Thoughts

Hi there,
How's things?
How are you going?
If you look deep down inside, how are you going with life?
How's your Christian walk going?
What are you doing?
What changes are you making to make the most of the opportunity?
I realize that I've been everywhere with my blog posts, and sometimes you might think that the subject probably doesn't fit with the content.
But today I want to talk about image.
Because we live our lives sometimes totally controlled body image, character image, we want to look like models, we build our lives around them, we want to have their fame, we want their houses.
We want more money, we want that job, we want to finally ''get there''.
It doesn't take long, to feel discontented, and that's a natural feeling,because that's sin and what is sin?
What is it?
It's not just a word for religious word, it is more than that.
What is sin?
It's a simple question, and that is why I haven't got a subject for my post today.
To answer the question, I went to the dictionary, and this is the definition of sin-, this means.


"Any serious, offense  as against  a religious,  or moral principal.''
So it's quite an easy word to understand.

However, we can't lead a total sinless life, we have a tiny seed implanted in us, because of Adam and Eve, because they were the first to sin.
However, we can turn away from things that can trap us into sin.

But in this world we can't escape it, but we can help others, my friend.
I want you to read this story, because this young guy reached out to someone who is constantly, ignored.

And I can relate to that story, because I have mild version of his disability, and you can never really know if you're going to be ignored, or make friends, fortunately I have some good friends,  one of things we like is, understanding, and physical touch.

So how can you make a difference in someone ones special day?

Could it be being kind to the person who is out there to get you at your work?
Could you spend a bit of money on this person say buy their lunch for them or their favorite drink?
Perhaps it's just being there for others, sometimes my friends we have to shake the dirt off our feet if we've done all that we can do.
And that's going to grieve us for a time, but sometimes we need to take that to God.

How hard is it to reach out to others?
The ones who love us, will continue to love us and be your friends, but how are we going to make new friends?
By making the most of the opportunity of time and effort.

If we're putting time and effort into the wrong thing, we can see how much progress we've made  if we're feeling tired, and burnt out.
And sometimes we have to say goodbye to those things, please note, there's a fine line, because you've got to pray hard, because God is love and he's all that you need.
And to a wounded person, it's hard to take it.
I know, because that sounds so cliche at time, and it's ok if you stumble and fall.
God reaches out to grasp your hand, and he pulls you to your feet.
So if you're wondering and looking around, to see if there's anyone who cares.
I do, my friend, I care about you, because your journey is hard.
Pray with someone, who can pray boldly, pray for good friends, ones that just don't take you for your face value, but care, and God will bring them to you.
Don't take everything to heart, if you can't take "constructive criticism.'' if you're in a place that is hard for you at at the moment.
And if you're grieving, it's ok to have a day or two of grieving, or take as much as you like, because it's important for you to take it, to grieve and to feel like you can move on.
Moving on, isn't forgetting,  it's a place of acceptance, and you'll always remember that special person, or thing or pet, and that's fine, there will be gap it won't fully close.
But we can accept it, and God knows your pain and other friends as well.
My wonderful friend Mel, sent me a card when I lost Tiggi, and it was such a lovely thing it helped me, when others said ''oh that's sad.''
When you're grieving you have days when you are fine, but then the memories of certain things, trigger that, and brings it back.
That's emotions, and it's how we're wired.
It's ok, to feel sad, or lonely, but if you have other thoughts,  and you know that something isn't right, you might have to see a doctor, and settle matters quickly.
So that you can move on.
Well that's all I have for you today.
I hope that, that's some help and encouragement to you.
May God bless you at this time in your life my friend when you're going through a hard time.
Chloe
