ACT lovingly, even though foster kids are often difficult to love, especially when you've your own children are in the mix and getting dumped on.<br /><br />Thanks for the great post, Cheryl.Untamed Shrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07273110800292712897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973269483459581996.post-62983794793941301162011-05-31T23:12:58.537-05:002011-05-31T23:12:58.537-05:00Karen, yes.

If you do him a good turn, you will find yourself disliking him less. . . ."<br /><br />This has been my experience as well. I think the dislike after injuring someone is party due to guilty conscience from injuring someone.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11171063087193671797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973269483459581996.post-29479406467229904862011-05-30T18:37:44.713-05:002011-05-30T18:37:44.713-05:00I'm glad you have found these quotations helpf...I'm glad you have found these quotations helpful, and I hope you get around to writing that post, Leah.

If you injure someone you dislike, you will find yourself disliking him more. If you do him a good turn, you will find yourself disliking him less. . . . </i><br /><br />I have found this to be true for some close of my relationships of mine that were not natural "likes" in the beginning, but once I decided to ignore both what I "felt" and what these persons projected to "feel" about me, and basically "behave as if [I] loved them," I actually gradually did begin to like them, and they, seeing that I was willing to drop my pride enough to really TRY to be friends, that person began to do the same.<br /><br />Thanks for these great quotes.
