I am a very firm believer in the fact that God puts people in our lives for different reasons/at different seasons.
I once told Mac the following and I try to remember it everyday:
"God will send the right people to our life at the right time. We must first let the wrong people walk away. The wrong people will use our weaknesses to stay in our lives. If we don't let the wrong people walk away, we'll miss God's best."
The people here I believe are God's best...
Sent here for different reasons...
Think about it...
We are all basically going through almost the exact same thing, found ourselves losing it all, came upon either the book or the website, connected with one another to then draw strength, faith, empathy, compassion, encouragement, love and friendship and we are all strangers...
We share thoughts, fears, worries, doubts, things that some consider TMI, we laugh, we cry, we mourn, we rejoice...
We help one another out all without ever meeting...
If you don't believe in God, that right there should at least put a seed of doubt in your mind.
Oh, Serenity, somebody needs to "sticky" that post. I'm keeping it in my archives. That is the best description I've seen yet for what we all do here.
It has been such a blessing to me, and I continue to be blessed, as I (hopefully) bless others. It's why God came up with the concept of a "body" of Christ. He WANTS us to all need each other, and to HAVE to work together, to get it all done!
