Process

It is impossible to get my toddler to cooperate with me even when I am trying to give her what she wants. All she can see is the goal that she is after. She has no perception of, respect or concern for the process. Today, her goal was to go outside. She cried and fought me with all her strength to get through that front door. No matter how I tried to get through to her, she could not comprehend that I was giving her permission to do what she wanted. However, there are some things that must be done in preparation for her to go anywhere. 

The Perfect Person

I had this thought a long time ago. I figure I would share it with you because I still feel the same way. I think that our imperfections are what, in essence, make us “perfect” people. Why would I say that? Let’s think about it. There is not one person, besides Jesus Christ, who does not have any imperfections. Actually…let me take that back. It was prophesied that Jesus “had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him” ^a. So although he was a without sin, he actually was not “perfect” in the sense that we would use the word. He had physical flaws. When we encounter a person (celebrity or otherwise) who appears not to have flaws, we are taken aback. We wonder aloud or deep down inside what is really wrong with that person. “He/she cannot be perfect,” we say. Some would even go to great lengths to find that “Achilles Heal”. If there were a perfect flawless person, there would be something wrong that. So to have flaws, to make mistakes, to mess up sometimes, makes you normal. And that… makes you perfect.
