Consider This.....

Imperfect Prose with Emily take a look you will be blessed.
In a perfect world, would there be an absence of mercy, grace, and compassion, for they were no longer a necessity?.......


Or possibly would it be a perfect world because they were in abundance?

  4. they would be embodied by each of us. we wouldn't have to try; we'd emanate these qualities. oh, how you make me hungry for heaven. this poetry sings. and the quote--mother teresa is dear to me. thank you, beautiful carrie.

  6. Such a compelling question and the grasping of hands with Mother Teresa's quote is quite moving---makes me want to do even more to glorify His name.
