I love these stories..in puts things into perspective and sometimes we get so ahead of ourselves lines become blurry. I wish they didn't.

Funny thing...when I read the part about luggage getting lost.....I went on a trip with my friends..and you really can tell alot about a person when her luggage gets lost.lol.
During that fiasco..we had been delayed, bumped off our connecting flight and then lost luggage..I was never really worried I knew eventually everything would work out and if they lost my luggage it was just things..so why worry..I knew God would take care of us...he had so far...I even got bumped to first class on one of the flights.. Finally when she was stressed and complaining... I just looked at her and said..."Why are you worried...hasn't God taken care of us this far?" I didn't hear one more complaint. :wink:

Perspective..that is what it is all about.

Wise words, charismah. God does indeed care for us, and He cares what happens to us. I try not to worry about things, but sometimes the "things" push to the top!!

Isn't it funny that it took a child to see they were wrong in the way they were dealing with this.

A friend sent me this: A group of professional people posed this
question to a group of 4-8 year olds, "What does love man?" The
answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have
imagined. See what you think:
1. Love is whats in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening
presents and listen.
2. When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't ben d over and paint
her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even
when his hands got arthritis too. Thats love.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an
elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man
cry, the little boy went into the old gentlemans yard, climbed onto his
lap and just sat there. When his mother asked what he had said to the
neighbor, the little boy said, "nothing, I just helped him cry."
made me cry, made my hubby tear up a little too.

Sorry, it should have said what does love mean.
