And, thanking God for the life that He has blessed you with. <br /><br />It is so sad that the world does not recognize the darkness that they live in. We are the only Light that can bring a ray into their dark world and shine it onto their lives. We are the hope for them. Well, Jesus in us, is the hope for them. So, I guess we do need to remain here and shine. Otherwise, let's get the heck out of here and go home! huh?<br />love,<br />Christychristy rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04576305610780918375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817241909677069838.post-27081164957042112322009-09-30T01:39:47.370-04:002009-09-30T01:39:47.370-04:00Hi Michelle!!
Awesome about your sons friend!! I ...Hi Michelle!!<br /><br />Awesome about your sons friend!! I do hope that he goes back to your church and gives his life over to Christ!!<br /><br />And I totally know what you mean about the "old friends." It's not that I think I'm better than anyone, but I have no desire to be in those kinds of settings. You described it so perfectly!!! I'm sure it made you appreciate your life even more. I couldn't imagine our lives w/ out the Lord. It would be so empty and unsatisfying. We have to keep praying for our unsaved friends!!More Than Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11159856133879672250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817241909677069838.post-60710763050688949242009-09-29T23:37:43.238-04:002009-09-29T23:37:43.238-04:00Wow...that was quite a weekend you had!

Having both boys in college has definitely slowed things down around here!<br /><br />Have a great week,<br />BethBeth E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04996230415386423039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817241909677069838.post-36597342038163494022009-09-29T17:45:10.051-04:002009-09-29T17:45:10.051-04:00Oh Lynds.....I love my Quaker friend!

and WO...Oh Lynds.....I love my Quaker friend! LOL<br /><br />and WOOT! Amanda!!!!!!!! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />and hopefully this didn't come off as "look at us"....."we are so happy and perfect, just call us Ward and June Cleaver, thankyou!". No...not at all...we just are really happy. Sure we have our troubles just like everyone else.....but we have Christ and it is because of Him that we <i>make it through</i> all those troubles.<br /><br />@ Rick.....hopefully you don't think I am all down on iPods and the latest techy stuff....I am just a newb who is slowly tippy toeing into what most consider the norm. My reference to the "empty" was not really about the flaunting of materialistic stuff, but more about what I perceived to be an endless search for happiness in "things", if that makes any sense. If you've read my Philippians X 2 post (beginning of Sept) I talked a little about the club environment I worked in and how, even back then.....I was mocked/ignored when I spoke of Christ....so I guess I was pretty much feeling sad that things haven't changed for many of these people who I believe could be living a more fulfilling life (even when the gadgets and things break or they are no longer able to afford them)..... if they brought God along for the ride.....and then eventually let Him lead the way, yk?<br /><br />I bet if Jesus was hanging out here with us, he'd have an iPod cranking some crazy worship! *wink~*Michelle*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12973255141669832129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817241909677069838.post-37189572397450252092009-09-29T16:48:42.396-04:002009-09-29T16:48:42.396-04:00It's amazing people ask us "how do you do...It's amazing people ask us "how do you do it?" We're used to the techy kind of life that always has a blazingly beautiful method that bedazzles the likes and wiles of mankind. My wife and I "do it" by simply being in love. No Gadgets.<br /><br />But for the rest of life, my ipod is connected to my stereo receiver at home and I'm listening to one of close to 6000 songs that easily fit onto this little machine. I don't even own a cd player anymore. Now is that making my life more or less sordid?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16961377191597126990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817241909677069838.post-53229551135913634012009-09-29T16:46:07.349-04:002009-09-29T16:46:07.349-04:00I understand about it seeming empty and dark. I...I understand about it seeming empty and dark. I'm sure I'm full of my own empty thoughts and even consumerism. Jeremy bought me an ipod touch for last Christmas, and I'm pretty happy with the little dandy thing. <br /><br />A lot of the people in Jeremy's work crowd are this way though. I can't relate and or even find common ground to discuss with the wives. They send their kids off to daycare so they can do what they want all day (homemakers), they party all weekend long, talk about hang overs. I seem like a "quaker" to them, enjoying my kids, enjoying the Lord, church services, and homeschooling!Lyndshttp://www.foursparrows.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817241909677069838.post-50925082138328650912009-09-29T11:13:24.688-04:002009-09-29T11:13:24.688-04:00So much to be thankful for!

There are times I would be very happy to have those days back again and times I am very happy we have made in through. Now I get to enjoy grandchildren.

When my 18yr old comes over to hang out just because, I love it...though sometimes I think he is just hungry!<br /><br />I love it when God gives me the opportunity to get to know people who do not know Him. The hope and freedom they see in me is them seeing a bit of Jesus reflecting through. The more they get to know me the more of Jesus they see (not that I am not flawed...you know what I mean, I hope...otherwise I just sound conceited LOL).Davedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182993023405516646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817241909677069838.post-8226010842053659842009-09-28T16:01:32.697-04:002009-09-28T16:01:32.697-04:00What a testiment you and your family are.
