Thanks for this Crystal!!! I have a really sensitive , people pleasing 9 yr old and I just went upstairs to her bathroom and wrote this in her mirror with window crayons!!! Any seed if encouragement and wisdom helps right?
Who said this? Whose quote is this, please?
It was a quote taken from something I was writing recently. So it was from me… though I’m sure other people have said similar things. 🙂
My apologies if that wasn’t clear from the post!
Beautiful lettering. But the quote should read “to try to please everyone.” As it reads right now you are saying that trying and pleasing everyone is sure to lead to misery. However, I am sure everyone knows what you really mean. 🙂
I need you to come and be my editor. 😉
Wait, maybe that should be “come be my editor”? Argh, grammar. 😉
One of my grammar pet peeves..I was coming to comment on that as well! Otherwise beautiful lettering!
Sorry to drive all the grammarians nuts today. And thanks for your gracious overlooking of all my regular grammar errors. I appreciate you all! 🙂
🙂
Exactly!
Pretty lettering as well 🙂
So true! We can keep it so simple by learning to please our Creator first, then everything else will fall into place. Hope you have a wonderful day~
