What is written here has been ringing so true to me. I am thankful for those people who have walked with me through my difficulty. I am also able to let them walk with me because several others have allowed me to walk with them during their suffering. During this time, their thoughts and comments echo in my mind, and it has strengthened me.Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601564105166001074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753004819658029330.post-16182449069593494892008-10-03T10:48:00.000-04:002008-10-03T10:48:00.000-04:00You said, "God has used", "God provided", "God all...You said, "God has used", "God provided", "God allows us to cross path with many people", "I thank God for the brothers and sisters that he regularly sends". I ask, with all sincerity and meaning no offense, why it is that you credit God with relationships in your life that nonbelievers also experience without giving credit to God? Are you certain that God is orchestrating these events and relationships, and if so, what gives you that certainty? When I used to be certain of these things, it was "faith" based on my beliefs formed by my understanding of scripture. <BR/><BR/>I am glad that you have people in your life who support and affirm you. People like that are, well, I was going to use the vernacular, "Godsends". It's not that I totally discount the possibility that God superintends such things. I'm just at a very low point in my faith journey. <BR/><BR/>My apologies if this is an inappropriate or unwelcome intrusion. I found your blog while wandering from link to link, and your post touched me, but it also prompted these personal questions. <BR/><BR/>Pax vobiscum.Gary Meanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13213758384049656850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753004819658029330.post-75571410537342938752008-07-03T23:02:00.000-04:002008-07-03T23:02:00.000-04:00Thanks for your comment!God Bless!!http://jack-don...Thanks for your comment!<BR/><BR/>God Bless!!<BR/><BR/>http://jack-donovan.blogspot.com/Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876814633762651330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753004819658029330.post-56457366865837809562008-06-22T06:12:00.000-04:002008-06-22T06:12:00.000-04:00Hi,Nice post.

We too often overlook, fail to notice or appreciate or acknowledge, and take for granted, so many blessings that God sends our way on a daily basis. He protects us constantly. Of course, our very heartbeat is literally dependent upon Him. He answers not only the prayers, but often the desires of the Christian, as well.<BR/><BR/>Friends are one of the many blessings that God gives us, and a true friend is a priceless treasure.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146601338956701881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753004819658029330.post-72768564533343978662008-01-28T12:23:00.000-05:002008-01-28T12:23:00.000-05:00Thanks for this post.It is indeed a good thing to ...Thanks for this post.<BR/><BR/>It is indeed a good thing to take time to recognize and be grateful for those people God is constantly bringing into our lives. To be grateful that He actually uses us in the lives of others.<BR/><BR/>God is so good and I know I couldn't do life alone. Without Him or without the people He graciously puts in my path.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15692160455833039396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753004819658029330.post-5459489239025340112007-11-02T22:06:00.000-04:002007-11-02T22:06:00.000-04:00God is Love and Love is a Verb!

But, what happens during the difficult times? I think that's when God shows us which of his children truly understand love.<BR/><BR/>-AlanAlan Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452247058550736803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753004819658029330.post-71493840771924699622007-09-29T23:10:00.000-04:002007-09-29T23:10:00.000-04:00Hi there Alan, Your post is so true.
