Many days I feel awful "But" I try to help my friends who are really having a very hard time in life. I know some days when I feel so awful and all alone in my pain and greif that it really helps just to know somewhere in this cold dark world I do have some friends who care and take the time to let me know.
So it always cheers me up just to get a note or anything from a very dear friend and to me you are the same way.
I know I do and we all do have so much on mine/your plate and could just...watch a movie, or stay in bed and be depress, or just want to shut the world out
"But" I/or You don't!
It is very hard many days to make myself get on the puter...but I feel the need to see if in some small way maybe
I can cheer someone up or help them to see the light at the end
of the tunnel.
We all here love and help each other and that is what friends do for each other.
We give strength, when they are weak.
We love and hold them up when they feel like their world is
coming unglued.
We listen, and never judge!
We try to take away their pain with laughter and joy.
We believe in them even when they do not believe in themselves.
We feel their pain and sadness and we cry with them and know
their pain is real.
True Friends are very hard to find and when you find one better hold on to that friend for they are Angels sent to us from up above with all of Gods love in them to help us along the way.
Sometimes Friends are quiet but never forget the love a friend gives and maybe they are just having a really tuff day and need some help from other friends.
Friends never lose their way when God is guiding them but often need time out just like Jesus did.
We all have our families and are busy with everyday life but when we show our love, concern and care for those who suffer
then we are doing what God would have us to do.
Love and Caring for one another is Gods first commandment.
It is my pleasure to help a friend in need for when we are down it is when the enemy can get to all of us and this is when we need Gods love, support the most and friends.
I know from my own sadness and experince in life that when we are down and feel all alone that this is when the enemy will try to attack our well being and distroy who we are.
So in life we need friends always not just when we are doing good but when we are really down.
I know myself, I really found out fast who my real friends are when I needed their help for just support, encouragement, and love.
Most people want to put conditions on their friendship and this is so wrong!
Did Jesus say I tell you what "If" I am your friend will you cook supper for me tonight?
Will you rub my shoulders, feet for I am so tired after walking all these miles?
No Jesus was a servant to all of us.
We are to be a servant to others but from our heart not because we feel we must but out of the love only Jesus can give us.
No...He said go and tell others about what you have seen and heard and to love one another.
People in general love it when you give of yourself and making them happy...but when something goes wrong and you need them ...they have a pocket full of excuses.
So during this time is when you cry and very sad and say please Dear Father tell me what did I do or not do to deserve such friends who do not care or understand me.
So during this time spent with God and learning His words and a never ending prayer, talk and walk with God, does He opened my eyes to see the real friends and the fake friends.
God gives us all discerment about people when we stay close to Him and listen to Him.
My God I Love Thee and I know with Him I can rely on forever more and will not stir me in the wrong direction.
Gods words tells us people will let us down but He will never forsake us.
Just like the lady in the bible who was fussing cause her sister did not want to help her clean house but wanted to be their to greet Jesus when He arrived. She (Mary Madeline) had oil and washed and dryed Jesus feet and this was more important to her then cleaning house. She realized who Jesus was but her sister did not!
So Mary Madeline loved Jesus and didn't want to miss the oppurtunity of showing Him and the other one was more worry about being a good hostess.
So in life some things we let go and they can wait but a friend in need cannot wait is my point.
Never know the oppurtunity of showing Gods love for one another and we must always try to help each other along the way of this world of so many hardships.
Many days my house does not get clean, my bills do not get paid, my groceries store trip is put off, etc...my main concern is helping others to know of Gods love for them.
We do everything again and again such as cooking, dusting, laundry, dishes, etc....but they can wait "If" a friend really needs my help.
I do not worry about what am I to eat or what I am to do but helping others.
It helps me because God sent me a man who understands me and loves me and he helps me. My hubby knows of my love and concern for others and this is why he fell in love with me.
After my divorce of 34 years God sent me another man of his love and I am very blessed from God.
I ran fast to get away from my hubby now, but my hubby now, would never let go of me and this caused me much turmoil and pain for I thought no way can I find love again....but God I know now put him in my life for he understands me better then my ex-hubby of all those years ever did.
God says He will provide all my needs so I know He will.
God tells us when we give of ourselves do we find joy and contentment.
We heal by helping others to heal.
I hope I am not to confusing in what I have wrote here. I do care and am here if you need me.
I do check my email before I come on any groups.
If I am not here it is because I have to have sometime out or am helping someone else that needs me more.
I know God has big plans for me so I just have to be open to what He is telling me and have faith it will happen and it will.
Love and Hugs
