Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.  ~1 Peter 4:8

Consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.  ~James 5:20

When we were lost on our journey, I said, "the struggle is real" and Kenna corrected me and said, "Mom, the struggle is SO real, it is REAAALLLLY REAL!"....we all have those days...sometimes they last for whole seasons.  I found out some shocking news this week while I was away and was saddened by some REAAALLLY REAL REALITY that is confronting some friends of mine.  In the middle of challenging times, it is easy to pick up the stones and start throwing them where you think the blame should be cast or, as an observer, to stay stone cold silent in a pitching stance, but I have and am learning that regardless of where any blame could be hurled....love always makes more of an impact.

When I look back on my challenging times in life so far....whether I felt wronged, or threatened, or misunderstood or misrepresented....I am so thankful for the people in my life who could have thrown stones at me, but chose to drop them so they could really reach out to me.  They are beautiful.
