I was talking to Mentor J last night and something he said really struck me.

When I look at the behavior of Older Boy and how much help he needs I still love him and want the absolute best for him.  I know that he needs more help that I can give, but I am willing to fight for him every step of the way until I don't have any more to give.

Mentor J said that he looks at it and thinks about how God must feel similarly about us.  He must look at us and our behaviors.  The difference is that He can do all things.  He loves us unconditionally.  He fights for us.

It gave me a little different perspective...which I desparately needed.

Praises for perspective.
