I have been told before when trying to repay someone for their kindness that I was 'robbing them of a blessing'. I think about that often when I find myself trying to repay someone. Thanks again for sharing your life through your blog. It is definitely an encouragement to me.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388712869402424588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-15163099572170649992011-11-30T09:59:39.903-05:002011-11-30T09:59:39.903-05:00So well said.

I know I struggle with the need to give back, when sometimes I just need to reveive and give thanks. <br /><br />I'm so happy to see you had a wonderful trip. You and your family are beautiful, and I so enjoy your blog. Thanks for sharing your insightful writing with us.As You Wishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08448113859021888873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-23646729258542084122011-11-28T08:08:59.013-05:002011-11-28T08:08:59.013-05:00Loved reading about your trip!

Our daughter...I had a similar experience yesterday. Our daughter's boyfriend of two years went on our family trip this week. On the flight home, he said, " Thank you so much for including me on the trip. I don't know how I can repay you, but in some small way, I am going to try." And I responded, "Please don't try, we wanted you to enjoy it with us. We are so glad you did." So, I get it, too!deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260449313842583811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-89850325099198440632011-11-27T07:04:50.285-05:002011-11-27T07:04:50.285-05:00There are several posts of yours that I will never...There are several posts of yours that I will never forget...THIS is one of them.

Instead of trying to even the score- instead of attempts at repayment - choose to show GRATITUDE. <br /><br />That is so perfect and an excellent reminder. Just like your MIL was blessed by your gratitude, and we are as parents, so is our heavenly Father.<br /><br />I find myself also trying to think how i can "repay" and "even things up." How freeing to realize all i need to do is express my true feelings of appreciation and gratitude.Diane Tohlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07249548713095097962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-74502562744720303032011-11-26T23:07:35.681-05:002011-11-26T23:07:35.681-05:00Great analogy.
