I have 1,021 Facebook
"friends".............
Today, my daughter
learned a valuable (and VERY HARD) lesson on what friendship is and is not and
what happens when we choose things that are not so good. I have tried to tell
her (but I am still learning myself), that not everyone means you well. They
take great joy in seeing you fail and mess up. Not everyone will always have
your best interest at heart. They actually light up when discussing you with
others. Not really sure if this is a way of not focusing on their own issues or
they really have some serious mental issues. All I know is my daughter and I
both recently found this out the hard way...and that is a hard pill to swallow
from people you call "friends".
Ephesians 4:16: From
him [Christ] the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting
ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its
work.
It is important that
we surround ourselves with people that will help build us up, support us, that
help us make those right choices and reminds us that of God’s love for us.
The Bible says "to
overcome evil with good" and the way to do this is making a effort to change our
thoughts and actions to positive one. Really ask, WWJD??? And then do it. Ask
God to allow the Spirit to move in our lives, to guide us in the right direction
so that our future will be secure with Him. I saw a shirt on FB that said " I
got 99 problems, but my faith ain't one". As long as God is on my side, I know I
(and my kids) will be okay.
It's been a long
time. The writing thing. So much has happened and is still happening. I
appreciate all the emails and calls. They meant alot. And the writing, well, I'm
working on it. Be patient with me. Praying that you all have been well and that
you are still being that "blessing to someone".
Until next time.......
