Today started out like every other day. The Lord woke me yet again and everything was peaceful. A gentle rain was falling outside (a much needed easy soaking rain). It was very pleasant to see the raindrops on the windows. I was here for some purpose, however I never would have thought it would be to defend my convictions & beliefs. I must keep passing the test because I am not discouraged, just very saddened that I seem to be unable to clearly communicate my steadfast firm belief in Christ and other issues that go along with my strong faith. I know that I am fighting an uphill battle in today's world. I am a believer in common sense and the strong lack of it's existence in today's world as well as my faith in the Lord. Several recent news articles and events have prompted some extremely heated discussions about all of the above and many HOT political topics, too. Things just went from one to another most of the afternoon. I was getting extremely discouraged on many fronts and it was a subject I could not walk away from - I needed to defend it!
I have been berated several times today by friends and strangers. Normally I welcome the debate, mainly because I enjoy finding out others' thought process and why they hold true to their convictions. It is increasingly hard to share my convictions about my faith, but I know that I must allow my light to shine. Those who tried to tear me down today were unsuccessful and I have already said several prayers for them this evening. I know they don't want the prayers as they are non believers, but I know that my Lord has heard me & I am comforted in that knowledge. I know that should I not wake in the morning I served my maker.
My children and husband are always a comfort to me & today they were even more of a comfort as my day increased with burdens beyond my control. The day is now done and morning will start everything anew very soon. It's my prayer for all that your day ahead be a peaceful, uneventful day and that those who don't know the Lord's comfort will find it. As I end this post I am reminded of a song from church school "This little light of mine!" it brings a smile to my face & a warmth in my heart. Thank You God!
Good Night & God Bless
Mostly ideas featuring things I’ve learned from many places over the years & along the way with tools for scrapbooking, card making, crafts and other altered art items and paper crafts. Along with any other tidbits from my life that I wish to share.
