It's just my ...*sigh* I agree with all of you. It's just my human arrogance wishing God could find another way. My mom has already borne such a burden, eating up a big chunk of her retirement savings supporting my family and me after I lost my job and went blind. I know he'll take care of her and me both, I just feel guilty. Ro, I've heard that story and it applies perfectly.

It's like the Christian Scientists who won't use doctors because that supposedly demonstrates a lack of Faith. God provides, in many ways, for all our needs. If He wants to use Mom to provide for you right now, why not accept? Maybe this is as much for her benefit as for yours? <br /><br />:)benninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883327259794768568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666613150525776296.post-70196943563778573812009-12-05T08:38:01.321-06:002009-12-05T08:38:01.321-06:00AMEN!
Oh I was thinking about this the other day. ...AMEN!<br />Oh I was thinking about this the other day. The division among faiths? I had to wonder why, if we all believe in the SAME God are we so divided?<br />Allah is the same God as Jehovah. There is only ONE God. All He wanted for us is peace and this is what we give him? This crazy world of division? (alright Stormcrow,I won't make this a 'religious debate' post, sorry!) <br /><br />okay, I'll stop! lol I get in my preachy mode.loljonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401569094090026684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666613150525776296.post-2022085069944653362009-12-04T17:40:26.598-06:002009-12-04T17:40:26.598-06:00Here here!
Now if all people of different faith...Here here! <br /><br /><br />Now if all people of different faiths would quit condemning others for their own perceptions of God, we might just live in a peaceful world!Rohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15221466457945806775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666613150525776296.post-28917933614450519992009-12-04T16:48:08.740-06:002009-12-04T16:48:08.740-06:00You know Ro, our God sounds a lot alike. I really ...You know Ro, our God sounds a lot alike. I really don't think they are different but one and the same God. I think people hear him differently. Just like the priest, he was waiting for a lightning bolt from heaven to reach down, take the shape of God's hand and save him. When God was there the whole time trying. <br /><br />I can tell ol' Stormcrow things until I am blue in the face, Epsom Salt is a good healer for infections!!!!, but it takes someone else for him to hear it before he believes it. I guess that's what makes us all different. <br /><br />It isn't the God that we believe in, it's our perception of Him and how he works. *wink* <br /><br />My God not only works through people, man I'm telling ya, He works through animals trees, birds, everything He created! He uses! :-) Amen!jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401569094090026684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666613150525776296.post-57870098247003655442009-12-04T07:57:34.289-06:002009-12-04T07:57:34.289-06:00As you know, our respective faiths don't follo...As you know, our respective faiths don't follow the same "track" if you will, but you also know that I have very strong faith and trust in my God. <br /><br />Help from God comes in all forms, whether it be a lost 5 dollar bill we find on the street, a neighbor bringing a casserole when we wonder where our next meal is coming from, a phone call in the middle of the day when we're feeling lonely, that woman in the break room, or someone offering monetary help when we need it. That is what I believe. My God speaks to me through people. <br />God made doctors and medicine for us to live good, healthy lives. I don't think God created insurance haha. When it comes to my medical care, I'll do what I have to. God can lead me in the direction, God walks with me through the door and pushes me through it if I'm scared. Your mom offering to help might be God's way of saying, here, here is the help I am offering. <br /><br />Did you ever hear that story of the priest in the town, the town is flooding. The priest gets on the roof of his house and says my Lord will save me. A boat comes by and the people offer a ride to the priest and the priest says, my Lord will save me. A helicopter comes by with a ladder and the priest says my Lord will save me. But the flood waters come and carry the priest away and he drowns. When he gets to Heaven he says, Lord, I had faith in you. You did not save me. The Lord says, I sent you a boat. I sent you a helicopter. I tried to save you, but you did not take your own action. <br /><br />I don't know what God's plan is for you. But I trust that He wants you to be happy. It's hard taking money, it's hard when our government doesn't help us, but maybe your mom offering to help is the boat. <br /><br />When I can't sleep, it's usually for the same reasons, I have a decision to make, or I'm dreading a conversation. Keep praying, and the answer will come. <br /><br />*hugs*Rohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15221466457945806775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666613150525776296.post-66808604595647406272009-12-04T07:56:45.154-06:002009-12-04T07:56:45.154-06:00Did you 'get' my poem?
