I try to remember life is one big play production so to speak everyone has a part to play. Some one has to play the jerk another the ungrateful someone has the sick part someone else is given the happy role another impatient but what does it matter there is only one part I’m responsible for and that’s me! My part is to be a child of God! I’ve only come to realize it this over the last couple of years as I’ve gotten older up until then the article you just wrote pictured me all too well! Always find your writings refreshing and very timely pretty soon I’m going to have to upgrade! God bless you!
I love this. Why empathy matters so much, I like how you essentially call this, "generous with our stories."
An author I gained a lot from gave us five questions to ask when telling ourselves a story:
1) what are the facts? 2.) what is our perception? 3.) what are our feelings about what happened? 4.) what does the gospel say about it? 5) what action (even if challenging or counterintuitive) does he want to help us take about it?
