This has been a sanity saver for many who have been isolated, ostracised and excluded by friends and family and an increasingly insane world. Its a real blessing to be in touch with so many who understand, share good info and are supportive. And funny too, I love the replies to so many posts - you are the best!
THANK YOU frens. Stay strong, we will get through this. GOD BLESS!
Says a lot when I come here before wanting to call my family. I am tired of walking on eggshells and avoiding traps: constantly steering conversations into neutral territory. Here I feel totally free and at home, I don't have to be on guard.
You have to hand it to him - satan knows his business. He knows how to sow discord and division. We have to rise above it.
Amen. Satan doesn't want us getting close to the truth, so he'll throw an obstacle in front of you everytime.
Once you realise that its possible to stay calm and not get provoked. The battle is always spiritual, the darkness hates light. We win by God's grace.
Praise God for his saving grace. Amen.
I still get provoked tho. I don't act on it... but it there... I have been collecting a big bundle of rage in the pit of my stomach.... when the time comes to unleash it, it will be Biblical
Leave it at the foot of the cross and ask to be released or it will eat away at you. Let not the sun go down on your anger: Ephesians 4:26. Anger, bitterness and resentment cause illness; mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. Ask for God's peace or you will be leaving the door open to you-know-who.
I do, every night in my prayers,
But when I'm faced with new horrors it all comes back and is remembered.
I cannot separate the rage from the knowledge of what is going on.
I know, its hard. Had to pray to stay calm before going shopping today. For the first time I was almost oblivious to the masked morons. Nobody challenged me for not wearing one, one guy backed away in horror as I walked past. I wanted to laugh but he was old so I let it pass. Its not worth getting stressed, raising your blood pressure and stressing your adrenals. Let go and let God. Use your time and energy positively. Pray for it to end, all we can do.
Me too fren, me too
I'm concerned about becoming intoxicated with happiness.
Moderation in all things :)
Checkmate, Fren, you modes keep a warm household.
Downright cozy. :)
We are warm in a blanket that has never existed before. I'm starting to get silly.
Edit: our military is still with sensitive engagement. Nothing is so profound than keeping a fair balance of emotion.
Excellent sentiments, much love fren.
HERE HERE!
Same here. GAW acts as a pressure relief valve, and it's like the old days of the internet, before the "fact checkers" and the anti-social media came about.
This is my home from home.
Excellent post and so true. It's amazing how relatively kind seasoned members are to newbies and to unusual ideas. When I come to this forum I feel welcomed and aligned with the smartest and most sassafras frens!
