I've had an amazing weekend, and I want to share it with you all, that you may derive strength and hope from it.
I've touched a few lives and been touched with an outpouring of love this weekend, and done so in meaningful ways. From my beloved lady, to several very close internet friends, we've had heart-to-heart talks and made some tremendous plans.
America is in grave danger. We stand on the precipice of having one-party rule by the Democrats at a national level. That, coupled with the heinous plans of the Globalist W.E.F. people, scares me greatly. Their plans are, simply put, sinister.
Yet, even with the foreboding background of a looming and dangerous future, we still can make meaningful connections and love one another. We marry, we form dear and lasting friendships, we might even have children... though I have never been blessed in that particular manner.
The politics of this time are dark and frightening. Yet, you can still carve out a wonderful loving live. We are fortunate to be alive, at this time, sharing the beauty we find in one another.
Never forget this, and remember, our time is short. Bring love and beauty to your friends, your family, your loved ones. Bear in mind the warning I one read was on a Roman tomb:
Keep that in the forefront of your mind, and live each day to your fullest, despite the foolishness of our so-called elected officials. They don't matter, your people do.
BOOP! 🙂
Well said my good friend. You just gave me a spot of hope on an otherwise trying day.
Summarizing John 15:18-25: If the world hated Jesus, we should not be surprised that His followers are similarly rejected. Jesus' message and mission confront personal sin, a grave offense to those who prefer self-rule. As believers increasingly reflect Jesus, the world around us responds in hostility. Rebellious humanity hates redeemed humanity.
I needed this study today. It's no surprise I have my ups and downs about the state of the world today and how evil is running rampant. I'm ashamed of some of my posts here about it. Today I have renewed confidence and will keep myself in God's word because WE my friend, know the outcome. It is written.
As the Doxology sings:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creature here below,
Praise Him above ye heavenly Hosts,
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Love will conquer the world ❤️👏
This is why I focus on my own community. Teach those I can, mark for arty those I can’t but above all be cheerful and positive. Seems to be working.
Amen.
I am doing this right now - connecting with people from church and ways to serve. I think there are two parts of turning things around in America, being involved on a bigger stage and being connected with people around us.
And prayer.
You must be taking Balance of Nature!
Keeping my powder dry.
Thanks Laz.
So am I.
Today I have renewed confidence and will keep myself in God's word because WE my friend, know the outcome.
Indeed!
It is written.
What a wonderful summation. Thank you.
You’re in GA. We should get together for a Freeper Meet.
Love you. Miss you.
It is all true, what both of you say. :)
It is not a small thing in effort or consequence to keep these things in mind in all of our activities but the consequence would be good and the effort well rewarded.
Stay safe, stay awake and to thine own self be true!
Miss you too!
Wise words, Laz.
And, again. Thank you so much for calling out the prayer warriors on my behalf. Meant a lot. And for all who prayed.
I didn’t even know my sister has RSV and pneumonia in a room on the floor below me at the same time.
I was cut off for quite a while.
As Rush used to say..”I wake up every day and am glad That I did.
I now wake up every day and count my Blessings...It takes some time!
And it was three years ago this week that we lost Rush.
