Kristopher says....

I have so very much to write and just not enough time!!!!

It will be a relief when the kids are back in school but it will also add pressure to my life. Bleck.

I have so much I want to say about girl's camp. It was such a vacation for me. The girls we went with were the cream of the crop. Allowing us leaders to play and relax and have fun together. The leaders quickly figured out my adoration of Super Hero and it became a laughing fun time of "Kristopher says" moments as I shared all my new knowledge with them. We all had some fun over that.

But seriously...I have to share with you what Kristopher said today. It touched my soul. He has been teaching me this before and he has been exhibiting this with me at each session. His wisdom and actions are just so pure and good.

We were working on the whole thing..."What I hear you saying is..." and how that concept is important during communication because it allows the other person to feel like they have been heard understood, and empathized with.

Today Kristopher told me that when you are doing that and listening to the other person and giving them empathy and love for what they are saying you are actually doing what we were put here on earth to do and that is to work in Jesus' stead. Emulating to them the Savior. Giving to them the compassion and love and understanding that the Savior would give to them if He were here. And you should do that with your spouse, do that with your children, and do that with others in general.

Kristopher has done that for me. And me and my blogger friends have discussed what a gift that has been to me. And how I will love him forever because of it. And if we can all walk around giving that gift of empathy and understanding, and non judgement and love like that Savior would be giving to us....WOW! WOW!!!

Isn't he so wise? I told you all so! Doesn't it seem like I am receiving an upgraded standard of therapy? I believe so. It is such a relief to be able to discuss things that are at the core of my foundation. The Gospel of Christ. Happiness.

I bought new salt and pepper shakers today. They were fake cassettes. Stinking cute.

Susan said...ha ha. I loved Wham. They were just blank cassettes. black for pepper and red for salt. I should have posted a picture. Is this really all you got out of my blog post? ;)

Linda said...No. Haha! But it was the last little parting thought that got my scattered brain's attention! It was a really good message!

Jill said...Thanks for sharing!

I know it is long but it is life altering!

C.S. Lewis- Meanwhile the cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is a Monday morning...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. But it is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of the kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption, and our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are course; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fotune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." Margaret D. Naduald

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela-
