Sometimes you're just being used and taken advantage of, but boy facing that reality and actually learning to say "NO".... that's hard sometimes. I need to learn it better. <br /><br />Of course, there are times when saying "yes" leads to a fine friend, and one who would do the same for you when it's your turn to need help. But, when the relationship is always take, take, take, it's no good. <br /><br />I can sit here and read that, and nod my head, then have such a difficult time actually applying it. One of these days we'll learn it for real, I reckon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06933693484851610498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-9256376847107827862012-06-15T16:24:48.562-04:002012-06-15T16:24:48.562-04:00Terri, you made some excellent points.

Your statement in #7 of not having to anticipate God's arrival, but just acknowledge His presence is such a good reminder. Sort of like when we tell the kids, 'just wait until your Father gets home!" but He is already here and is always present.Loritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570346408282598440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-80983140684157132092012-06-15T08:21:54.108-04:002012-06-15T08:21:54.108-04:00WOW!!
