I heard an excellent sermon in February about being proactive rather than reactive (drawing on the story in 2 Kings 5) and I think it works in so many ways in life. Rather than react to the shortcomings I see in others' (real or imagined), I know I need to try to be proactive, to love them and be kind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-14436275294065853672012-03-05T09:04:29.539+01:002012-03-05T09:04:29.539+01:00Yes, Floss whiners I can manage but not needy peop...Yes, Floss whiners I can manage but not needy people who will not help themselves! Some folk I think just cannot see what they have become and have ceased to think for themselves = they do need help and compassion to believe in themselves - they are hard work and I do try, so I do identify what you feel too!
