Marilyn, I loved your "Fable" tonight. You've been quoting some beautiful things by Max Lucado. Are these recent ones from different books, or is this a current one that you are reading. I'd love to know the name of it if…

Beautiful story, Marilyn!

Oooh, she's a beauty, Suzanna! She looks so much like my Roxy! What a sweetie! You'll just have to invite some field mice into the house occasionally so that the kitties don't put you in the poor house feeding them!
Nancee Marchinowski commented on Kathleen Fuller's group 'Pets!'
You're right, Suzanna, you can't say "no" to such a critter, and especially since you've already named her "Tuxie!" How sweet! No I'm off to see her pictures! Have a wonderful weekend, girls!
Nancee Marchinowski commented on Rachel May's photo
No... I said that wrong. I see beauty in the simplicity of your Amish "life" as you keep the excess and distractions out of your lives, and live with a simplicity that is not only hard work but I think it is the way that the…

Dear Rachel, your husband is very talented. He sees the beauty in the simple things. As a comparison, I see such beauty in the simplicity of your Amish faith. God bless you!

That's a beautiful poem, Rachel! Did you write it? Thank you for sharing it with us.
Nancee Marchinowski commented on Marilyn Moshos's group 'Prayer Requests'
Judith, Rhonda is right. There is no prayer request that is too trivial for us to offer prayers. I will be offering you up to the Lord in prayer in the hope that your pain will be eliminated. I'm concerned. Have you called your oral…

Amen, Rhonda!

love this poem, Claire! God does carry us thru!
Rhonda Gayle Nash-Hall commented on Marilyn Moshos's group 'Prayer Requests'
Judith, we will pray that your pain will ease as mouth pain is so awful and spreads to your whole body!!! It is not trivial to bring any request before the Lord.
Claire, will definitely be praying for your…

The Amish Do Not Care What Others Think of Them
A friend posed the question at brunch the other day..."How do you stop caring what others think of you?" Tough question. Tough answer. It's a fact that everyone is concerned with what others think; it's especially difficult if you're a vibrant Christian. But the answer to the question lies in learning another question: How Do I Start Caring What God Thinks of Me? Every time the urge to feel shame, regret, or the desire to keep up appearances emerges, we have to learn to reframe our perception. Adam and Eve cared what God thought of them--they were naked and ashamed. Sad, but true. Satan, the Accuser, loves when we are so worried or preoccupied about PEOPLE'S perceptions that we forget about the only One who really matters. Now, you might say..."Oh, God knows all about me; he knows how awful I am. I'm comfortable with Him." That's nice, but why do we devalue this unconditional love by putting even a stranger's perception of us above God? Noted serial killer, Ted Bundy, supposedly accepted Christ before his execution and gave interviews about the many women he killed and what they had in common...they were all young, beautiful, and he said something very interesting--"They were each very concerned with being polite, helpful, and good." He had a fake cast for his leg and would lure women by asking for their help, or tell them that his son or dog was lost, and would they help....He said that if these women would have been less concerned with what a handsome stranger thought of them by their saying no, he would not have killed them. His sick game would have ceased to be fun. So what does this mean when applied to the peer, the teacher, the adult, or boss that you're supposed to care about in their perceptions? It means that if you focus on caring about what God thinks first, you may find yourself in some situations where you might be considered rude, absent,and snotty, but you will be unassaulted on the deepest level that really matters. So, ask yourself....How DO I Start Caring What God Thinks of Me? Be willing to be a fool for Christ and your life will be filled with abundance.
