You guys gonna make me bleed to death through my face! Thank you for those warm, wonderful thoughts.
Again, left to my own devices, I'd be nothing. If I do evidence a whisp of grace, it's only God working through me, sometimes when I don't even know it.
As for "positive outlook", they say that Stepping Out in community helps us achieve goals. If I try to speak in this great community with conviction of belief in God's plan, then I kinda have extra incentive to believe it.
Having said that, I see myself like the carpenter hammering on a house and a preacher walks by as the man viciously hits his thumb with the hammer and grimaces...with his head down. The preacher is impressed cause he'd seen so many cuss when that happens.
As the preacher approaches the man and congratulates him for not cussin, the man simply looks at the preacher in the eye and says, "aren't we responsible for what we think, too?" Under my breath, in my heart, I'm not always so positive... I stumble a LOT!!
Sometimes, I'm just trying to pump myself up to be positive. I've got a lot of struggles, especially thse past 2 years or so...lots of growing to do..some done, more to go.
What I can do is try to reach out while I wile away the hours as an unemployed bum! :rolleyes: :eek:
I wish I could do more...but we never know what small jesture turns into a big deal to someone else.
That is, IMHO, God working through us so "Thanks be to God" that He chooses to use this "rusty vessel" (thanks JC)for a moment here and there to do something good. I wish I could take the credit, but all Glory belongs to Him!
