When it comes to "beautiful flaws," we all have them even if we choose to not be aware of them. One thing I've learned in life is that many times our greatest attributes, can at the same time be our greatest weaknesses if we don't pay attention.
A couple of examples from my own life: I tend to be a generous person, especially among those who I care for (an admirable trait most would say) but several times I've allowed that generosity to enable someone else to maintain their own destructive behaviors that got them into a bad situation and my generosity with them usually was to my own financial detriment. I am likewise extremely loyal, but likewise that admirable trait can end up being a bad thing when it keeps us in a friendship or relationship that is unhealthy and as a result detrimental to us in the long run.
Giving to a fault, eh, oncefell ? Me too. I have a warehouse and I've let people work in it and been stolen from and I really did treat them right, yet they , just recently, in fact, someone I helped lead to a good life, understanding Lord more, robbed me of several thousand dollars of stuff. But, this is what I learned from it, she has a tough life, she carried a child for 9 months and had kid born but couldn't keep it , because she is not able to get herself into a stable life. Very sad.
But, yes, I look.at situation of being fleeced, I've too done things in my time not perfect yet God has bestowed mercy so I haven't seen her around since stealing but she is transient and will likely be around again. I will let the Lord lead but I will let her know that I'm not sure why you victimized me but I know, like Joseph, that what Satan intended for evil God did for good. And he has, deslite losing all that Dewalt and computer stuff, I am blessed and have three storage places where my nicer stuff is and so I thankful for that and,refently God gave me big purchase that should be tremendous way I can bring glory to.Him, h-h, maybe, right here, to all my Christ peep notmydudes and miladies.
I guess that Gid just lets me know that He,is in control, I can lose a,lot of stuff and I just kept thanking Him for how He has my life in control and, despite a loss, I had more and, most importantly, ALL my stuff doesn't matter one bit.

Nods, it strikes me odd that you don't open up more, but, when you do, like awhile ago talking about your dad and such and this story of grandma wanting you it really does come out beautiful.
