Love you humor, funny girl! And your honestly…absolutely right about not getting stuck on ourselves with praise. It’s gone in a flash and it’s very humbling…as we learned way back in Sunday school. But I love a good reminder and this is it fir me today; after getting more and more attention for my house series. Imagine…some people must only read Substack every few days! Once a week! I’m here everyday to support friends and learn more. As to followers, I try to engage…want everyone to feel seen, read, and raking time to write good job is better than a like. Way off topic now…. Where was I going? 😂😅Fun piece, my friend! You’re my guide in letting God, in being himble, in giving more than we receive. Love you! ❤️😘
Off topic tonight, but relates to "tossed salad and scrambled eggs": k "Go Frazier!" Apparently a re-boot coming, but no Frazier brother as a general rule.
The original one of my “go to” shows in the past, but not sure I’ll be able to see the new depending upon where it might stream when it first comes out. I have no tv per se and only iphone, iPad and an Amazon tablet and I don’t subscribe to much: everything’s become way too expensive. Amazon keeps raising Prime, Kindle, etc.
(But there’s “the future”: I just caught up on “Curb your Enthusiasm” from 2 years ago.)
Good night, Deb. Thanks for the good reminder that we won't always be liked. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but Jesus Himself faced rejection and yet never stopped loving all people and nurturing the ones that He could. I deeply understanding the craving for acceptance. God bless. OX
Good morning. I just found these quotes which really touched me. Wanted to share them with you.
"Abandon all, you will receive heaven" (Anthony Bloom).
"But what are Thou to those who love Thee? what to those who serve Thee with their whole heart? Truly unspeakable is the sweetness of contemplating Thee, which Thou bestowest on them that love Thee. In this especially Thou has showed me the sweetness of Thy love: that when I was not, Thou madest me; when I went far astray from Thee, Thou broughtest me back again, that I might serve Thee and that Thou hast commanded me to Thee. . . .It not ought to seem much to serve Thee; but rather this doth appear much to me, and wonderful, that Thou vouchsafest to receive into Thy service one so poor and unworthy, and to make him one with Thy beloved servants" (Thomas a Kempis, OF THE IMITATION OF CHRIST).
I always say, dear friend, that God uses me in spite of myself.
Thank you soooo much @Alexander Semenyuk ! I feel the same! What a blessing 🙌🏻 and I have thought for a long time about writing a children’s book or series. I have so much more to learn! 🙃
This was amazing to read. You really brightened my mood. I thank you deeply and I want to say that I’m so happy to have connected with you through here.
I also love how you explain social media on here, it’s very true. And your writing is awesome. Have you thought of writing a novel?
Thank you again so much Alexander! Sometimes social media is challenging! I'm happy I was inspired by yesterday's events to write! Blessed to have clicked open Lighthouse! Thank you also for thinking I could write a novel! That would be an amazing goal! ox
If I could get my act together and decide what to write about I could certainly use a friend who has tons of experience! That is beyond generous of you. Thank you.

Cheers 🙌🏻

Agreed! The world just is... and if you decide to take up the cross? well ? It's heavy right. He never said it was going to be easy.
I absolutely love the way you said this Ned and I feel blessed that we are accountable to a loving God.
Goodnight! oxox
