Welcome to a place where Christ should be exalted and "Self" should be abased!!

Welcome to a place where the BIBLE can be discussed rationally, intelligently, and positively without unnecessary argument!!

Welcome to a place where prayer can be requested and encouraged!!

Welcome to a place where positive and encouraging thoughts from scripture can be shared in a caring and loving way!!

Welcome to a place away from all the arguments, recriminations, and negativity of the outside world!!

Welcome to a place of rest and safety!!

Welcome to a place where Philippians 2:3 is practiced: "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."

Welcome to this Christian thread.



(Please leave all aggression, bitterness, and philosophy outside the door and please wipe your feet before coming inside!!)


  

I live in my own little world. But it's OK... They know me Here!

I think I understand why. It's too bad, though, because in spite of the negatives, there was a lot of good stuff on that thread.

Where is she this morning, anyway?

...looks like I missed a lot last night. Looks like CTS had a rough night. :(

A CHRISTIAN THREAD

This poem seems quite fitting right now. It is also near and dear to my heart. We found this poem in my brother's personal belonging's so we displayed this at his funeral I had a picture of him walking away from the camera and this poem was placed over it.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victors cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit!

Thanks Ed!! :-x

You know I was actually thinking of starting this thread a couple of months ago and then Julie beat me to it.

Now it seems appropriate to carry on for her!

Thank you also, tom for starting this thread, though I only lurked I was enjoying the uplifting parts of Julie's thread. The stories of overcoming difficult lives are very heartwarming - like techno and Ralph's !
Ralph my niece who is English and lives in Hong Kong has told me of the many Phillipino nannies, how they gather in the park and chatter and laugh, she says she loves seeing them giggle with one another. - When she first went to Hong Kong she was living with her boyfriend, who was from an upper class English upbringing used to being waited on I guess, and they had a live-in Phillipino helper. My niece absolutely hated the room the helper had, as there was no window, he was immune to this. The day of reckoning for my niece and the end of the relationship came when she bought the girl a present from England, and he was furious. My niece still lives in Hong Kong and has married a very nice Englishman, who like her has more appreciation of the hard work these girls do to send money home to their families.

mazyvr thanks for sharing that. I have been to Hong Kong and have seen the Filipinas gather in the parks on Sundays after Church. In fact one park alone I think there were over 500 Filipinas at one time. Many of them asked me if I was single or if I could find them an American boyfriend. lol

Once my wife's employer had work related guests from Canada. They were told that my wife had to do extra work cooking, doing laundry, etc. for them so she should be compensated by them. They gave her a dollar. She gave it back to them. Sometimes people don't have any clue how cruel they are. Ralphie

Your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before your god you cannot say I was told by others to do thus, or that virtue was not convenient at that time.

This will not suffice……… Remember that.

lol I used Ralphie just to let you know it didn't bother me when you called me Ralphie.

I had the Ned Flanders signatory photo to let you know I don't care if you compare me to Ned Flanders.

I'm not arguing any more, at least for the time being. Too many people have voiced their displeasure in that. Ralphie
