You cant have your cake and eat it too. These are important words for men and women alike. You cant have and give. You cant give and have. I wish it could be different but unfortunately our wishes lead to more wishing.

It's 1:49 am and I'm still awake...thinking of sleep but not there yet! As I prepare for sleep I was just reflecting on people. Sometimes I can be so critical...like I think I am better than others. Fortunately I've had some better experiences, and better opportunities,regardless, people are just people. Some are thin, some have great teeth, some have wavy or frizzy hair. some are lumpy and mismatched, while others are smoothly put together. But people are people. I am often reminded by the still small voice of God that humans are created in God's image. This should drastically change how I act and react to people and should cause me to love. Sometimes my love for people is blocked by their speech or their teeth, or their clothes or hair. I get irritated by their slowness to act or their inability to make a decision. I find myself separating myself from them not because of anything but my own biases. So the goal is to love people simply because they are created in the image of God. Remembering this changes everything...or at least it should.

1:57 am ....Now it is definitely time for sleep!
