Life, everything around us, shows us there are ' seasons ' of things, of all things.....there are and will be quiet times with / in The Lord and even among brethren, it is unavoidable, so we shouldn't let it bother us.........But let us also remember that we can choose a season for heartfelt Thanksgiving and great Praise to our wondrous Savior, who has done ever so much, for each and every one of us.......It is also the surest way of entering His presence , and when there, just 'soak ' it up, ALL you can take.......If our hearts are truly in it, we do it out of respect for Him, but as in all things that He does...... if our hearts ARE truly in it, it also has an enormous benefit to us, and is extremely uplifting.........Best of all, is when a small group of like minded people come together with their hearts open and full of praise for Him.........It can truly be as if the very air is different.......I say a small group, as the bigger the group the more difficult it is, for everyone to be of one accord, which is needed for this......I sure hope we can all be encouraging to one another here, as it is not something I find too much of anywhere these days lol .......Looking forward to this..... #Post#: 14383-------------------------------------------------- Re: Hello and thank you By: Rita Date: May 4, 2020, 1:25 am --------------------------------------------------------- Good morning Pia ...... The forum goes through phases , it’s only recently been ‘ reused ‘ ....a group of us from CB wanted a quiet place to meet without all the negatives that come from a larger forum. Helen then got banned from the forum because of inviting people here, I followed ......it was more active back in feb when that all happened......but it tends to fluctuate. Helen and I we’re both asked to rejoin CB, which for me was amazing timing as God really used a conversation with someone there to move me forward - she had ana amazing word from the Lord for me that instantly released me from years of doubt about something - then I started to hear songs in my heart, a constant song as if it was a prayer .....never experienced that before ......so I am kind of on a bit of a different journey at the moment. Learning to be ‘ a child ‘ , rather than the ‘ parent ‘ I must admit that I haven’t been very active here ......back to work after a break so my time is sometimes restrictive for trying to keep up with more than one place ......tiredness sometimes gets in the way as well. We have encountered each other in the past on different forums, cannot remember where or when, but I have it in my memory that I always liked your posts xx I have to go to work soon, but just wanted to say Hello ........ I am presuming that you are on lockdown .......I am a key worker, so life is not as limited as I do at least have a normal work life ! ( well as normal as it can be with 2m distancing and PPE, limited buses and no costa coffee on route ! ) Rita #Post#: 14389-------------------------------------------------- Re: Hello and thank you By: Amadeus Date: May 4, 2020, 6:24 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Really hello to you Pia, While I understood I really missed your posts when you were not there on CB to post any more. Over there I have been asked to help a certain member from another country and it has been wearing on me. He a young unmarried man and his situation and question are a strain on me along with everything else. When they put out my old pastor [now 94] in late 2018 and I followed in support of him, it put me in a place where I cannot remember being before. Now talking to this young man is stretching me, but God is able to stretch even when alone I cannot. I had prayed for God to lead me thinking that perhaps he would put me in another physical church, but from what I have seen there aren't any around where I would fit in... or that they would let me fit in without compromise. Carry on there sister. Give God the glory!
