Is anyone else having a challenge of doing things scriptural, verses what the secular world says. As in scripture says to put others before me whereas the secular world says put me first. I know what is right, just wondering if others may struggle with this. And how do we mourn the loss of ourselves without sinking into depression? How do we have joy in the midst of our trials and tribulations? It seems that as time passes my patience doesn't hurt as much, (must be experience), but still everyday I start wearing down where my patience begins to hurt a little and I am struggling not to let it be seen. I spend a lot of time in prayer and in the word, that is the only way I have the strength to do this, putting myself aside. But as a faulty human being, I am still in a struggle and seek like minded individuals who understand. May God bless all those who are loving their loved ones to the best of their ability.
It does mean the world to me when you say that I help you....more than you'll ever know! So thank you 100 fold! And yes, social skills are taught when a person is in their growing years, though I don't enjoy events where I'm talked about as soon as I've left or the fact that at my special number birthday event, I see a social media photo of them saying "sister time" and it doesn't include me only because I'm just a sister-in-law. As a result, I stay away from further events that could be deemed hurtful. You're so right. Just because a person steps in a house of worship or claims to be a Christian, they may be fooling only themselves.
Those Mary & Martha products are all faith-based. I loved so many of them, making 3 orders, 2 of which were large. My two friends who are reps of the company are so Godly-one is expecting baby #2 at high risk any day now!
Much love back to you, dear smeshque and hug that dear mom of yours!
That is so unkind of the sil's. I am glad you avoid situations like that, as I hate to think of you being hurt by unkind and ungrateful people.
I do love the M&M products, its hard to narrow down choices. They are good gifts for others as well.
Will be praying for your friend expecting #2. I do hope all goes well. And I will tell others I know about the M&M products. I hope they do well.
I will give my Mom a hug, she loves hugs. I will tell her it is from you.That will bring her joy.
Joy and peace to you my dear friend.
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”
Philippians 1:6
Gershen, I totally agree with you about not haveing to be in an acutal church to talk to God. I have been to some Churches that are what they preach. Havent found any lately.
Zipster, I understand your frustration. but the words about going to hell and the absence of certain religious type people is not from God. You know when he speaks. Those type of words are to confuse and control you. there is not one person on this earth who had the power to dictate who goes to hell. I am not well read as far a the bible is concerned but I am very spiritual in my heart and soul. that is just meaness. Stay strong and focused on God. I hope and pray you son finds his path. The path changes sometimes in life and at least he is aware that he needs to find his way. I wont go on and on but would like to say I am on a new path and continually pray for guidance and help and protection. I try to stay in prayer in one way or another.
LL-Always a blessing received when you write. So sorry they made your daughter cry, that was not nice at all. I do hope you get some rest and wake refreshed in the morning and that your consult goes well. Much love and prayers, Dear Llama(HUGS)
DD-I am so glad you will be visiting the verses, they are great nutrition for our spirit. I like to say soul food. I am glad you are on a new path and I will keep you in my prayers, that you receive the guidance you seek. You are very correct, there is no one on this earth that has the power to say who is going to hell. We have only one judge. I do hope you can find a biblical church that you may receive love and support in your path. May God bless you DD in your journey, love and prayers.(HUGS)

Psalms 19:1
Made me think of your fire devastation you stopped. :)
There has been so many fires around the state, and these high winds have been not helping. The Lord sent some rain today that I am hoping helped the fighters, and just praying no one gets hurt. This evening outdoors was so smoky as the wind is blowing it in. Hope they get all the fires under control. Bad thing.
But hey, You got to stop one. You are a fire extinguisher. :)
Always in my prayers.
I ordered it and it is wonderful. I did not want to put Mom in a facility but I was
so overwhelmed with not being able to manage her. This chair helps her get up out of the chair, then I can assist her to the commode beside the chair. Then I can use my homemade harness to lift her up from the commode and return to the chair. The lift chair gets her sat again. From that position she can go into the bed position (I had to have help to program the bed position). The only time I have to have someone else help is to use a drawsheet to get her in the right place and turn her to sleep on her side at night. She is on hospice so we do not have to worry about the side effects of sleeping in the chair. I am so thankful for this sight and the wonderful idea that has kept my mom at home. I think we
can keep her the rest of her journey in that chair. It has massage and heat to
help her be comfortable. The cost was less than 1 month at a facility so it was
a bargain. God has used someone on this sight to bless my Mom. Thank you
to that angel.
Looked it up and I believe the person who suggested it was dbcatz.
and the topic of the thread was :Any advice getting Mom in and out of bed who is having trouble.
Had two very good sermons today. One on what is your treasure., and lay up your treasures in Heaven, not on earth. The other was nothing is impossible with God.
Its amazing to think if we could just have faith as a grain of mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible to us. It shows that even as much faith as we have, it is only a little bit, and like a certain person in scripture, we should ask God to increase our faith.
Much love and prayers to and for you.
I wish you and your mom a blessed evening!
My Mom had 6 , the oldest was special needs. So I know first hand the amount of work and the labor of love that goes into that. Your friend is a good woman, as is my Mom. My oldest brother wasn't supposed to live past 6, but she took care of him for almost 50 years before the Lord took him. He was such a blessing.
Your mom was Superwoman, too, with 6, one of them being special needs! God bless her!
1 Corinthians 2:9 - But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Hebrews 13:6
So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" (NIV)
Are we not blessed to have the Lord as our helper. And there is no fear in the Lord.
Blessings...
Psalms 127:3
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
