Absolutely beautiful…. great thinking. You are right on so many levels. Damn though now Im hungry.

You are so far ahead of the game honey. Took me till I was 30 and got sick to release Perfection from my life. I realized I couldn’t be perfect any more… dang. My life is so much better for not being perfect. If something drops on the floor.. well… has to wait till the housekeeper can pick it up. I can’t do it. God, is the only one to judge us. Being ok..is good enough.

V: thanks! e2c: *lol* Every girl has a mission, huh? Hope you find that chocolate! SanityFound: aw, thanks, hun! Mssc54: Thanks. And I think you've hit the nail on the head when it comes to false perfection. When we boast of it as if we are somehow responsible for our salvation (or in this case, perfection), we're fooling no one but ourselves.

Lindsey you are such a gifted communicator at your key board. If you communicate as well verbally you have truely been blessed with a special gift.

As I understand divine perfection the price has been paid and there is nothing I can do to further that course. However, that does not give me the right or excuse to “beat other people up” whom I feel either don’t measure up to what I think is God’s will for their life or they believe differently etc. In fact, one may be able to make the arguement that if I do act in such a manner that perhaps my “divine perfection” is a false one. Being prideful and all.

As I read your post I couldn’t help but think about all the children who have become the victims of their mommy’s and dadd’s quest for that perfectly green pasture.

You are wise to have been able to find that place in your soul where perfection really has already been achieved.

YOur daughters are very fortunate to have you to look to for wisdome and guidance.

Wow Lindsey that is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read, seriously this is just incredible! It is ultimately up to us how we define what perfection is. Now with regards to cakes, cookies and that pie you mentioned, well anything that makes my thighs happy is perfect with me *grins*

Absolutely incredible, hands down, one of my favorites by you so far!

I love this post, but it won’t keep me from my quest for the perfect chocolate bar, cake, etc. etc.

The perfection is found in gratitude for the moment…. this post is as close to perfect in reflecting that as it could be….. thanks Lindsey, great message for the day for me!!!! V.
