Until the day Christ returns, I fear there will always be rifts of one kind or another in the church, but wouldn't it be great if all of us worked toward a loving and peaceful coexistence? <br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-91949641053055077212017-02-05T11:02:37.605-08:002017-02-05T11:02:37.605-08:00Hi Martha!

Such a great way to rise above the mess and remember who we truly belong to, and that is our Savior, and Our Father. <br />I love your wisdom Martha. I always learn something beautiful here.<br />Sunday blessings,<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-68277711016426621592017-02-03T15:22:00.471-08:002017-02-03T15:22:00.471-08:00Thank you, Jean!

I know as Christians we shouldn't bury our heads in the sand and remain unaware of what is happening in this world, but we also have to step back, spend time with God, so we can gain a proper perspective. Jesus told us to love one another, and this was not a suggestion!<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-30349155345452097882017-02-03T15:18:26.599-08:002017-02-03T15:18:26.599-08:00Don't worry about me going away, Pam - I'm...Don't worry about me going away, Pam - I'm hooked on your blog and the inspiration and insights you share. Whenever I open a new post, I can always count on finding photos and reflections that brighten my day and strengthen my walk with Jesus.<br />We don't get "regular" television at our home, so any news I watch/listen to is either on the computer or on the radio. I want to stay informed as to what's going on, but I do have to withdraw even from that to keep my sanity. What helps me so much is understanding that God is in control, and I truly believe He is at work healing the divisions in our country.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-90260340147826877382017-02-03T13:22:53.499-08:002017-02-03T13:22:53.499-08:00amen! well said.amen! well said.Jean Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407030126646055880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-61795481313143402402017-02-03T12:41:59.701-08:002017-02-03T12:41:59.701-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470690573618782739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-87003820289022381132017-02-03T12:20:41.838-08:002017-02-03T12:20:41.838-08:00Martha, I agree with what you've written.

I know I am withdrawing more and more from social media on Facebook, and even limit how much news I watch (and I am very choosy about which ONE I watch). We've had to curb our conversations with loved ones at holiday meals to be sure no one was "uncomfortable"...and I've watched so many young people expressing their anger and anxiety over this election that I can't believe they are really American....anyway...I spend a lot of time in the Secret Garden talking to Jesus. That helps a lot! And visiting with dear ones here in blogland...so thankful for the love and support here. Don't go away too far, please!! I appreciate your voice!Pamela M.

Cycles of event/outrage/chaos/anger/defiance/despair. Being a witness and manifesting truth is my job. Having faith is my job.
