A friend asked how I was doing yesterday. She knew I had a headache and also asked if I was eating alright and we shared dinner. It was exceptional because we caught up on about twelve years of what we had been doing the best we could. I am not saying everything went really smoothly over that time, but we did manage to see and remember some things we had not thought of before we shared dinner.
For example, the motivation that Jacob has for completing his promise seems to be found in his son and from his father. While Jacob chooses what to do, he is troubled by conflicts with a brother, which is a certain view of matters from his perspective. When the compilation of all the characters is reviewed, some of the conflict dissipates throughout the continuing passages. In discussion, I can learn from Jacob’s insights that unconditional love is a true gift. After all, I would not really share dinner without giving it a lot of thought.
The essence of love is its communicable attributes through loving others but not as perfectly as God, in the words of its self-sacrificing nature, both types of its attributes which make morals from love. I have mentioned this about dinner because of the necessity we ALL have to eat and how we prepare food for each other too. I mean to say, some chefs are really great. (See the photo). Our dinner was very good. So my friend and I were well-nourished while we tried to reconstitute what we had been thinking about.
The following were some ideas given to me for conversation by my daughter’s fiance: Being present for dialogue (with or without participation);
Offering input in dialogue but not assuming any accountability;
Offering no contest to suggestions;
Accepting what is determined by others without any forethought.
We had a nice talk over dinner by considering all of this.
