It may take time and experience and tremendous growth pains to bring us to a place of loving his created as he loves them, but that's one of his goals for us.<br /><br />I suppose I'll spend the rest of my earthly days learning to love the most excellent way. I'm so grateful for the model set before me!<br /><br />Keep to it, Jennifer, and blessings to you in your Advent walk. <br /><br />peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717716357600344565.post-37127323114171509272011-11-23T16:21:46.915-05:002011-11-23T16:21:46.915-05:00Jadyn, that's great!

God gave me limited time on this earth and I am trying to find out what He'd have me do with it and how to bless those around me. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your words!Jadyn @ Dutch.British.Lovehttp://dutchbritishlove.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717716357600344565.post-27596984268321307232011-11-23T08:25:52.226-05:002011-11-23T08:25:52.226-05:00Jeri, you hit the nail on the head---grace!

One particular night she was talking about how we are to become refuges for the brokenhearted and storm-tattered. She urged us that we were put here to do some good.
