I agree with LGBT's right to marry, be recognized and respected. <br />I care because, what if one of my four beautiful children ended up (because I do not feel it is a choice) being gay? I refuse to be part of something that would ostracize them. My God LOVES ALL! Does being gay make any of my children less beautiful? NO!<br />I believe in reincarnation, and this is not my first, nor will it be my last go-around on this Earth. If my husband (soul-mate) and I meet again we should be able to love one another regardless of which vessel God gifts us with. Maybe we all need to try to learn the lessons our Lord has to teaches us and I believe that among those lessons is to learn acceptance, compassion and most of all UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.<br />Please join us in attempting to get closer to God's Goals for us.<br />ImmortalAmbitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230880143560814570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177051248746809707.post-37352360496355033022013-08-07T05:18:45.616-07:002013-08-07T05:18:45.616-07:00Yet we should not strive for just Heaven but the K...Yet we should not strive for just Heaven but the Kingdom of God because it is the Kingdom of God that we strive to do the Will of God and that is turning from our own sins and running to God as well as preaching that Gospel of Jesus to others.

Love. Loving others as He loves us. Loving our enemies. Loving Him and demonstrating that love by loving his beloved children... all living souls He created. Heaven is here... or the capacity of Heaven because HE IS, was, and will always be here, there, and everywhere. Jesus is that love in flesh. Love not the "emotion" but the action word of putting others first, above our earthly desires, needs, and wants. Heaven is a decision. Do I think it is also likely a place? Yes. I do. But I believe the essence of Heaven is love... and we all can experience that before we die if we are open and willing to Love.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00990762259006899558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177051248746809707.post-29221702173171158762013-08-03T17:27:40.697-07:002013-08-03T17:27:40.697-07:00All the poem sounds great and and influence on the...All the poem sounds great and and influence on the emotions we do know the door to Heaven is Only through Jesus Christ.

In fact, I think that's really what that Jesus guy was trying to tell us! ;) In fact, loving others is top on His list of Do's! I sure felt His love through Lanette... and I'm convinced God is pretty pleased with her Steak n' Shake ministry! I think your co-worker might benefit from this reminder as well... whether He interacts with 2 or 20... each person benefits from feeling cared for and loved. Thanks for your comment....

I wonder if anyone has ever ask her questions about God in a deeper sense? Often times I wonder about those who are Christians and who have an opposite attitude because they hate their job. A fellow at my job is in this situation. He was forced into his job because of a medical condition and feels as if he is getting the run around from management and it seems to have worn on his attitude but he is very quick to talk about God and the Bible with you. He is not in services industry like this lady is though so he doesn't see the public.

I really only give gifts around Christmas (yes, gift giving/getting stresses me out so much I've made deals with all my friends to not do it for birthdays) and last Christmas it stressed me out so much I almost had a panic attack in Fred Meyer. It was bad. But I think I will definitely see about giving a couple of gifts for no reason. It actually sounds not stressful and fun!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121728178185422773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177051248746809707.post-83477002563911101462013-06-28T13:57:21.198-07:002013-06-28T13:57:21.198-07:00http://www.amazon.com/Queer-Thing-Happened-America...http://www.amazon.com/Queer-Thing-Happened-America-Strange/dp/0615406092/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372452628&sr=8-1&keywords=a+queer+thing+happened+to+america<br /><br />This is also a great book on the subject. I believe that this homosexual movement is bring a mightier culture war to society than even the abortion issue.<br /><br /> I see the war in this as one side saying it is about people loving each other and they want equality. Equality in that homosexual marriage is = to traditional marriage. The opposition says homosexuality is immoral and homosexual marriage is a sanction of immorality. Even the nature of it tells mankind that homosexuals cannot reproduce but it doesn't means emotions cannot be twisted.<br /><br />Have you noticed that at one point in time it was said homosexuality made up for 5% of the population and then it went to 10%? So why is it then being pushed into society so hard that even puppets are being made to be gay in order to make 'homosexual' kids feel better? It seems to me that America is petting a heavy fetish with homosexuality now.<br /><br />I even had an individual tell me that morality was individualist when talking about the standard of morality. I believe it is this kind of thinking that help progress these things in our society.

I think I needed the reminder to so God placed this topic on my heart. <br /><br />I have found a fun way to recover from this is to give a few things away yourself... for no reason & with no strings attached. After that, it somehow becomes much, much easier! You remember the joy! I think we rob people of that joy if we forget this. If we receive graciously they are then able to experience the joy that the blessing of giving can bring! By consciously giving this way we will remember this feeling and are less likely to feel guilty accepting gifts ever again! ;o) <br /><br />PS I'll likely have to re-read this post around Christmas!
