  • 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.

Today I got blessed with getting a new bike!

My parents in-law know someone who have two bikes they planned on giving away to the Christian secondhand shop where my father in-law works voluntarily, and they thought of me since my earlier bike got broken many months ago. This is a very good bike, from the brand GIANT, very well taken care of as well.

I feel very blessed by God, who provides for us, prepares for us and blesses us every day before we have prayed for this!

So I just wanted to share this with you! Consider it a great joy even with the small blessings given to you during a day too! :clap:

Ps: And the price was good, not too expensive either.

Thank you Emily! :hug:

When we think of everything God provides and blesses us with every day, this will also make us feel more grateful toward Him!

Sometimes we dig ourselves too much down into our own worries in life, that we end up not seeing what blessings God has prepared for us during a day.

This world is better at pointing at what you don't have as well as what is negative in your life, or seen as bad and negative in this world, instead of being happy in what you have and get.

The most happy families aren't always the ones who have the most material things, a family which may not have as much of the material goods may be happier because they have more love for one another, as well as being content with what they already have and get. :tutu:

AWESOME!!!!!! You're inspiring others, like me, to ride a bike now :D

I am glad I am inspiring you to want to bike. :grinning: Maybe a biking trip could be nice? Do you live in a nice place with much nature around you? Or close by to you? I would like to go on a biking trip sometime, I think it would be very enjoyable as well as one would experience and see new places! :blush:

I know my parents in-law enjoyes doing this at times, and I think it seems very nice!

I live in the city, with lots of traffic, but it wouldn't be impossible.

Yes, biking is nice. No gas, and great for a workout. :D

Sure, or you could bike out of the city to another area? Or is it maybe a very big city?

I fully agree with you on your second reply here! :oldthumbsup:

Congratulations on your new bike! That's wonderful :clap: Biking is a great hobby not only for sports according to Netparents but for socializing as well)

Thank you for your reply! And affirming for me about how God provides for our every needs! As well as blesses us! Every day! :)

I also got just done writing this bible verse with smileys added to it into chat;

"And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others." (2 Corinthians 9:8)

:)
