I thank God that she was a very forgiving person. God gave me the opportunity to minister to her before she died in 1999.

Our society puts so much focus and value upon personal independence, recognition of self, denial of personal responsibility-- the popular pop pschology that so many people like to hear, and unfortuntately so many churches espouse. "If Jesus said it, then let me interpret it so it fits what I want to believe" is a view that many today have taken. You have chosen the true, but less popular message.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-43979832408186491542010-04-21T08:34:09.742-07:002010-04-21T08:34:09.742-07:00Very well done, I am so thankful a ransom was paid...Very well done, I am so thankful a ransom was paid for my debt, Amen!Survivormamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363232459227919604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-25685255265058967952010-04-21T06:36:10.021-07:002010-04-21T06:36:10.021-07:00AS a Mother, we do "think" we know what ...AS a Mother, we do "think" we know what is best for our children or maybe in this case "want" what would be the ultimate but to me this is a classic understanding of God ways are Higher than ours as well as HIS thoughts are Higher than ours.

I enjoyed the read. We mothers do it seems want what is best for our children, but there are some mothers who is too pushy, when I see children about 10 yrs of age on these reality shows it's sad, because they have not matured enough to know what the big outside world is like.<br /><br />Take care.<br />Yvonne.RHYTHM AND RHYMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386975261804630799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-23457770176669358062010-04-21T04:33:52.363-07:002010-04-21T04:33:52.363-07:00Thank you so much for this very informative post. ...Thank you so much for this very informative post.
