DIFFERENT DRUMMERS

If I do not want what you want, please try not to tell me that my want is wrong.
Or if I believe other than you, at least pause before you correct my view.
Or if my emotion is less than yours, or more, given the same circumstances,
try not to ask me to feel more strongly or weakly.
Or yet if I act, or fail to act, in the manner of your design for action, let me be.
I do not, for the moment at least, ask you to understand me. That will come
only when you are willing to give up changing me into a copy of you.
I may be your spouse, your parent, your offspring, your friend, or your
colleague. If you will allow me any of my own wants, or emotions, or beliefs,
or actions, you open yourself, so that someday these ways of mine might
not seem so wrong, and might finally appear to you as right — for me. To put
up with me is the first step to understanding me. Not that you embrace my
ways as right for you, but that you are no longer irritated or disappointed
with me for my seeming waywardness. And in understanding me you might come to
prize my differences from you, and, far from seeking to change me, preserve
and even nurture those differences. (David Keirsey)

Always think of you when I see the Eagle statues in the area!! :)

Ah TiaPam , I shared my eagle cam with the Dr. and when he came to release me he asked specifically if the baby had fledged! lol

They have been my solace the past week.

~Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place~

***
Be still, My child, and know that I am God!
Wait thou patiently—I know the path you trod.
So falter not, nor fear, nor think to run and hide,
For I, thy hope and strength, am waiting by thy side.
—Hein

Perfect Fit
July 17, 2011

Too long. Too short. Too big. Too small. Too tight. Too loose. These words describe most of the clothes I try on. Finding the perfect fit seems impossible.

Finding a church that is a “perfect fit” poses similar problems. Every church has something that’s not quite right. Our gifts aren’t recognized. Our talents aren’t appreciated. Our sense of humor is misunderstood. Certain attitudes, beliefs, people, or programs make us uncomfortable. We feel as if we don’t fit. We struggle to find our place.

We know, however, that God wants us to fit together with one another. The apostle Paul said we are being “built together to become a dwelling in which God lives” (Eph. 2:22 NIV).

The believers in the church today, like the tabernacle in the days of Moses (Ex. 26) and the temple in the days of Solomon (1 Kings 6:1-14), are the dwelling place of God on earth. God wants us to fit together—for there to be no divisions in His church. This means that we, the building blocks, are to be “perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment” (1 Cor. 1:10).

No church will be a perfect fit, but we can all work at fitting together more perfectly.

Christ’s love creates unity in the midst of diversity.

Read: Exodus 26:1-11

[Christ], in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. —Ephesians 2:21

Bible in a year:
Psalms 18-19; Acts 20:17-38

Good Morning Meg. This is the scripture God gave me while in the hospital. “ Be Still and Know that I AM GOD”.
What a comfort. This poem is wonderful.
