Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I don't think it exists. As far as I can tell, it's a psyop to make us docile, whereas Q tells us to "put on the armour of God" and "fight, fight, fight!" Personally, I think it's the height of hubris to expect God to do everything for you if you are capable of at least doing something towards it yourself. It's fine to pray for assistance in doing something but to expect God to do everything for you is taking the piss. We should do everything we can to help others and not expect any reward.
It does not say that literally, but many interpret Hebrews 4:16 to mean that, in modern parlance. Hebrews 4:16 King James Bible Online https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org › Hebrews-4-16 “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” King James Version (KJV).
I just read in 1 Samuel of how Hanna prayed and prayed for God to remember her so that she could have a son. She did not "leave it in God's hands" but she proactively prayed and cried bitterly for God to hear her prayers.
Do you want to do everything for your kids or teach them to do the easier things on their own but step in when needed?
Since he could walk, my together time with my boy was spent in play, and in doing things around the house, he naturally learned without making it a lesson or anything. It was fun for him. Kids should not be always told, "go away, I'm busy", find something that they can do with you, and turn it into fun. They learn how to handle tools carefully, learn order and symmetry, and it helps them develop hand co ordination and problem solving..
