Also, a little while ago I taught a lesson in relief society where I talked about Holy Envy. There's a bishop in the church in sweden who coined that term and was referring to religion when he used it. "By this Stendahl meant that you should be willing to recognize elements in the other religious tradition or faith that you admire and wish could, in some way, be reflected in your own religious tradition or faith."
So I started thinking about Holy Envy in terms of the relationships that I've had. And some of these are like BF/GF relationships, and some are like bff relationships, but these are some of the things that I have Holy Envy for. I have Holy Envy for:
- W and the way that he is so so so giving.
- J and the way she is bubbly and oh so nice all the days.
- D and how he is such a peacemaker.
- S and the adventures we would always go on.
- B and the way he was my best friend and we could talk about anything.
- A and how grateful she always is.
- M and how she is such a great cook.
- S and how he treated me like a princess
- G and how funny he is.
- R and how accepting he is of everything and everyone.
- D and how ambitious he is.
- K and how she makes everyone feel at ease in any situation.
- S and how focused and self controlled she is.
- M and how he respects my values and the way I live my life, and helps me set them higher.
- D and how passionate he is about the gospel.
- A and how he is so obedient in his life.
- S and the fashion sense that she has.
- A and how she loves learning.
- S and how witty she is.
- V and how goal oriented and organized she is.
- P and how he is always there for me.
- C and how she's my cuddle buddy when i need a good cry.
- C and how close he is with his family.
I could probably go on and on and on and on but can I tell you how good it's been to look back and look at all the good things that I've learned from all the amazing people in my life? How blessed am I! Love it :)
