One step different

Tonight was the Bridge's Christmas Dinner. In a brief exhange with Carlo he mentioned that for both men and women, when it comes to being attracted to members of the opposite sex, it's not perfection that we desire, but difference. One step different than what we already have. It just keeps us unhappy enough to question God's blessings to us.

Let us all be thankful for God's blessings. If you're single, be joyful for that singleness, for it is a gift from God. If you're married, thank God for your partner, as God himself chose that person for you, and they are the greatest gift he will give you in this life. And if you are in a relationship, thank God for the priviledge to learn, and to share in another's life. Do not shy away from the responsibility before you.

Be thankful and joyful in what you have. Do not look for the one step different, trust in the Lord.
