To my brothers and sisters here

[Shylynne]

...and yet another thread completely derails...

And of course I will be blamed again.

of course!    

crocodile tears

"Every man, my brother; every woman, my sister. Each members of a common family, for we are all brothers. Many of us, however, think we are but step brothers, not kin to each other. Like the old Christian sitting on the roadside, who had just taken the lid off of his dinner bucket to eat dinner.
An old tramp walked up and said, " Mister, give me a little piece of bread. I have no money, no home, no bread."
The old Christian cut him a slice of bread and started to hand it to him, but said, " Before I give it to you, I will ask the blessing."
He looked up and said, " Our Father, which is in heaven, bless this bread we eat. Amen."
The old tramp looked at him, and said, " Our Father in heaven?"
" Yes," said the old Christian, " He is our Father."
" Then," said the old tramp, " if He is our Father, we are brothers, aint we? "
The old Christian replied, " Yes, we are brothers."
Then spoke the old tramp, " If we are brothers, cut me a thicker piece of bread, and put some meat on it."
My idea of brotherly love is this. I have two brothers in the flesh. If either of them had a bed in his home, a plate at his table, a dollar in his pocket, or a drop of blood in his veins too good for me when I should need it, the same I would not call my brother at all. We are brothers and we should be kind."

Amen Shylynne,

If my brother or sister have need of bread may I offer them meat also.

If they are cold may I give them warmth.

If they are weary may I give them a shoulder to rest on.

If they have a thorn in their eye may I first remember the log in mine.

Eph 4:29  Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Eph 4:31  Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Eph 4:32  And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
