I asked her the other night for ice cream, so the kids would have ice cream at the house. This does two things darling. One she can't show up at the house unannounced telling me to take the kids to get ice cream. Which I think I totally screwed up that night. It was nine o'clock she was sick, and the kids wanted ice cream. Now I didn't think they needed ice cream at nine o'clock. It keeps me away from her store when I have the kids and they want ice cream. Ok, make that three things. All she cares about is that ice cream store. So I'm getting something from her that she cares about. I could say. Nope that ice cream sucks, and never go there just because she is there. Really in my opinion it does suck. When she would come home during WAW@home stage she would reek of it. I couldn't even stand the smell. Sour milk, and burnt waffle cones. I would hold her when she got home. Then I got used to it. Because it wasn't important that she smelled of sour milk and waffle cones. It was important that I was able to hold her. I was able to rub her back. Her feet, and massage her head. She has to be missing that.
Leaving her alone.
My mom's Chaotic church.... Wouldn't know. I'm not going there. What does that have to do with anything?
I simply perfer to stand with the early Church fathers, who knew much more about Christianity than any reformer of the 16th century could hope for let alone answer the questions to the mysteries and conundrums.
Her church is Chaotic, but we still have one thing in common. CHRIST! We are still daughters and sons of Abraham. We are commonly baptized and that gives us Christian unity.
My Mother has grown spritually outside the Catholic Church. I have grown spritually inside the Catholic Church. My mother defends Catholics when people at her Church bash Catholics. She always tells them they would be no match for her son. Her churches roots were methodist. John Wesley was admired by Catholics. Most of Wesley's principles were in direct corralation with the Catholic Church. However I don't believe that her church even follow Wesley's principles.
We are all Christians. It just so happens that Catholics were the first Christians. The good book calls it the way.
To me it comes down to apostolic authority.
AmyC, my mother also said you have no right telling me that my Christianity is on trail, or version there of.
I also would like to know where you were going with speak life, and what does God see my family as. Find the verses... I'm really going to have to play dense here.
The ice cream thing. That is the most she has ever talked to me about anything. Should we be talking about ice cream or the relationship.
