It is a blessing - a huge blessing. But, I often struggle with the frustrations of her sensitivity. She notices every little detail and if things are off just a little bit, it can drive her crazy. On the other hand, she notices when my glass is empty and refills it, or if I don't feel well, she is the first to get me a blanket and a cool washcloth. That sensitivity when turned outward is something that blesses many people.Heather https://www.blogger.com/profile/03415448097239579759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-321763172328664273.post-71148216023373571392008-04-21T09:53:00.000-05:002008-04-21T09:53:00.000-05:00Thank you Amy,I too have a tender heart, and read ...Thank you Amy,<BR/>I too have a tender heart, and read too much into things that other people do or say, get easily hurt. I never realized exactly why. I think just reading your post today showed me that I too put the expectations on other people that I put on myself.. much like you.<BR/>Sometimes I have really disliked having such a tender heart. I go between guarding it from people and not letting them in, and being too open adn getting trampled on.<BR/>I guess like you I just have to love, do what I can, adn allow others to be themselves as well, whatever that means, no matter what that might mean to my heart. <BR/>Only recently have I really started to open my heart to others without huge expectations, though sometimes they have snuck in there, and been rewarded with a couple of really close, dear friends.<BR/>I will pray the same for you!<BR/>God Bless,<BR/>HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
