A lot of times it's just us, but I think it's important for us to serve as examples to our children and that definitely applies to how we respond in situations of stress...or obnoxious behavior lol In those moments I just try to stay centered in the present moment and dig deep, for patience and strength, knowing that God is soveriegn over it all.Jessica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450820269367184046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-60521709637133458112011-08-16T15:48:44.777-07:002011-08-16T15:48:44.777-07:00Kimly, that is so true about loving the unlovable ...Kimly, that is so true about loving the unlovable and it IS something that all of us have to work on.<br /><br />Debra, I think you are absolutely correct on that count. We are all striving to be more like Jesus as in "What would He do?" It's just, as Kimly pointed out above, not easy when confronted with a difficult person.<br /><br />Love and blessings to you both and thanks for the insightful comments!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-15320874531477358822011-08-16T14:27:54.207-07:002011-08-16T14:27:54.207-07:00Sometimes I imagine how Jesus would have reacted i...Sometimes I imagine how Jesus would have reacted in the rush and madness of traffic had they had cars back in the day. Being human like us, he may have been tempted to flip the bird a time or two :) But of course his coexisting divinity would’ve made him ever conscious of emulating what he saw the Father doing, and thus would have prevented such behavior, don’t you think?Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-74688686395160740422011-08-16T06:26:00.897-07:002011-08-16T06:26:00.897-07:00The hardest part for me is loving those who aren&#...The hardest part for me is loving those who aren't lovable. I try to remember that I'm not always lovable, but Christ loves me always. Loving your neighbor is easy when you like them, but showing love to those who are difficult, that is really a challenge, and something I am always working on. I pray to be a vessel, that Christ will love them through me. Thought provoking post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740588841896463217noreply@blogger.com
