Well, I have decided on the latter. After all, I am my father's daughter, and I cannot imagine him ever burying his head in the sand. I feel I need to get this off my chest. First of all, it said that 'what I do on here is rubbish (I have paraphrased as I'm terrified of having my mouth washed out with soap again!), that my life cannot be that perfect, that I should give it some thought and do something useful.' Well, that's me told then, hey?
So, how to respond to that? All I can say is that I never once claimed to have a perfect life. What is the perfect life anyway? I do however, have a very BLESSED life, a life where I count my blessings every day as I am very fortunate to have a beautiful family who surround me with love. I have a support network of friends who bring me much laughter, joy and who bless me everyday. I enjoy certain things in life, and as I believe that no man is an island, I'd like to share those passions of mine with those that share the same interests. I am far from perfect, but God's grace is sufficient for me. His strength is made perfect when I am weak.
As for giving it some thought and doing something useful...I have thought about it, and I shall but carry on as I am. I am who I am, and I will make no apologies for that. If I offend you, I will, if I upset you , I will, but I will make no apologies for enjoying the life that I have been given. I merely want to sow a little love.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Leandra!
My darling Tania,
ReplyDeleteI was once told that in life we have a choice...We can leave a sweet fragrance in the nostrils of those we come in contact with...OR we can leave a stench.
You, my loving friend, have generously blessed my days with the sweet fragrance of love, sincerity, caring for others, encouragement, friendship and most profoundly Jesus!
Stay as sweet as you are, my dear friend!
Blessings,
Carolynn xo
