Thanks for sharing my post, Maree! I appreciate all that you ladies do for the community of Grace and Truth (and for your consistency in it!).

Lisa – I joined Grace and Truth link-up as a host and I am choosing your post to feature this week. If all goes well with the technology I will be featuring your post tomorrow on my website. Thank you for sharing it with Grace and Truth.

May the Lord have mercy on us as we each learn to be receivers as well as givers. It’s funny that we’ve gotten the giving part down pat, but we still need to work on being the receiver. God must look and wonder at us. lol.

Being in control….yes, that’s another reason to not want to be the receiver instead of the giver. Good insight, Jean! God surely is patient with us as we work through all our pride issues. 🙂

Isn’t it funny that we don’t often see letting others help us as a way to be a help to them? Thanks for sharing that story, Debbie. None of us want to need help, but it does give others the opportunity to serve and be blessed as they bless us.

Pride and perfectionism; those are two of my vices too, Anita. Thankfully the Lord continues to work on us. 🙂

Your dad was wise in his assessment that we need both givers and receivers! It has to be a balance. Thanks for sharing this, Theresa.
