What's on your mind?

[GodDoesListen55]

Glad to hear it. Are you planning to meet again?

Probably, we have known each other for years so we are just a couple of old friends catching up which is nice because my circle is small therefore it is definitely a welcomed change for me.

 

[TheWhat?]

The sick pride of an abusive relationship.

 

[Niels]

I'm thinking about an upcoming black tie wedding, and the fact that I don't currently have a tux. Although I could buy one tomorrow at the mall, I've been avoiding in-person shopping, and ordering one online doesn't seem like a good idea. It would still need to be tailored. I do have a charcoal gray suit, however, which should go well enough with a black bow tie and black shoes.

 

[GospelS]

Well, to really know something is to master it in a sense, I'd say.

Yet, to be a master doesn't necessarily mean control.

Remember He says not to lord it over people like earthly rulers ...

1 Peter 5:3
Not as lords of the flock, but as you would be excellent examples.

You said something about serving one another...

...so to be like a master servant.

It's better to have two eyes rather than one.

Brother @Tone, if I were controlling then please say it and I will humble myself, seek forgiveness and correct my ways. I won't be offended.

The Lord is my witness, there is no such motive in my heart. I’m content in that He knows I’m innocent as a dove. But I’m also to reconcile and come to terms with my brothers/sisters.

So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First, be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly. Matthew 5.

We live in an online world. People come from different experiences and have varied personalities. My words may have seemed controlling for some, childish for another, or too caring for another. I'm neither a master nor my words necessarily mean there's control. Have I then unintentionally sinned? Then I repent and seek forgiveness.

We are human but we are not with Him. So please help your sister know her wrongs in brotherly affection or rebuke and restore her in the spirit of His gentleness who lives in you. We don’t have to lay a burden and a stumbling block or abandon one another over such things, but talk through it and grow in grace.

I need and desire the fellowship of His people. I seek a community and love above all things. I'm willing to lay down my life for that. I would rather know my faults and mend my ways than being disregarded. Or, the leaven grows and eats up the whole lump. You don’t want your brother/sister to end up like that if they are willing to listen and learn. We have this guidance when in a conflict or misunderstanding.

If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. Matthew 18

If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” Luke 17:3-4

Thank you.

No, you're good, I was still speaking on this post:

What's on your mind?


You've been of great help, rest assured.

I'm still chewing on the private topic, I don't want to answer hastily...I'm learning.

 

[SarahsKnight]

or too caring for another.

I like the too caring part about you most, personally, Miss GospelS.

 

[bèlla]

Your condescending attitude

Can you explain this please?

Probably, we have known each other for years so we are just a couple of old friends catching up which is nice because my circle is small therefore it is definitely a welcomed change for me.

That’s encouraging. The pandemic robbed many of time together and it’s nice to hear of meetings face to face. I think it does the heart good.

 

[angelsaroundme]

When I went to a wedding I wore a nice jacket. Maybe I should have bought or rented a tux. Don't think I've ever worn one.

Given the circumstances the suit makes sense.

Delusion is dangerous. Wanting something doesn’t mean the desire hails from God. Flesh has its own yearnings.

 

[TheWhat?]

The chad/karen debacle. It's just one side of the sickness.

We've exchanged gender, femininity, masculinity and wealth, among other things, for good character. Mother America is nothing unique in this. It's an ancient story: humanity worshiping and serving the created thing more than the creator leads to darkness and primitive ways.

"What will happen to us"
~~~~~~~~~~~
A song written in the beautiful days of the Galilee, on the roof of the tall tower
At Yodfat's Observatory.
Lyrics and melody: Aviv Bachar
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From this pain, we grow
And from the well, we will rise again
Sweet water
From this pain, we grow
We will drink again from the fountain of youth
New water

Because what will come upon us
Come to our aid, you will see
Because in all sorrow
There is also a gate to truth
And every tear on the surface of the water
It is a prayer prayer

And what will the days say?
I ask and have no answer
And where are the years
That we were stronger than life
Still trying

Because what will come upon us
Come to our aid you will see
Because in all sorrow
There is also a gate to truth
And every tear on the surface of the water
It is a prayer prayer

Remember this @GospelS ?

 

[bèlla]

Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead…

There is nothing from the past I long for or want to rekindle. Everything that is meant for this time is already here. Whether I can see it with the naked eye or not. It’s already mine.

I celebrate its unfolding with gladness. Like a bride awaiting her groom. I prepare myself for his arrival and greet him with expectancy.

New report on my progress through RE8 since yesterday. Defeated the third village lord guy at the lake area or whatever that was, with all the windmills and stuff.

SK’s victory dance.

 

[DragonFox91]

Might go to the local amusement park Saturday. We used to go every year but then they stopped adding new rides. I don't think they've added anything new in 10 years. But we haven't been in a while so want to go!

 

[DragonFox91]

Today I found out they're planning on getting rid of the cat in a few months & will start looking for a new home for her. I am sad. She's a sweet kitty. They've had her at least 10-12 years. I'd take her, but she sheds...........We'll see.

She goes back today.

Nah. I'm more this style on victory dances.

And if it were my lady knight comrade @Multifavs , this would probably be more her pose, simple and sweet. ^-^

 

[GospelS]

Remember this @GospelS ?

Yes. You remember Melchizedek???

 

[bèlla]

Nah. I'm more this style on victory dances.

That isn't a dollface! It must be your alter ego.

 

[SarahsKnight]

That isn't a dollface! It must be your alter ego.

Well I was referring to the pose, not the character. ^-^ Just pretend it's this guy doing it, then =>
