When we see a neighbour who is created to the image and likeness of God, ought we not to say one to another: Observe and see this creature, how he resembles the Creator!
Saint Francis de Sales

    Yeah….not me so much. But for a saint (and how BEAUTIFUL St Francis de Sales is – love him!) everything and everyone they see only increases their love of God. I’m not there yet, but I do hope to be like this one day!!!

    Reblogged this on multicolouredsmartypants and commented:
    The day before yesterday my son, frustrated at the flies buzzing around his bedroom, asked exasperatedly, “Why did God make flies?!”
    I told him, “God made flies because he loves them.”
    My son looked at me like I was mad. “I hate them!”
    “That’s ok, ” I smiled, “God still loves them.”
    Of course, having autism, my son couldn’t leave it there, but the point is still valid.
