How are you doing in giving it to them? Some of us came from a background where there was little praise, little encouragement - so it's hard for us to give what we never got. But you of all people should know how much it hurts not to get it. Ask the Lord to give you eyes to see the positive in the people around you, and the words to tell them. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/One-Stone-at-a-Time-5068 2008-08-06T15:15:25-05:00 I think we've got something to learn from an Indian father two generations ago. He knew that he could not build a home quickly. He just added a little bit to it each day. Well, that's the way we should all build our home, our family, adding one more stone today, and then again tomorrow, and the day after that. And one day, you will be able to stand back and admire what God and you built together, one stone, one day at a time.
