  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    Nothing helps with the loss of my husband

    pnktulip April 24 will be two years ago that I lost my husband. He was my husband, my best friend, my everything. He was diagnoised with lung cancer; exactly one month after his diagnosis I was sitting in his memorial service. No time to get ready! We have no children and my brother who is...

    fear

    I need prayer for peace and comfort. April 24 will be two years that I lost my husband. I am 52 and very lonely. I am trying so hard to trust God and not worry about so much or be so afraid; but it is very difficult to do sometimes. It is scary being alone without a husband, children or...

    My label

    Blackribbon, I know what you mean. I am 52 and it has been almost two years since I lost my husband. I don't belong anywhere. We did not have any children and my only family is a brother who is 18 years older and 500 miles away. I am too young to fit in with most "widows". I am too old to...

    Grief from loss of soulmate.

    April will be two years that I lost my wonderful husband to cancer. I have no children and nearest family member is 500 miles away. I know you are in an extremely difficult place. I took it not one day at a time, but one hour at a time and some days it was just my goal to make it through the...

    Mother In Law

    I lost my husband 18 months ago. I can tell you your mother in law is in a very bad place. I got so tired of people saying "I will pray for you" and then doing nothing. Prayer is wonderful; Bible verses are wonderful; but what she needs is for the people who love her to put actions behind their...

    need your prayers

    Thanks for your responseand your prayers. It is funny that you mentioned "hinds feet" in your post, reminded me that one of my favorite books as a teenager was "Hinds feet on high places". I may try to find another copy and read it again.

    memoriesbymichelle, I understand exactly what you are saying. I am also 52 and don't look forward to spending the rest of my life alone. It would be so nice to have a male as a friend to do things with. Eventually, I hope God will allow me to get married again. But, I just don't know. I am...

    Christian widow, Thanks so much for your prayers. I know prayers are what will get me through each and every day. There are still days when I doubt His love for me. I see people who are surrounded by family and I have been left completely alone. My husband was really all I had. I think I...

    Christian Widow, Your words have meant so much to me. I find that I am constantly crying out to the Lord. Which strangely enough does mean I am making progress. For the first several weeks I could not even talk to Him. A friend came over one night and was sharing with me that when her first...

    Thank you so much for your response. You are so right. Everywhere I go I miss him and feel empty on the inside. There seems to be no relief. I see others living a happy life ( I know we don't ever REALLY know what is going on behind closed doors, but I also know there are many people who are...

    It has been a little over one year since I lost my wonderful husband. He was only 56 years old, far too young. I know he is with the Lord and I know I will see him again. Somehow I thought that once I reached that one year anniversary everything would suddenly be okay. I guess I was just lying...
