Yes, it seems in our wee way we can actually help. Yes, so LITTLE, and it's covered up fast. I remember the famous 'talk' that Winston Churchill was invited to give in England at a large, famous boy's school.
The huge auditorium was packed with boys. Not very noisy, but still... Churchill was sitting around the front waiting.
It got quieter. The boy's were wondering what would happen.
The Great man went slowly to the podium, waited. Looked out at the sea of fades. Waited some more. Now, you could hear a pin drop.
Winston Churchill BOOMED, ' Never, NEVER give up!!!' And he returned to his seat. To a thunderous standing ovation.
I was just telling Tessa about how people and other things just seem to magically appear, when we most need them... You've just done it again. ^_^ Thank you.
I like your comment much... I'm going through rough seas right now, more so than usual... Thanks for your wisdom, and I think Tessa is Splendid. xo ^_^
Oh, you are lovely. This is a gift, and I take it as one, thank you! I do agree with you, and though I'm struggling a bit, but not really All That Much, *wink!* to not let the winds blow my boat in circles, I also feel a kind of calm, which is coming out of something that I've asked for, for grace, I suppose, and I've felt growing within me just in the past year or so... and it gets better all the time. It's magical, how this all works... Just beautiful. I've always had a little piece of this peace here and there, and surely a cognitive understanding of parts of it, but now it's blooming!! And it helps me not to hate those who try to hurt me. The sky opens up... and rains, and then out comes the sun to permeate everything, everything. I'm getting all poetical now, it's hard to describe these things without sounding a bit goofy, maybe! But I don't care. Thank you, my sister. xo xo Blessings and Love right back atcha. ^_^
Don't you just LOVE Jesus's commands? Love your...friends?
Nuh, uh, your loved ones? Nah, uh. Your ENEMIES. WHAT??
Surely you jest? Jesus never jests. OH!! You mean, do it?
Do it ANYWAY? OH. Very hard to do, but when I do it,
know what? I stay out of misery. Something strange happens.
A real enemy that wishes me harm loses power over me.
But we need to pray for each other that we'll see how critical it is, not to fall in traps. Easy to do. Lord, help me crush any spirit of resistance to Your Word, in Jesus's name, Amen.
And may we seek to then grow in grace. тЭд, peace тЬМ
Sweetness and Light. xo

They got the message.
Now, this message is ours.

Hi, to never give up, it's my belief we sometimes or often need help, or community of somewhat like minded. Never clones but threads of connect.
I think if we're going to win anything in our lives that's important to us, we'll have to sometimes, at least, be there for each other.
The elites...collude, gossip, Vanden...I don't mean that type of community, but supportive, encouraging, enlightening.
I think we must.
I say 'must' because I'm a loner at heart, but this time,
I think I have to set that aside for a while.
I'm thanking Tessa for her work here.
Thank you Joy!!!

If we think together about your apt description of certain kinds of tough times, maybe we can get 'a grip' on ways to cope.
Imagine you have your smallish craft on the sea and quickly storms gather, and the waves begin threatening to overturn your boat!!
I think most believing on God pray, crying out.
But they must also do 2 things: hold ON, hold FAST, and
keep your other hand on the steering wheel, so it can't just spin around.
Applying these to 'rough personal seas', of course we pray fervently,
but hold on to OURSELF, maybe the spouse, maybe a child.
Easy does it, steady, not 'flying off the handle' (we can't).
Then staying the course, holding the wheel. Not making any decisions.
It's IMPOSSIBLE right now, and not just for you.
This storm will pass.
Do you like Nana Muscuri's (sorry, spelling!!, a Greek,singer?),
'Smooth Sailing'? It's a favorite of mine.
Blessings!! Love тЭд
