It goes without saying in the Seale household that the greatest compliment anyone can attribute when describing a new person is, "They just remind me of Aunt Kathy, you know?"
Just the mention of her name always brings back too many memories to count. The casseroles dropped by when a parent is sick or when family is coming to town. The handwritten cards I can always look forward to on my birthday or during finals. The sweetest hug you have ever known with a voice like a summer breeze reassuring you, "I love you so much." Always. She is the best example I know of a person who lives out a love for both God and man.
Mother of two. Chef extraordinaire. Recent grandmother. Faithful wife. Friend and sister to all she meets.
Life Principles:
1. Great people talk about ideas. Average people talk about things. Small people talk about other people. (From her a magnet on her mother's refrigerator) If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. There's really no need to talk about people- ever.
2. The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew no one would find out. Keep that in mind in all your actions.
3. Always put people before things. Don't worry about acquiring so much stuff, because you get to a point in your life where all you want to do is pare down your possessions. More is not always better. People are what really matter in life.
4. Don't let things pile up. Debt, weight, pieces of paper, anything. If you are diligent about staying on top of things, it will save you time and grief in the long run.
5. Don't rush things! There will be time.
6. Always put God first. Remember that he is orchestrating everything, and nothing is out of his control. Trust in that and be satisfied.
