  • 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.

Ok Ill bite -

My Blessing is this forum, that may sound cheesey but in 2 days I have been encourage, blessed, voted for, (never been voted for). And I think in some way I've been able to encourage others.

Heb 10:24 - Says...and let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works....

Ok I've been stirred thanks everyone! :clap:

Wow...I am always in need of some blessings...I mean who isn't! But I have really been blessed for quite awhile I guess you could say. Kinda personal but not really I guess...anyways God has blessed me w/ not having been sick to where I would have to go see a doctor. Not having a job and thus no insurance...he has really taken care of my body and blessed me in that sense. Especially if you consider the fact that I play basketball about 3 times a week at about 3 1/2 hours a shot w/ some rough players...and cold flu season going on now...yeah I have been really blessed.

Thank You God!...You are awesome!

I have been blessed with a job (after losing one that I thought was terrific) and was out of work 1.5 years! I've been blessed with a church that I will always call home, new friends, and old ones! I've been blessed with finding two new online Christian forums that allow me to freely release pent up frustrations, anger, sorrow or happiness!

I feel blessed to just be me at times!

Good morning!!

I was blessed by God yesterday in the grocery store  ~ yes!!  The grocery store.  Here's the story;

After I picked up my daughter from preschool, we went to the store, along with my 3 yr old daughter, to pick up a few things.  Well, the lines were long due to the holiday, and people had on their crabby faces.  My 5 year old started singing a song, "Go tell it on the mountain".....and kept repeating it over and over...

Go tell it on the mountain

that Jesus Christ is born......

I started looking around at the reactions (not even thinking of telling her to stop ;)),

and people were actually watching, listening and smiling!!  Praise the Lord for the little ones!!!

Mark 10:14

...He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these"

I was so filled with love for my sweet precious daughter, and for the Lord, for it was Him that gave her to me for safe keeping, and to raise her up in Him.

He is good.  All the time.

~Peace in Christ

Thank you Graft!  Not just for the blessings, but for your kind words {{{hugs}}}

I felt so truly blessed just listening to her and seeing the people's reactions.  My little one, her name is Faith, has such a sweet, innocent and pure love for Jesus ~ it makes my eyes well up just listening to her :)

I pray that the innocent little seeds she planted yesterday will come to fruition....

~Peace in Christ

Aw. How nice. Kinda reminds me of the blessing raffle I did last week.

Well I suppose I need some blessings considering I gave out all my 45,000 of them a few days ago. Although, I can never seem to remain at 0 for very long, heh. People are too nice on this board (minus the apologetics forum ;)).

To answer your question though, God has blessed me with everything I have and everything I am. I don't think I can describe it any more than that.

You are certainly an unusual young man, and I am very proud of the witness you bear. God has many blessings in store for you.

Okay, me blessed cuz me lost me job? Hehe it’s true! I’m cool though. See, this year was bland, and it was getting to me mid way through this year. Closest friends have moved away, church went through another split, job always interfered with everything! Well they laid off over 1000 people this year and those of us left… we were nothing. Anyhoot, I was feeling so down but then one day while I was thinking on it all, I heard a quiet voice say “Hold on till December”. I thought OK I just heard a voice say “hold on till December”… So I said Okay.

I thought about that a lot till recently when I got railroaded at my job after 5 years as a machinist in their service… well I’d stress but I felt good. It was clear because I had a job offer 100 miles north that pays more and will give me that break that I seriously needed from my present location and harsh situations with my family in this area, which was the biggest factor of my stress.

So God leads and I follow. I have some family up there that I look forward to spending some time with. I’m also looking forward to the fellowship up there because there are a lot of Christian coffee shops and Christian music clubs that we just don’t have here. So I’m looking forward to what’s in store. God’s been good to me.

Peace
