It's nice to just chat and meet everyone. I've had a few rather stressful days but survived smiling and feeling peace in my heart so I'm very thankful for that. I deal with illness quite a bit. Nothing deadly thank goodness but chronic. Lots of fatigue and pain so when I have stuff on my plate it can feel a bit heavy. I like finding things to smile and laugh about so it keeps me grounded. Of course dwelling on the Bible and pouring my heart out helps as well. Thank goodness we can go to God as is. Right now all I have to do is relax so I'm glad about that. We all have our days.![]()
Thanks for the reply. It's really kind and beautiful. Some times the simplest words are the most profound. I'm glad you've joined us. I am one of those people who don't mind listening and chatting. Good christian fellowship is such a big part of the church.
Totally agree. its a great way to connect. Even if you may not have something in common with another person, you can empathize and offer a listening ear, and suggest and provide prayer. That has always been my take on things.
I see so many threads and posts about divorce, affairs, addictions in the marriage, strife, struggles, issues and I can't really relate to much of that because i have not gone through it. I can only sympathize because I know of plenty people around me going through the same things and I 'see' what it does to them.
I love to fellowship but a big part of that also is learning how to extend your heart to be able to have compassion. Because anyone can give advice and assume its what that person needs, but it takes a humble and patient person to show love toward someone who's really struggling and just needs a sincere friend to help them from day to day. I'm still learning to do this.
