  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hope all hvae a good time of praise at church this Sunday. For once I was actually alert. Today we had one of our rare socials after the service. We went to a hotel for a buffet lunceon, the hotel is literally a minutes walk from our church. We decided to have a triple celebration, St Andrew's Day, start of Advent and Christmas next month. We had a good time, it's good to have a social, I get to meet and chat with those I hardly get a chance to speak on an average Sunday. I am usually counting the collection or checking over the weekly church bills for payment.
On the 18th December we are having our Carol service, another night to look forward to, Carols, mulled wine and mince pies!:)

on Dave's request, I'm posting now here, even as I'm mildly allergic to mindless ^_^ "chit-chat".
However,
the following is VERY-important: Notice Dave's *new avatar*: Yes, sirree, he's a *shepherd :clap: herding his sheep...*.

Ask him, how many? ;) I'm sure he can tell you, as well as each of their Names :thumbsup:, & vital statis-tics.
-
well, we all know what I herd --> skaters, over to the barrier :D LOL

Hm, so what is everybody else UP to?? Do tell... :p

Good Afternoon as it is 12.57pm. Hello everyone. I can hardly believe I went to sleep at 8.30pm last night and this morning asked my hubby "Did I get up later last night?"
"NO"
I couldnot believe I slept from 8.30pm until just before 8am this morning. Never has that happened. Must have been a need then!

Maybe it was all that reading.

I hope today you find a few of your "to be done" boxes ticked. I am off to tick a couple of mine.. bye for now. see you maybe later.

I share it here:


JesusSeason2.jpg

With 3 weeks before Christmas REMEMBER:


Jesus is Better than Santa


Santa lives at the North Pole.


JESUS is everywhere.


Santa rides in a sleigh


JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.


Santa comes but once a year


JESUS is an ever present help.


Santa fills your stockings with goodies


JESUS supplies all your needs.


Santa comes down your chimney uninvited


JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.


You have to stand in line to see Santa


JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.


Santa lets you sit on his lap


JESUS lets you rest in His arms.


Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is
"Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"


JESUS knew our name before we did.
Not only does He know our name,
He knows our address too.
He knows our history and future
and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.


Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly


JESUS has a heart full of love.


All Santa can offer is HO HO HO


JESUS offers health, help and hope.


Santa says "You better not cry"


JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you".


Santa's little helpers make toys


JESUS makes new life,
mends wounded hearts,
repairs broken homes
and builds mansions.


Santa may make you chuckle but


JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.


While Santa puts gifts under your tree


JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.


It's obvious there is really no comparison.


We need to remember
WHO, Christmas is all about.


We need to put Christ back in Christmas.


Jesus is still the reason
for the season.


May the Lord Bless and Watch over you
and your loved ones this Christmas 2008


And may He prosper and bless
the work of your hands in the New Year.


God bless you all.

--------------------



Thank you Bro'​

Hi Jean

I am indeed 'sympathetic' to your presently succumbing-to
the burdens of the flesh
If, what I say could have beneficial-influence upon your 'cross'
I would implore you to turn-away from your present 'focus'
to pray to Him and to engross yourself in more-pleasurable experiences

There is, a right-way and a wrong-way, to undertake 'everything'

When we follow in His footsteps, the way is 'clear' ___more... easy going
and is lit by His light and none of the shadows, of the 'unenlightened'


It will, be 'little-consolation' to you, to learn
that I sent a similar PM to someone-else [at the same time]
where that member found themself using alphabetical progression
[instead, last letter]

Please, please... do not feel 'pilloried' by my PM
I sought, only, to bring the 'path' back into-view for, you

Only, He, is so perfect, that He cannot make a mistake

Whilst, this is not the prayer request thread
I :pray: that instead of the valley you now walk within
that you will 'turn-around' to the light
and look to and beyond the present horizons
to witness the beautiful world that He has created for man
and be assured, that even better awaits us
with Him, within the mansions of, heaven above

For we, have such a short time to live, this human life
and the things of earth... mean nothing in heaven

Be comforted, wrap your attention upon and around others
and PUT-DOWN this 'rough' burden, that you carry

:wave:

:hug:

your Bro'

Again, whilst this, is not the prayer-request thread

This eMail's content, has a relevance that covers recent past posts

Subject: FW: Daddy's Empty Chair




--- On Fri, 12/5/08,







DADDY'S EMPTY CHAIR


A man's daughter had asked the local minister
to come and pray with her father.


When the minister arrived, he found the man
lying in bed with his head propped up on two pillows.








An empty chair sat beside his bed.


The minister assumed that the old fellow
had been informed of his visit.
'I guess you were expecting me, he said.








'No, who are you?' said the father.
The minister told him his name and then remarked,
'I saw the empty chair and I figured you knew
I was going to show up.'








'Oh yeah, the chair,' said the bedridden man.
'Would you mind closing the door?'
Puzzled, the minister shut the door.

'I have never told anyone this,
not even my daughter,' said the man.
'But all of my life I have never known how to pray.


At church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer,
but it went right over my head.'
I abandoned any attempt at prayer,'
the old man continued, '
until one day four years ago, my best friend said to me,


'Johnny, prayer is just a simple matter
of having a conversation with Jesus.
Here is what I suggest. 'Sit down in a chair;
place an empty chair in front of you,
and in faith see Jesus on the chair.
It's not spooky because he promised,

'I will be with you always'.


'Then just speak to him in the same way
you're doing with me right now.'

'So, I tried it and I've liked it so much
that I do it a couple of hours every day.
I'm careful though .
If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair,
she'd either have a nervous breakdown
or send me off to the funny farm.'


The minister was deeply moved by the story
and encouraged the old man to continue on the journey.
Then he prayed with him, anointed him with oil,
and returned to the church..





Continued below because of character per-post limit imposed

Two nights later the daughter called
to tell the minister that her daddy
had died that afternoon.



Did he die in peace?' he asked.


Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock,
he called me over to his bedside,
told me he loved me and kissed me on the cheek.
When I got back from the store an hour later, I found him .
But there was something strange about his death.
Apparently, just before Daddy died, he leaned over
and rested his head on the chair beside the bed.
What do you make of that?'


The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said,
'I wish we could all go like that.'









Just send this to four people or more,
and do not break this, please.


Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.




I asked God for water, He gave me an ocean.*



I asked God for a flower, He gave me a garden.*



I asked God for a friend,
He gave me all of YOU...



If God brings you to it,
He will bring you through it.









Happy moments, praise God.



Difficult moments, seek God.



Quiet moments, worship God



Painful moments, trust God.



Every moment, thank God.









Pass this message to four people or more except for you and me
and allow them to be as blessed by this message as you were!

Thank you Mary

I wonder if, something like this can be of use to anyone else here
