It reminds me, though of a metaphor I heard a wise minister use. He noted that ants have different jobs, and they appear unique to each other; but to a human standing above an ant hill, there is not a noticeable difference among them. He likened that to the differences we humans ascribe to each other: that person is more spiritual, that person is more generous, etc. Yet to God, looking down from divine height, are there really any significant differences? Are any of us realy in need of more grace than others from God's point of view? The ant metaphor has been helpful to me in my spiritual journey to help me remember that God loves the person who annoys me as much as God loves me. I view facebook as a cyberministry, where I can extend grace to those who need it, and where I receive grace when I need it. May God grant you grace and peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16912487.post-92012316069404448822012-06-13T23:13:06.601-05:002012-06-13T23:13:06.601-05:00Thanks Mary.

I am also not a fan of the people who post EVERYWHERE they've been, going to, have thought about going to....... Does anybody enjoy the company they're with or the environment they're in any more? Oh, and one more........photos of food. I never thought a food stylist was a legit job until I saw all those disgusting plates of food posted on FB. Great post.......you got me all riled up :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349276827849647573noreply@blogger.com
