Only the Lord truly knows all the things that have happened in our lives to make us do what we do, when or how we do it and to respond to others how we do. I often think that if we could REALLY see people as they are, as we knew them in the pre-existence, we might just bow down before them. You just don't know what happened to make someone act thoughtless or even generous. Life is an interesting journey and an even more interesting teacher.

A sister in the ward showed up at my friend's door with an elaborate meal of roast and potatoes..the works. My friend had just returned home from a c-section birth. anyway...she thanked the sweet sister for the time and considerable expense gone to to prepare the meal. the sister said, "oh no problem...I got it out of your freezer!!" I smile every time I remember that story. No offense was taken...just lots of love and laughter.Kari Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855609339118198399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-54516327367075623342009-07-14T06:25:43.770-07:002009-07-14T06:25:43.770-07:00I sure know what you mean Stacy.

And you are so right it clouds it for you for a very long time. I was a kid in college, new convert and wanted to find out about this RS thing. Back then it was only on Tuesday mornings, not something I could attened with classes. They isolated me and I stayed isolated until my first calling in RS many years later. Now I love RS, but I sure didn't for a very long time.Terri Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905158157291602809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-76305587484096713082009-07-13T23:08:26.550-07:002009-07-13T23:08:26.550-07:00What a slap in the face that first dinner was.

The older I get, the more I realize I harbor many false perceptions from people that the issue was really their own. It is great to peel these away isn't it? Thanks for sharing.Cindy R.
