Good

It is good to have faith. I like how you described it as a security blanket. It seems to get you through tough times. It is nice reading a piece that is hopeful.

Hi Kristen, and welcome to our site. I hope you will be happy here. I am not sure if you knew though, if you give a four star rating you are supposed to give an explanation of what can be improved on. Because this rating takes away a six star rating from it..
Unless it was a slip of the finger and then it can be changed and saved.
But either way I appreciate your review.

HI Debi, I know what you mean about having
faith my beautiful friend...
it's funny Debi...when it comes to me...I leave
it all in God/Jesus hands...I know how loved I am...
I feel it all around me everyday...and my faith stays
strong...I know when my health fails me at times...
He heals me...all I have to do is ask...pray...

but I question when I pray for others...and it takes so
long for them to heal...if they do...like the baby I babysit...
like you...I stand by my faith...and pray He understands
what I feel...I know it is all in His hand's...and I have to be
patient...without faith...there is no hope...no matter what
His plans are for us...they are made from a love like no other...

I love your poem sweet girl...and love your picture...written
from your heart...love much...Linda xxoo

Hi Debi, your a sweetheart my beautiful friend...
and I don't believe for a minute your
doing something wrong...but I do
believe everything that happens to us
is a test to our faith...

but on the other hand...I believe when
we are born...God knows our every movies until we die...if He sees a faith
shown...why test it ???...somethings
I don't understand...but I won't waver
my love for Him...maybe just scratch
my head...

your so very welcome you...much love coming your way...xxoo ❤️❤️🤗🤗🙏🙏🌼🌼

I love how you have one more time shared with us the reality of your faith in Christ. There are those who would say that adversity proved there is no loving God who cares. Your personal testimony of faith in spite of pain and challenges speaks strongly of the reality of the transcendent goodness of God. Great job sis thanks for "Sharon"

Thanks Dan. After listening to the sermon, I just truly felt the need to give a little of my testimony. The spirit was speaking to me. God bless you, for this lovely review, words and also for the six stars. Lots of love, Debi

Amen to you Miss Debi. I agree with your Pastor, sharing, by way of example is often the best teacher. It's far more persuasive than preaching. I truly respect people who adhere to a set of guidelines in life.

How very kind of you, Bob. There is something about having good Christian friends around that makes you feel more wholesome. And it is so nice that we can share it without fear of ridicule..Thanks for your kind input as that is nice to hear in return.
And thanks for the six heavenly stars too, my awesome friend.
Love, Debi

Your definition of your faith is exactly what I wish I had written - so I don't have to write it now. God bless you, my sweet, sunshine friend! You and I must have gone to very similar churches in our youth, and it always seemed to me there were a great many more don'ts for women than men. Yet, I'm very appreciative of the fact that I learned early that Jesus loves me, and I have a wealth of hymns in my heart! Love you, Verna

Awe, thank you, my sweet Verna. As always, I appreciate your lovely review. I can't imagine ever saying anything that would make you wish you had said them, but I am so touched by your words. Thank you so much for the generous six stars too, my dear friend and sister in Christ.
God Bless you always! Love and hugs! Debi

This is fantastic.
My wife has an autoimmune disease and she has been bedridden for 18 years! Faith has been a struggle for her but she seems to be in lately.
Thank you and God bless you and this is powerful sermon!!!

Hello Joe, thank you for the kind words. I am so sorry about your wife, as I understand too well about the autoimmune system and how it cripples.

It's hard when you feel so poorly to always be thankful. But having faith and a relationship with Jesus who suffered and died for us truly helps me.

Thank you for the generous six stars and for telling me about your wife. God bless you both and I will say prayers for her.
Love, Debi

Hi hon, I am so sorry that this is so late. It certainly was appreciated.
I thought I had thanked you already and when I did it didn't get saved for some reason. I must have hit next page instead of save replies

Thanks again for the wonderful review, my dear friend. Love, Debi

I believe your pastor is right. We need to share our faith and I appreciate that you share yours. Our church is in the process of dividing right now and it's painful giving us all the more reason to share our faith.

Thank you for your faith and the sharing of that faith.

Blessings
Janet

I am pleased to hear your faith is a comfort to you Debi, especially in times of troubles when we are suffering ill health or grief and loss. We rely on our beliefs and appreciate the support of family and friends. My faithful upbringing was not this strict and I gained a lot of wisdom in Sunday school with those interesting bible stories. I enjoyed your open hearted post Debi, love Dolly x x x

Thank you, Dolly, for the thoughtful comments about my faith post.
It was by God that led me to FS in the first place, so I have tried to follow His lead in most of what I write.

Thanks again, my dear friend. You are so very kind and as always, such a lovely woman. Love, Debi
