the reason for my day

my boys

my baby

i had no idea david even knew what a double-boiler was, much less how to use one for melting chocolate to hand-dip strawberries to surprise me for mother's day. where did he hide this stuff?! yes, that's a camcorder! you will most likely watch baby videos posted on this blog in the future.

C-Biscuit said...: You should hold this against David anytime he wants you to cook something for him because he is helpless. If you can double boil chocolate for dipping strawberries, I'm pretty sure you can make a grilled cheese.; May 15, 2011 at 6:51 PM

love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. no one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. by his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. by making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.

our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. it is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. we ask ourselves: who am i to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? actually, who are you not to be? you are a child of god. your playing small does not serve the world. there's nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel secure around you. we are born to make manifest the glory of god that is in us. it's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. and as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. as we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
