"A How To For Getting Along With People"...
may be...
"Relationships For Dummies"... (is that already taken?)
could be...
"Managing the Stain of Personal Relationships"
well, anyway...
I was reading the Bible (the real "how to") to find some help from His wisdom with a few little one's - well, really, for mothering...I've been feeling a little frazzled...sorry, wondering...
anyway,
Do you know what I think the practical FIRST step to getting along with people is?
No, it's not hiding, or running, or eating chocolate (though I can't see how the latter hurts any).
Well, tell me YOUR guesses and I will continue this post a little later....
Here's a picture, just because they are so cute!!!
Getting past self?
ReplyDeleteUnconditional love?
Putting others before self?
Asking Jesus to find *something* to help us to love them like He does?
Prayer and fasting ;-)
Okay????...tell me Shonni!

Hmmm! I'm such a first born, I'm thinking "I don't want to get it WRONG!" :) Hehe! I think the Bible sums it up this way "Love because he first loved us!"
ReplyDeleteBut then I have to wonder HOW, when I myself am often so unlovely.
So I am reminded "In him, all things are possible"
Which brings me to "No one comes to the Father except through Christ Jesus."
I guess all this to say, getting past self requires putting Christ first and then others!
"The last shall be first..." and so on. :)
Your turn it's probably WRONG! HA
