One of the things she has said is that "motherhood is a great equalizer". Of course there are many other "equalizers", but no matter how rich / poor / free-spirited / anti-bacterial-loving we are...spit-up is spit-up, tantrums are tantrums, and we all love our babies like nothing else.<br /><br />I loved reading Julia's side of this on her blog...and it made me think I might need to come spend a few days with you myself, if nothing else to feel the grass between my toes. :)<br /><br />Thanks for this beautiful post!MandyE (Twin Trials and Triumphs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02510155408149227364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368428695847869715.post-55398434809944036032011-09-16T17:11:18.766-04:002011-09-16T17:11:18.766-04:00I think it is very, very easy to fall into the tra...I think it is very, very easy to fall into the trap of judging others that way. Very easy indeed and I have done it so many times too. The article I read today pinpointed it well, sometime we're judging and we don't even know it.<br />"Pride is so deceptive that we won't know our judgments are even judgments. We will think we are just making observations and feeling pity, when in fact, we are looking down on others from our lofty place of confident enlightenment."<br />Your prayer is one that I should be praying more often.

Your prayer ...Thank you, thank you for this post. <br /><br />Your prayer speaks to me in ways I can't even begin to share.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13228741086111001389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368428695847869715.post-91956577747843099722011-09-14T14:29:00.684-04:002011-09-14T14:29:00.684-04:00A long time ago, I was telling my friend Laila abo...A long time ago, I was telling my friend Laila about you. She said she thought it was so cool that we'd met this way. She said it was probably the way everyone should meet, b/c those "first impressions" we have of people when we see them---are gone. We don't see what car they drive up in. We don't see what brand of clothes they wear. We just see their heart---and isn't that what matters?! <br /><br />This was incredibly insightful to me---Laila was complete right! <br /><br />I'd love to do a response post to this, if that's okay with you---I learned a lot from you too.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227900123820813021noreply@blogger.com
