Forgiveness

I can see why scripture tells us to forgive one another. I think that it is vital. There are a lot of things going on here that could cause quarrels and there is definetely going to have to be some discussion and forgiveness. In fact the discussion is effectively underway. So far, nobody has lost the rag. Some months ago I came very close to losing it and I put my thoughts and feelings down in writing. In that way it was more controlled.

Somehow I pray God gets us throught he present situation and that we learn from it.

on its way

Tonight as we listened to a recording on the subject of prayer the speaker said that the christian has a secret life. it is the secret life of prayer and they are rewarded openly.

He also said that sometimes there comes a point where you have been praying for something and you have the conviction that you should pray for it no more. However sometimes you pray for something and you know that it will be granted and it is on its way. There is something I have prayed for for a very long time and I still feel the need to pray for it and who knows, it could be at hand. I think that it is.

Appreciation

Have you ever had one of those days, or weeks, or months where you work incredibly hard and yet people are just not pleased? It makes you feel so unapreciated even though people say to your face that they appreciate what you do? I have just had one of those days.

When things go wrong I usually sort it and sort it I did, yet it is never good enough. However, when it is the other way round, I seem to be expected to just take it without complaint.

I suppose this is what forgiveness is all about.
