Let me ask you a question. Has your desire to be central in someone’s life every caused you to be harsh toward someone else?

 

Candice Curry wrote a letter to her daughter’s stepmom, Ashley. Initially she hoped Ashley would be a terrible beast and that her daughter would disrespect her. But then Candice admitted that Ashley was an asset to her daughter. Her daughter got a mom and a bonus mom who live in peace. The letter caught the attention of the national media. Why is that? Because the courage to put others first is rare. Sometimes for love to win we have to stop trying to be central and just be a servant.
