  • 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

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Needing prayer please...

Are you mocking me??;)

I will pray, my sweets, I know exactly what you are talking about! For me it's like somebody hits the "ON" button an once I begin yelling, I cannot turn it off...

I am trying to discipline myself to say three positive things to my kids before I say a negative (even if it is- you are standing up well-- which is actually sometimes a lie when I'm talking to my son- who is gravitationally challenged!). I am a big- ole- glass half empty person- so I am trying to train myself to be more complimentary. I have also really tried to have recourse to prayer... When things have gone awry- we stop and get out the box of rosaries and pray....sometimes that works, sometimes not...

Anyway-- I will be praying for you- and I share in your struggle- will you pray for me, too??

For the mother's here in OBOB:
May God give you the strength, endurance, and wisdom to set examples for your children. May the Fathers love, together with the Holy Mother, pour forth from you to your beautiful children, that you may find peace throughout the day.
Amen:prayer:

I get like that too sometimes. The weight of the world just blocks out every connection to my charity and patience.
Praying especially for you today...I really hear you.:hug:

Warm regards,
Douglas

Michelle, keeping you in my prayers (and that goes for all here too, mothers or not.) Last night I was so irritable with my older boy, I felt like an absolute worm. You are not alone..
May the Lord bless us all here with strength and peace to carry out those daily tasks that He asks us to do.
:hug:

Michelle, just because your life belongs to Christ, does not mean easy times, hold to Jesus and ask for His intorvention, Bless His Name and Bless your children in His Name. I am a father of 2 young ones, (5 & 2) and I hurt long after I raise my voice and make them cry. I too have and will pray for you. May God be with you in your weakness and give you peace. Always kiss your kids and ask for forgiveness.

God Bless
Richard

Miss Shelby : Of course, I will pray for you. :crossrc:

But listen... One day I had your same problem... only multiple it many, many, times. I have a daycare. lol :D

Anyway, I asked the best Saint there is, to pray with me and for me. I asked God to send the love of Mary, the mother of our Lord, the one who God chose to mother his son, to be with me and teach me.

I knew an instant peace, and it has stayed. :)
