Dealing with family persecution

[Whitehorse]

I don't even know the history of the song-I didn't realize it was from a musical. I just remember Nat King Cole singing it.

Just curious-does anyone know what these smilies are for?:   and  

Maybe it's just me, but they seem partially broken by the background.

A heartfelt thank you for those who have prayed for this issue. It would seem God is indeed working, in a strong way. It seems the party in question may actually be coming to the Lord. Waiting to see if it stands the test of time...

You're welcome, Wh.  Glad to hear of fruit...

IN Jesus' Name...

(I think you can put your pointer on those two smilies, and it'll tell you what they're for-- "Shocked" and "kiss"...)

I always though   meant holy. lol. Sometimes, they Admin of these fourm will edit thesmiles to mean different things. In a lifting fourm I'm as, you put a kiss smile in ,and it becomes a smilely flexing his guns

Oklahoma Howdy to Whitehorse,

I give thanks. Wouldn't it be a blessing if her energy is now turned to helping you in the ministry. I see that my "bull in a china closet" attitude was again wrong. Maybe I just need to lock up that bull forever.

I will pray that she does give her heart to Jesus and become a strong and positive influence in your ministry.

In Christ.

bep: Wouldn't it be a blessing if her energy is now turned to helping you in the ministry.

That's the wonderful kind of stuff God is always in the business of doing.  But frequently I lose faith.

Maybe that's the "magic", huh, Whitehorse.  "Impossibilities" into "possiblities"...

Not my will, but Thy Will be done, on earth, as it is in Heaven...

In Jesus' Name....

Oklahoma Howdy to Symphony,

I'm positive that we all lack patience, need encouragement, and need to trust  in God more, and less in ourselves. There is one of the values of a forum like this, a place we can come and have fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ. This is also one of the values we have in the Holy Spirit who will give us comfort and guidance. It appears that the best things always happen when we wait upon the Lord, seek HIS will, and be patient.

My bull in the china closet JUST CAN'T WAIT to learn patience.  

In Christ.

Thanks Brother Forrest,

I need to read that verse about 5 times per day, at least. I got the tribulation, but I'm still working on patience.

In Christ.

Did someone say patience?

Oklahoma Howdy to Symphony,

Yeah Me!, I had the patience to look at the picture long enough to find Scooby.  

In Christ.

[Whitehorse]

Actually, they're both good-patience, *and* the bull in the china shop in this instance. I did take your advice and decided that the ministry I've been given I also should protect. Soooooo....I did.

   Any time, and I know what you mean by still working on patience.
