But that just shows us how wrong we can be. I love to read your writing about what happens in your home. Talk about imperfect that would be me. We used to entertain from time to time but anymore we don't do that much of it. But thanks for all that you share with us. God is a perfect and will guide us from day to day. Love you.<br />Becky Jones Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623225461358380621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129045009262289661.post-10922294946519291642018-04-30T13:37:48.172-05:002018-04-30T13:37:48.172-05:00Congrats Sarah!

It was such a simple meal but we had a great time and I realized that it's not the size or quality of the meal that matters - or the perfect house, but it's the time with a friend. Thanks for this great reminder, Sue! <br />Nancy Holtehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320148475388962301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129045009262289661.post-48005348709381386872018-04-26T18:36:13.061-05:002018-04-26T18:36:13.061-05:00I enjoyed your imperfection sister!

I know about cooking fails though I can cook pretty well ( never learned to makes biscuits ), I have been known to boil eggs and forget them, finding them scorched. One night, there was a sudden burst of explosions, like five or six gunshots. My mother and I had a laugh, my eggs had exploded. Thank God for timers and angels.http://alsoadaughtersgiftoflove.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/08989161875226130537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129045009262289661.post-75836509318334015162018-04-26T17:36:26.333-05:002018-04-26T17:36:26.333-05:00Sue you made me cry.

This is what my heart craves so badly, and as I wonder where all the people like this are in my world, I can look at myself and see maybe it's me who needs to step out and quite waiting on another. #ouch<br /><br />You and your hubs are such wonderful souls (imperfectly wonderful). It's wild how God uses "us" to help people but how they equally touch our lives right?<br /><br />I really need this other book of yours. Going on my list!
