Not my will but thine be done were his words in the garden. I wonder if some of us give of ourselves out of fear that we will be punished if we do not sacrifice.

And if I'm willing to remember that, then I can think of all the sacrifices that I make "for others" (who may or may not have a claim on me) as really being sacrifices for God. <br /><br />(Which is a thought I really need for today, in particular.)Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874350888994718899.post-66600392653419686462011-02-22T08:10:37.962-06:002011-02-22T08:10:37.962-06:00I did the same thing, Helen.
