They dont ring the front doorbell. They slip in the back. They dont care if theres clutter on the floor. Theyll either help you pick it up, or step over it to pour you each a cup of coffee. How do these people do it? Perhaps the key to the back door of our hearts is simply acceptancethe kind of love that would just as soon hug you in a tattered bathrobe as in your Sunday best. Such people leave behind their expectations of how others should be and what they should do.

To them, every person is buried treasure to be discovered and enjoyed. Differences are a source of delight. Evaluations, judgments, and makeovers are not their job. Loving acceptance is. When such a person takes me into her heart, it is certain that she cannot stay long out of mine. Susan Lenzkes Cast your cares on the LORD

See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
