Duchess Adore ♥ just made a 100K donation to Space Blog bank. I thought we could honor this donation by raiding the author's port and coming up with a prompt item. The port has some awesome C-notes. Buy one and tell us about it. Coco Adore's C-notes
I love C-Notes. They are a great way to just drop and individual an encouraging word and a little cheer. I stopped by this port yesterday and sent a friend a C-note. I hope all of our crew stops in today and buys some notes. I may go and send a few more myself. Prompt: "What prayers have you seen answered recently?" I think it is very important to give credit where credit is due, especially when it pertains to the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore I like to ask about prayer requests and answered prayers. I keep a prayer journal as part of my spiritual disciplines. I'll go back over it from time to time to see what prayers have been answered. I had four main prayers that I had been praying. One was for my friend Tim who fell on the job and severely shattered the bones in his leg. He is healing well and is able to put light weight on the leg now. So one prayer was answered. I had a friend who was hospitalized with what they thought was a stroke. He was not expected to make it. I prayed for him. God intervened and it was not a stroke. He had fallen and hit his head causing a seizure. He is home and doing well now. I prayed for a friend who was being lied to and used. The Lord intervened in that situation and it is working out amicably for all involved. Finally, a friend of mine prayed for school finances for me. Two days later I received a $2500.00 academic honors scholarship from my school. God is in the miracle-working business. Of course, no miracle is a miracle to God. They're just everyday occurrences to Him. He has all power and to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. He does what He wills when He wills. I love watching Him work because it teaches me to trust Him. Thank you Father for the miracles in my life. Thank you for healing my friends, relationships, and the financial blessings. In Jesus's name. Amen. Prompt: Let this quote inspire your blog entry today: "There are other worlds than these." ~ Stephen King I know there are other planets but I doubt there is other intelligent life. That may be arrogant but I blieve God would have told us if there were. As far as other worlds, I would probably agree. Heaven is a world of its own and I know it exists. So in that respect I agree. "Prompt “Anger points powerfully to the denial of rights, but the exercise of rights can’t live and thrive on anger. It lives and thrives on the dogged pursuit of justice.” Ursula K. Le Guin What do you think about anger or about the expression of it?" I think anger is a very natural emotion. It is also a secondary emotion. It is usually the second emotion we feel after feeling fear. Anger is usually the response we have to fear. When I get angry I stop and ask myself exactly what it is that I am afraid of or threatened by in a situation. If it is a reasonable threat I respond appropriately. I try to never get too angry. I have a head injury and a resulting condition that magnifies emotions. So I try not to be overly emotional. } |
