Sisters in Zion

"...we simply cannot call ourselves Christian and continue to judge one another—or ourselves—so harshly. No mason jar of bing cherries is worth a confrontation that robs us of our compassion
and our sisterhood."

Patricia Holland, One Thing Needful.  

Oh how I loved listening to that quote again tonight during the Women's Conference.  It was amazing.  It reminds me how important we each are as children of a Loving Heavenly Father.  He loves each and every one of us.  Not matter what we do for a living, or how good we are at it.  No matter if we like to sew or bake or clean.  No matter if we are perfect or just in training.  He still loves us.  We can be so hard on ourselves.  We can be so judgmental, not just with others, but also with ourselves.  Sometimes, I think the greatest gift we can give anyone, is just a little more kindness.  I believe that is exactly what Jesus taught.  He wants us to love one another, strengthen one another, lean on one another, and help one another through the marvelous and often difficult journey.  That is what being a Sister of God is all about.
