Giving
Give to those who are having trouble, to those whose thoughts are confused, something of your sympathy, your prayers, your time, your love, your thought, your self. Then give of your own confidence, as you have had it given to you by the grace of God. Give of yourself and of your loving sympathy. Give your best to those who need it and will accept it. Give according to need, never according to desires. Remember that the giving of advice can never take the place of giving of your self.
Isaiah 41:18
I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the middle of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
Carole- You are most welcome. I hope you and Bill are doing well.
Roy- As a former teacher, that was pathetic. What is being taught???
Thank you for the Giving post and the scripture. That ushers in the true meaning of one aspect of Christmas. Of course, it applies to every day most of all.
God bless all who post or just read.
Lonely
We all have days when we feel lonely. Every move we make has an effect that touches all the people around us. On an even more subtle level, when we share space with another person, we often pick up on their energy, feeling how they feel and attuning to them, whether we mean to or not. This is what we mean when we say a mood or a feeling is contagious. We cannot help but be part of the realities of the people around us because we take form from the same energetic force, and this force unifies all life. This force is the light that encourage us to move toward, and it is the light we will dissolve into when we move beyond our individual egos.
If loneliness is a temporary condition based on an incomplete understanding of what we are made of, we can think of its presence as a catalyst for exploring our ideas about reality. We can respond by testing the boundaries we believe separate us from the life within and all around us. If we test them, we will discover that they are not so solid after all and that we can never really be alone.
Jesus has promised that.
Carole and Roy, Thank you for your posts.
Dlane, Hoping for the best for your husband.
God Bless each of you. Let His Love shine down upon you.
I am asking for prayer for our financial burden to lessen. We are doing all that we can do. That is the only way I know how to express my request.I pray daily for situations to better. What is so difficult is the lack of jobs around here. Our grandson is doing an outstanding job where he works. Thank you!!
God IS always good. God Is always great.
Carole- Thank you. What a difference a day makes. All is better. I must keep in mind- God's time is not my time.
I understand your feelings about loved ones who have gone before us. Christmas is always a reminder because it usually involves family members' celebration of Christ's birth. I miss my family and will continue to until we are reunited in Christ. Just what I believe.
Diane- My prayers for you and your husband.
Roy - Thank you for all the inspiritional posts you willingly share.
Lynn- I miss you so much. I hope you and yours are all doing well. We need beauty on here!!! I am still battling posting gifs. Lost brain cells????
I am asking for prayer for reganshoes (Deb).
Have heard from her and she is not doing well.
Prayers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God Bless.
I would have to say these are the best sheep herders I have ever seen!
Remember the Kaleidoscope when we were kids?
This is really incredible ! How amazing that someone could not only create this, but make it to change when you move your mouse/cursor...or you can just sit back and let it change by itself. Either way it is awesome.
IT IS TRULY AMAZING.
Be sure to run your mouse over the screen slowly. Go to the center point, all the corners and along the edge for different effects.
