thank you for the question. I agree with what Steve said and just

would like to add something. Another aspect of respecting your

actions, as I understand it, is that you pay attention to what you're

doing and try to do perfectly whatever you have decided to do. No

mind-wandering, no internal arguments or planning something else, but

concentration on the task at hand. When soemone speaks to you, you

listen and don't wander off in thought. When you cook, you are aware

of the colours and smells and the abundance in God's creation (and

you look at what you're doing with that knife:). When you take a

rest, you don't continue writing that article in your head. When you

pray, you keep your mind on God. Also, I think, to respect your

actions means that you are aware that it is not your own personal

power that allows you to act and that by yourself you would not be

able to even lift a finger. So we need to listen for instructions. If

not, we will be taught respect because our actions have the wrong

results. to learn to truly respect our actions may well be a

lives-long process

Dear henny ~ how beautifully and with such elegance and simplicity of

understanding. I value what you have said here very much. Blessings ~
