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
Disengage for a while, anon. Get out in nature. Pack a cooler with lunch and take your family to the beach. Find a night when you can all sit and watch a comedy movie or two together. Play a board game at the kitchen table. I'm right there with you, BTW, feeling emotionally depleted and need to take my own advice.
More than anything, though, pull closer to God. Make some time to sit and talk to Him, bring Him your frustrations, your fears, your sorrows. He loves you. He wants you to be happy. He sees what you're going through and knows that it's forging you into being a stronger person - even if you can't see it now. And be thankful to Him for everything good in your life.
Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of anon HeShallTreadAlone and many others like him who are weary and discouraged and sad as we watch the works of the evil ones destroying our world and holding our loved ones under their spells. Father, we are powerless to prevail against this evil by ourselves, but with You all things are possible. Lord, we beseech You to break the spells that bind our loved ones, to let the light of Your truth shine upon them and free their hearts and minds. Give us all the strength to persevere through these trying times, to learn to live more fully in Your love and lift our spirits up to bask in Your glory. Free Your children trapped in bondage to the beasts that roam this world and heal their bodies, minds and hearts. Our hearts go out to these souls. Lord, we need You now more than ever to guide and protect us and all our loved ones. We thank You for the multitudes of blessings You've bestowed upon us over the years and even now during these difficult times. Lord, renew HeShallTreadAlone's inner strength and lift their spirits, guide them towards a path of hope and positivity as we all move forward on this journey. Lord, we ask these things from You in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. 🙏✝️
