God is the...Thank you for your comments, Keystone.<br /><br />God is the one who helps so many in this world overcome adversities that are crushing. With Him, what is impossible for us individually becomes possible because of his power, peace, love, joy, patience...<br /><br />Thanks for putting your finger on the word significance. The desire to be love and the desire to be significant are so universal, aren't they. I pray that all the readers of this blog will continue to grow in understanding the depth of God's love and our significance in His eyes. He loves us! We are valuable to Him! We are cherished; even on the days when we have trouble getting in touch with these truths.Tanya T.

I never thought about it as you did, playing into a relationship like that, but I can see what you mean. <br /><br />I finally had to let perfectionism go when I had enough kids that it became them or the perfectionism! You know, take care of them or have a perfectly clean house kind of thing. I still feel that perfectionistic urge sometimes, but it is less as time goes by.Tracyhttp://www.twistedtree.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986270693452382001.post-83404353275824307652009-05-10T20:01:00.000-05:002009-05-10T20:01:00.000-05:00I like your blog.

Later, she pulled me into the spice room and showed me the "proper" place for paprika is in the "P" section alphabetically. Face Forward too.<br /><br />Life is too short for this challenge of perfectionism, for no matter how good you get it, it can be better.<br /><br />We live in a dirty world.<br />Polish your furniture on a sunny day and look through the rays of sunlight. Dust is in the air everywhere. It will settle downward and you will need to dust the furniture again.<br />But not 24/7 to be perfectly dustless.<br /><br />People go through life banged up, bruised, punched, and smothered,...<br />and that is just on the INSIDE. We can not see those damages, so just expect that they are there in everyone, the same as you expect your next breath will contain air to keep you alive.<br /><br />Our God is able to be perfect, but accept imperfection in all he created.<br /><br />We can too.<br /><br />YOU, Tanya, are worth more than many sparrows.Keystonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465358638077475521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986270693452382001.post-44805074883652354272009-05-10T19:10:00.000-05:002009-05-10T19:10:00.000-05:00Girlinaglasshouse,

Perfectionism in my case then , must be a choice. I too have that weed in my garden.<br /><br />Congratulations on the weight loss!
