When you get older, sick, feeling down, you have someone there to help
you
stabilize. Poor Ephraim, He needs to work to stay away from his wife.
Fortunately
God has given him a way to deal with it as He always does, that is
until his home
Life smoothes out. God has plans for us all depending on our raising
and situations.
Do pray for Ephraim as I do for all of You. Perhaps pray for his wife.
We all need challenge, I saw 2 alcoholics battle it out growing up.
Upstanding
and productive citizens but both strong-headed. A country and
unbridled temptation
can reach down to the individual and tear a country and families
apart. Pride fuels this.
of that I have no doubt.
It’s what we see now around us. Me being single reaches way back to
when I was a
child growing up and was re-iterated during my high school years. God
has helped
me cope with those memories and for that I am thankful to God and his
ever present
Son Jesus’s spirit talking to me quietly and through dreams.
My faith grows in that even though I don’t see results when I believe
they should
come, God instantiates them when I need it, when hope is gone, Every
time. He
Will do that for anyone that calls on Him. He is there when we need
Him and leaves
us alone when we’re doing fine. A helping hand. He hands us a
decision. It’s a glimpse
of what is to be when we pass from this life to the next. He wants us
to live freely
and happily.
The analogy that Christ brought us was a very good one. When him and
his
Disciples crossed the sea of Galilee a large storm tossed the ship
they were
In. They were all frightened out of their minds, but Jesus slept in
the boat.
They awoke him and told him (prayed in a sense) that their ship was
breaking
apart and they would all die. Jesus put out his hand and the sea
calmed.
(Luke: 8.22)
What we often overlook was his words to his disciples (literally
students) was
that they had little faith. Faith is a difficult thing for us. But God
who made
this reality for us desires to help us, He loves Us all. If we have
the smallest bit
of faith in him to see us through he WILL honor that. That can be very
relaxing
when even partially mastered. “use the force Luke” Even non-christians
know about
this deep inside.
Derek at work amazes me. He’s told me some things that God has done
through
Him and I am totally flabbergasted how God uses a willing spirit like
his. Ask him
sometime if you want. He’s always around the yard, and his work is
incredible.
He reminds me somewhat of Joseph in the bible, whom I like a LOT.

Being married is not easy and having a baby on top of that ratches it
up even more.
If I was you, Mestek, & Jackie, I would continue to stay single.
Marriage & relationships are not for the weak of heart. Lots of
sacrifice. LOTS.

Lol, does seem to, I’ve another friend going thru a divorce probably
looking
At their marriage certificate. It’s sad that people cant follow a few
simple rules
God gives us for happy lives. “I’ll do it my way !!!” rings throughout
the country
These days, and judgment is and will come. God wants us to Love each
other.
Loving is Giving, Faith is Receiving. Both are acceptable to God and
together
They are Great !!
