Most of us have high expectations of other people .. and friends .. we need to shed these expectations .. it’s just .. way too stressful .. of a way .. to live .. haha .. for simply .. it leads to offense .. and .. the truth is .. when we take offence at others .. it’s really .. just about .. being disappointed when we see their faults .. haha .. I don’t know about you .. but for me .. I can look right in the mirror and see all the faults I care to see .. that’s right .. things happen to all of us in life .. and .. when they do .. we can’t allow ourselves to be taken aback .. nope .. no matter what people say or do .. we must remember .. there is good in all of us .. and .. we are all human .. so very far from perfect .. we’re going to make mistakes .. and .. that’s the bottom line .. Paul said it the best .. and if we can remember this .. we’ll simply be .. much more tolerant of one another and less likely to be offended when they .. say or do .. things they shouldn’t .. say or do .. that’s right .. friends .. we must always believe in each other .. we must believe .. that the person who offended us .. actually has our best interest at heart .. or .. at least .. that they really didn’t mean to hurt us .. because the truth is .. we don’t always say .. what we really mean .. haha .. I know this from experience .. for .. I will stick my foot .. right into .. my mouth .. quickly .. oh but .. gratefully .. my people .. they give me the benefit of the doubt .. I really don’t have to worry about how they will see my .. “tactless” .. words and actions .. for .. I am blessed to be surrounded by people who .. see things for what they are .. while .. not making more out of it than necessary .. and this .. is the same kind of understanding I need to extend to others .. so .. with this knowledge .. the next time we find ourselves getting offended .. we need to stay mindful of this fact .. Our God .. He made us all .. we are His .. “Works of Art” .. with unique and different personalities .. and .. we must allow for those differences .. ignoring unpleasant mistakes .. and .. learning simply .. to enjoy each other .. even when .. we don’t always do or say .. what we want to .. see or hear .. that’s right people .. “patience .. kindness .. and .. understanding” .. it’s the name of the game .. and .. we all want to win .. and we can .. haha .. when we play fair .. oh yeah people ..
