I know...Does she know you'd like to have them?<br /><br />I know the fear thing. The thing is, we are not responsible for the response or the result. We are only responsible for use.Sandra Heska Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770393615748405966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970315744278485874.post-48178528915587957712010-03-17T13:45:52.247-04:002010-03-17T13:45:52.247-04:00Maybe I'm afraid if I bleed on the page, peopl...Maybe I'm afraid if I bleed on the page, people will hate it or laugh at me.Lorna G.

(They had some sort of offer: buy $$ groceries, get a plate or a gravy boat, etc) She has not offered them to me. :(Lorna G.

So thanks for reminding me of this principle... and about this tragedy. I really love that idea about a gift being so valuable that it MUST be risked! That is something that can seriously change the way we behave if we really get our heads wrapped around that one.<br /><br />Thanks!Dan Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133894199731633028noreply@blogger.com
