A Newbie Thread

[rebornfree]

New to the forum, I guess being in 60's counts for this area. So, hello to one and all and look forward to getting to know you.

Welcome Rugged Cross. Yes, being in your 60s does it! I see that you're in the UK too. I'm in NW England, but have lived in other parts of the UK during my nearly 70 years on this planet. I love the fact that we can meet with people from around the world and I think you could say that we are a friendly group. Nice to see you and I hope you enjoy your time here.

Thank you brother, Gillian! It is great to know we are all part of the body of Christ in the Spirit, no matter where we may be living on this earth! Grace, mercy, peace & love from our Lord to you & your family. Mathetes (means disciple/follower) of Christ

Just seeing this no, over a year later. I'm actually female. It's on my profile. Yes, it's wonderful to be able to say we have siblings all over the world. Trusting you and your dad are surviving the virus. We are coming out of lockdown in Northern Ireland, but my son is extremely vulnerable so we still need to be careful and he can only go outside, not another building unless it's for medical reasons.

Blessings.

Gillian

Hi dear Golden Eagles,
I hope I am understanding this correctly: besides our initial introduction, we should intro ourselves here.
I am slowly finding my way around the forum. I think I qualify being 67years of age and a widow since 2019. I look forward to Christian fellowship here. I am from the USA and live in a small village in lower Michigan. I look forward to the blessing and meeting of new friends... Sincerely, MickeyJo

Hi MickeyJo, Greetings from the UK! I live in a town near Manchester, England, and have been a member of CF for many years. I was 55 when I joined Golden Eagles and will be 70 next week. It has been a great blessing and I hope you find it so too. You certainly qualify as it is for those born 1969 or before.

I think we're a friendly bunch and as well as the more spiritual threads, such as the prayer requests and Bible verses, we post on almost anything else that is appropriate for Christians and is within CF rules.

It's nice to see you and have a good time here.

Hi dear rebornfree,
I like the name very much. I can relate to it as in my 30's I became Reborn in my relationship with Jesus.
I became new and free and loved that Our Heavenly Father truly forgives.
My life was never the same and He has helped me through my Mickey journey in life.
I appreciate your 'welcome' and hope to find time to explore. My internet keeps going in and out, so I probably will explore more of the Golden Eagles for another day/night. And in case I miss your birthday due to not being familiar yet with the site, Happy 70th Birthday rebornfree! Sincerely, MickeyJo

Hi MickeyJo, Thank you for the birthday wishes. Despite us being in lockdown here, and having to cancel the party I'd planned, it was a very good day. Praise God!

Regarding my username, when I was asked to provide one I just felt God say "rebornfree" so there it was! I was reborn when I was 20, although I'd always loved God, but went away from Him a couple of years later after my Mum died and I suffered severe depression which I mistakenly thought was from Him ("Sorry Lord"!). However I came back to Him in my early 30s and I agree with you that He does help us through life. I'm glad that you have found Him to be forgiving and you experience the freedom that He gives.

 

[NIrelandGillian]

Welcome to Christian Forums and in particular to Golden Eagles, Joni and Mickey Jo. I hope you both feel blessed here.

I am also in the UK, in Northern Ireland to be precise.

[Sage50]

Hello,
I joined CF in December. Just finally getting past many hurdles and finding my way to learn how to be functional in CF, reading rules and all the notices.
I discovered the ABC Bible Verses thread and felt thrilled to find that, so did a post there.

I hope to connect, make friendly connections, be a supportive member of CF and the Body of Jesus Christ.
thank you for the newbie thread here.

Hi Sage50,

Welcome to Golden Eagles and greetings from the UK.

I hope you are managing to find your way around. I've been a member for nearly 15 years, and have found this a pleasant and friendly forum. It's nice to have you join us, and I hope you enjoy it here.

 

[Sage50]

I am managing to find my way around. Thank you,
So far, this is a very nice place. Wow on 15 yrs! I look forward to the journey to get better acquainted with you and others.

Thank you for the welcome to golden eagles! ️✝️

 

[NIrelandGillian]

Hi again Sage. I just realized it was you I 'spoke' to on the Books forum. Glad you're finding your way round the site ok.

God bless!

Welcome! I spent a few years in Scotland in my childhood (in East Lothian and in Edinburgh) which I remember fondly.

 

[Christmas child]

Thank you Paisios. Edinburgh is lovely and, although I have never lived there, I have relatives in West Lothian. When my niece was learning how to use a computer she always called the mouse ... the moose ... West Lothian accent!

Hi C-Child, I'm glad you found your way here and welcome to Golden Eagles. I've been on this forum for a long time and have found it a friendly place.

We've had a lovely day here too - south of Manchester.

I'm 70 - there are a few of us in our 70s here, as well as the youngsters of 50 or so , and others in between. I hope you enjoy it.
