The Word of God tells us what to do

I just love the Word of God especially when it tells us something to do. For instance, I love that the Bible tells us how we are to confront our brother for forgiveness, to talk it out, to resolve the problem. I love it when two people are ready for that and can forgive! I love it when people are humble enough to apologize for things they may not have even meant to hurt the other person with. Because I believe when we are able to humble ourselves and apologize for something we know was not meant to hurt the other person, then it is a humble way of telling the person, 'I see what my action did to YOU, and even though I did not mean it that way, I am sorry for it hurting you. Can you forgive me?' I know how I feel when someone is willing to see things from my point of view and I am thankful to God when He gives me what I need to be willing to humble myself in order to see where the other person is coming from. I praise God when the body of Christ can come together and forgive, it's a beautiful thing. I used to be really scared of having to go to my brother to confront or to ask forgiveness, but now that I see the beauty of it, I am not fearful anymore. I just want the relationship back and the body of Christ to be mended that I am willing to humble myself, willing to listen to the other person, willing to forgive so that Christ is ultimately Glorified. That is what all this about, God's Glory!

Have a great day everybody and learn to confront and forgive with no fear, keeping the goal of God's glory in your mind,

Love,
Susan

Cow Appreciation Day was a huge success at both of our stores!
The Westport Rd. store had about 290 Cows show up or people with the cow headbands.
The Mall had 192 of the same!
My goal for the mall was 100 and I exceeded that! Glory to God!
All that hard work paid off and I just praise God!


Michael's mom: She starts re-hab this week. She has been very complainy. See, she has bought into that whole 'name it, claim it' theology. And she just does not understand why God has not healed her and she feels like life cannot begin until she can walk again. We have been talking to her about this to show her what Scripture says and to show her that God uses the shameful things of the world to shame the wise, the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God can and has a purpose for her, wheelchair or not. There is much to do and many decisions to be made, but the Lord is being incredibly faithful. His hand is on all of this and it feels great being a family.

Please be praying for all of these things, how can I be praying for you all?

Psalm 119:45 'And I will walk in Liberty, for I seek your precepts.'

Have a great day and walk in Liberty!
