosslyn ~

Or, when another makes a shift, they resent that we have our own path marked out?<br /><br />Your small hand enveloped in His warm one is adequate against the cold. I don't always feel that way myself, but I still know it to be true.
