I couldn't do grilled chicken for the longest time. Even thinking about it made me want to be sick!

It's really given me a guide about how to respond when I want to be negative or not see the best in people. :) We're definitely imperfect people but when we choose to learn more about the character of Christ and His response to people and situations and imitate His character, I think the quote sums it up, "Christ didn't react but acted in love!" <br /><br />I wish I enjoyed scones while I'm pregnant, but during pregnancy, texture us a huge issue for me and i can't handle the texture of scones. :-/ Eat a few for me! <br /><br />MommySizedHearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05289202506143484118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483833508282652888.post-8705580486192673622015-10-18T21:09:44.772-05:002015-10-18T21:09:44.772-05:00Such a great post!

I'm currently working on my personal progress right now since I didn't get the chance to do it in high school and one of the value experiences I'm working on right now is to not be judgmental and critical and it's been amazing to see how even though you don't necessarily mean to have negatives thoughts about people they just kind of happen! I'm trying to be a lot more like Cinderella myself, and this post was another great reminder to just be a better person... and your scones look delicious ;)Paige Flammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069836120389924817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483833508282652888.post-46319665028982331532015-10-17T13:30:05.890-05:002015-10-17T13:30:05.890-05:00Pia, thanks for your comment!

They are quite a bit like biscuits, just sweeter and with chocolate :) Landen https://www.blogger.com/profile/07577992414976841415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483833508282652888.post-21364821488073571852015-10-17T08:58:21.304-05:002015-10-17T08:58:21.304-05:00What a sweet post!!

Its based on his convocation talk he gave at a university a couple of years ago and became crazy popular or "viral" as some say. But its all about kindness and how the world could use more of it. He talks regrets in his life - not being things one would usually think of (to do with past humiliations, successes, etc) - but rather the opportunities he missed to be kind. Its really very beautiful and has just stuck with me. You can google the speech and read it online anywhere - its worth the few minutes it takes. <br />Anyway, I gotta try this some time (once I get over my scone making fear - mine never turn out) coz I love orange and chocolate and these look beautiful.<br />Happy weekend!Piahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18211577333569614519noreply@blogger.com
