dealing with health issues of my own... I meant
God be with you, sweet FRiend. I’ll keep you and your young precious family in my prayers.
Hang in there, FRiend. I’ve lost my mom, dad and little brother to cancer and I think about them every day - it gets better over time.
I am sending you a PM (hope you receive it). I have been praying for you every week at Mass. I’ve been there, done that. It’s not an easy road, and something even I struggle with from time to time, even though I have good physical health—more mental due to what seems to be genetics (grandmother was bipolar).
God bless you and your family, FRiend.
A rest is good for the soul. We will welcome you upon your return!
Best to you. As an aside unconcern, ridicule and insult make us tough.
I was talking over these types of probelms years ago with a Pastor friend of mine. He told me then, “the trouble with Christianity is the Christians”. It was meant as a semi-joke but ever so true.
I must say you need to talk with people face to face. Posting to people does not make friends unless you at least meet them. You can follow the election through the Conservatives on radio & TV and online. Focus on what is most important.
I’m always here for you SEOYC if and when you need me! Perhaps just confiding in a few truly understanding people is enough-the rest of those you “meet” may not be up to the task of offering support? In that case, just view them as someone to chat with about non serious issues. Let your mind rest for awhile, few serious problems are solved quickly. All the best to you and contact me if you like!
Seems like life is throwing you for a loop lately. God’s love for you is never ending, He has a plan; I have been through the ringer of life myself, but God lifts me up despite the troubles that seem insurmountable, sometimes though, the things I pray for don’t necessarily turn out in the way God’s is, he can do anything He pleases. Good health to you and all you care about.
I’ll keep you in my prayers... :)
FR is like a safe harbor. It’ll be here when you need it. I, for one, will keep you in my prayers.
God save our Republic and may our countrymen rise to help Him!
May the peace of the Lord be with you.
Don’t tell God how big your storm is. Tell your storm how big God is.
Hope you feel better soon, soyc.
Might want to try listening to Roy Masters...it’s helped me alot and i don’t usually hang my hat on spiritual talk show hosts. But he speaks to the problem of facing our fears and healing..has given me some helpful tips.
Good luck and Godspeed. I’ve left FR at times and I’ve always returned if for no other reason to get daily news.
Prayers up.
In the age of Facebook, too many people mistake a “friend” for an “acquaintance”. And quite honestly, some on FreeRepublic have gotten pretty rude and belligerent as of late. I've found myself visiting less and less lately.
A small number of friends is much better than a large number of acquaintances - so choose your few friends wisely.
I pray that things will get better for you. Good luck and God bless!!
Sorry for you loss and recent burdens. Isolating is a sign of depression, which is normal all things considered in your case. I beg you to try and stay connected because in the long run it will help.
Hoping you will regain the sunlight of the Spirit soon.
God bless you and your family.
