In reply to Paul Hert. Wow! Thank you, Paul! I heard you had some good words to share with your congregation this Sunday, too. (My parents were impressed and blessed.) And we all feel the same way about you and Teresa : )

In reply to Jody. Hi Jody. Well written and insightful. Your mom and dad have been such a blessing to us for so long as have you and Tom and Jhon. The people God puts in our lives…amazing and so loving. Keep on sharing your wisdom. It is really encouraging.

In reply to Kathy.

That’s such a good point, Kathy. Thank you for bringing it up. I think James 1:19-20 living can be even more challenging at times in our closest relationships. It’s easy for me to be even quicker to speak and slower to listen with the people whose stories I think I already know.

Also, seeing all these responses from people who know my mom reminds me of what a blessing it is to have such a lovely glass-half full parent.

(Though it must be said, and my mom would agree, that my glass-half-empty parent has always been better at keeping the cars running, and the firewood stocked, and the adventures possible–there’s something to be said for keeping an eye out for what could go wrong, too! Thanks, Dad : )

Thank you Jody for the nice reminder of James 1:19-20. When you are married to someone who always sees the glass half empty you tend to over the years ignore or walk away. This was a good reminder to listen and allow the Holy Spirit to guide my response, when needed, to be like your mom.
