You Are Sweet

You are an ambitious person, but you temper your ambition with compassion and cooperation.
You would like to be successful, and you'd also like to help others as much as you can on the way up.

You seek balance in your life. You know you have a dominant personality, and you avoid coming on too strong.
You are more sensitive than you seem. You take criticism personally, and you are easily hurt. I'm not much for TV Dinners.

[left that other site]

It says I'm "Patient"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And in first....monte grabs the gold!!

[luvie]

You Are Open
Actually looks like nothing I'd eat :)

You have great people skills and tend to be extremely popular with everyone you know.
You are modest and humble. You like to be the center of attention, but you don't show off.

You live in the present moment. You try to enjoy whatever is going on and refrain from complaining.
You rely on your friends and family for support. You can be lonely when there's no one else around.

[mylife]

You Are Finicky

Because all those dinners looked like frozen yark to me!

And close behind....AZ snags the silver!!

Beautiful Scars
April 18, 2012

A number of years ago I was hiking along the Salmon River and came across a grove of pine trees that had been partially stripped of their bark. I knew from a friend who is a forester that the Native Americans who hunted this area long ago had peeled the outer bark and harvested the underlying layer for chewing gum. Some of the scars were disfiguring, but others, filled with crystallized sap and burnished by wind and weather, had been transformed into patterns of rare beauty.

So it is with our transgressions. We may be scarred by the sins of the past. But those sins, repented of and brought to Jesus for His forgiveness, can leave behind marks of beauty.

Some people, having tasted the bitterness of sin, now loathe it. They hate evil and love righteousness. Theirs is the beauty of holiness.

Others, knowing how far they fall short (Rom. 3:23), have tender hearts toward others. They rise up with understanding, compassion, and kindness when others fail. Theirs is the beauty of humility.

Finally, when acts of sin are freely and thoroughly forgiven it leads to intimacy with the One who has shown mercy. Such sinners love much for much has been forgiven (Luke 7:47). Theirs is the beauty of love.

Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me—
All His wonderful passion and purity!
O Thou Spirit divine, all my nature refine,
Till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me. —Orsborn

A forgiven heart is the fountain of beauty.

Read: Luke 7:36-49

Her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. —Luke 7:47

Bible in a Year:
1 Chronicles 14-16
