I would agree that the topic of faith could very well be complex when we try to over analize and over explain what shouldn't be. We have made Faith this great unreachable mystery, and it isn't once we come to understand that our so-called understanding of Faith is, in a word, Wack.<BR/><BR/>Our Faith comes from what we believe and if we believe in everything except God then our Faith will be limited to the abilities of people.<BR/><BR/>The scriptures tell us that wisdom is the principal thing and to get wisdom, but it goes on to say that with all your getting to get an understanding. So, our attitudes should always adjust as understanding comes to us.<BR/><BR/>Blessings.I.H.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03861841487009504207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428713732376221642.post-60002431858372745422009-01-26T12:28:00.000-05:002009-01-26T12:28:00.000-05:00... and I realize yours isn't a political blog. ...... and I realize yours isn't a political blog.<BR/><BR/> Faith is a complex topic, of course, and I am interested in how others manifest theirs.

I must be honest with you though; I was a bit taken back when I saw you had left a comment. This being from viewing the comments left by you on Z's site that has you and others seemingly at eachothers throats. I truly hope that isn't your reason for coming over to my site because this site is not a political site in the least bit. So, I'm hoping you didn't come to attempt some type of debate.<BR/><BR/>Now, Secondly the "blessings" I end all my comments with is nothing more than an ending to what I'm saying or benediction if you will to my statement at the time. However in some cases it is the shortened version of the phrase "May the Lord Bless you" or "God bless you".<BR/><BR/>In reference to your story of the woman with the children all over the laundromat, could not the blessing you were wishing on her been "you" perhaps helping her to maintain control of her children while she was attempting to wash?<BR/><BR/>I believe Ducky that we are at times the blessing that we so readily verbalize to people. The scripture says something like this, if you see a person in need and you don't do anything to help them; then how can you say the love of God is in you?<BR/><BR/>I hope I've clarified what you were asking me and again, thanks for stopping by and I hope you come again, really.<BR/><BR/>Blessings.I.H.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03861841487009504207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428713732376221642.post-28366696961891533912009-01-25T14:41:00.000-05:002009-01-25T14:41:00.000-05:00I.H.S. an off topic but serious question.

It's something I do at times. It generally occurs when I see someone who has a particularly tough situation like the woman recently in the laundromat who was trying to deal with two very difficult and probably learning disabled children. They were crawling in the driers and were generally unmanageable. <BR/> So I though to myself that I hope a blessing comes to her, something that makes her life a little pleasant if only for a bit.<BR/> I do this in various situations as a reflex, sometimes when I have been impatient or inconsiderate. <BR/><BR/> I believe that the end result of this is to be more attuned to my obligation to act in a proper fashion here and now and contribute to building the kingdom here and now. That's how I see the blessing occurring.<BR/><BR/> As I said, it's an honest question. I'd be interested in your answer.Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428713732376221642.post-54127073038715553352009-01-23T21:51:00.000-05:002009-01-23T21:51:00.000-05:00Thank you for your kind words on my blog!
