My leukemia's back.

[Pampered chicken girl]

A reminder for all of you:
God loves you! He is great and loving and perfect!
God doesn't expect us:
To be perfect
To stand on the street corner yelling the gospel
To save everyone (although it doesn't hurt to help someone with their faith)
To not sin

What he expects of us is:
To realize our faults and pray for forgiveness
To act like Christians
To love, respect, and help others (even if we don't share beliefs)
To do our best!

Remember that Jesus hated nobody, even when they disagreed he still never hated. It's impossible to be a "perfect Christian" but it is possible to be a good Christian simply by following the thing that God expects of us (and a few other things). If we were supposed to be perfect then there would have been no reason for Jesus's sacrifice and there's a reason for everything. I HIGHLY recommend reading the 7 day devotional that @Lemon-Drop posted, it is a beautiful sentiment. I hope this helps you guys!

You didn't mention forgiveness, but we practice that here. It's ok if you posted on the wrong thread.

I'm from Prayer Warriors and I'm curious... how is the OP? Is she still around? We will be happy to add her to our prayer list if she'd like? I've had family and other loved ones with leukemia, so I'm familiar with the journey....

 

[BigBlueHen53]

I read back a bit so I see the OP has passed but there are others fighting this battle. I'll pray for you, @getaclue, if that's okay; let me know if we can add you to the PW list.

 

[getaclue]

Yes, the OP has passed. She was such a beautiful person, everyone kept this thread alive in memory of her. Thank you for adding me to the PW list.

On another note, my duck Quacker Sparkles, and my cat Emma have both lost their minds. Quacker Sparkles stopped sleeping in her duck house months ago. Quacker Sparkles adopted a chair on the patio, and sleeps there. When she is laying, we find the eggs in that chair too.

Emma, our cat loves sleeping in the duck house. She's pretty much taken it over.

They've swapped brains?!?

You know the swap is complete when Emma starts laying eggs and Quacker Sparkles starts hacking up hairballs.
