Prayers for the us and the world

...See more Not going to go into any details but it hurts my heart to see what is going on in the US and the rest of the world. I can only focus on what I have control over but I pray for everyone, we all need so much love and healing in this dark and fallen world. I do hope that we do get to see more change though. May Jesus, the light of the world, shine bright.

A New Angel

...See more There is no more pain, no more suffering, no more medical machines, no more doctors, no more guessing. You are now in the warm presence of happiness, the cuddle of love. You are now in the heavens looking from Gods window. All that you couldn’t do as you were here with us, now you’re doing in the fields of joy. Our tears on Earth may fill the oceans blue, but many are for the relief of what you no longer have to go through. Our sadness of loss may keep us down for moments of time; our questions of “why” as we feel you were taken from us too soon may cloud our thoughts, yet we know that you suffer no more. Your mom made a home for you and lived as you were going to be here forever. We lived, we laughed, you saw horses and beaches. You found your voice and touched so many hearts without saying a word. Your beautiful eyes looked through to everyone’s spirit. You enjoyed the little things that we all take for granted. You mended “fences” that you couldn’t comprehend, you brought together the hearts of women and men. You helped bring understanding and compassion to my life that I have never felt or knew. We will grow strong as we must live on, for our other children, for our other loved ones, for ourselves, but with the love that YOU shared with us all, we can continue in that love and press forward. I know your mom misses you. I know that your brothers and sisters miss you. I know that everyone who came in contact with you felt your emotional gifts you shared; Your home care nurses, extended family and friends. Just know in MY LIFE you have taught me many things. You were one of the STRONGEST people I know. We may have lost an Angel here on Earth, but God gained an Angel in Heaven. Look in on us from time to time. I’ll miss you…..to my beautiful stepdaughter, this is me grieving and growing. I love you.  Thank you if you have read this. Please bear with me, for I have posted this on a couple of communities. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😢😢😒

Failure of Existence

...See more I wake today feeling like a failure of existence. I wasn’t enough for my girl. I’m not enough for my children. I’m not enough. I made mistakes but how people who make mistakes judge and hate? I’m not enough and I’m a failure. 😣😢🙏🏽

My New Found Faith
by XneedsHelp

 November 23rd
...See more I have been baptized in 3 different faith systems for one reason or another when I was younger. Ever since I graduated high school (long ago, haha), I developed my own thoughts and beliefs. I prayed for everyone else in hopes that everyone would be ok in life. I never really prayed for myself thinking that if everyone around me was ok and successful, I would be ok. If they are happy, I am happy. Albeit, these last two weeks have been so trying in that I lost my blended family. I feel like a complete failure as a man. With that being said, I have now been praying for MYSELF because I need God more than ever. I’m lonely, my children kind of don’t like me and my girlfriend has left me (with her children in tow) and she hates me. All the U.S. holidays coming up; the family events; Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year (my birthday a week and a half after that). I will be spending by myself, alone. Just me and my faith. As I shed tears when I wake and before I sleep, I finally, finally, pray for myself. If you have read this, thank you for your moment….😔😒

Hospitality, the meaning in depth
by Jamen1
Last post
 November 16th
...See more Hospitality.  This is a lost and near useless word.  It has come to mean some who is gifted in setting a nice table.  To our parents, it was "Marth Stewart" (before she went to prison).  To connect with its origin, it used to describe a person who was willing to attend to you--even on your deathbed, and even at risk of becoming exposed to your illness and death.  Hospitality used to be a word of ridiculous courage and self-sacrifice for the good of another.  "Hospitality is the caring for that shared space. The hospitable person is making the assertion that when we live or meet together in that space, sometimes permanently and sometimes only momentarily, we strive to keep that space, whether pubic or private, inviting and welcoming." (Arthur Sutherland.  I was a Stranger: A Christian theology of Hospitality.)
