| You are a bit quieter than most people, but you have a lot of thoughts and emotions brewing. You are moody and dramatic, but you tend to keep that on the inside.
You have the makings of an artist - especially a novelist. [what a joke! LOL] You've got a lot to get out of that head of yours. All because I love choklit cookies? Who knew! |
Bible in a Year:
The Lord’s time for canceling debts has been proclaimed. Deuteronomy 15:2
In 2009, Los Angeles County stopped charging families for the costs of their children’s incarceration. Though no new fees were charged, those with unpaid fees from before the change in policy were still required to settle their debt. Then in 2018 the county canceled all outstanding financial obligations.
For some families, canceling the debt aided greatly in their struggle to survive; no longer having liens on their property or wages being garnished meant they were better able to put food on the table. It was for this kind of hardship that God called for debts to be forgiven every seven years (Deuteronomy 15:2). He didn’t want people to be crippled forever by them.
Because the Israelites were forbidden to charge interest on a loan to fellow Israelites (Exodus 22:25), their motives for lending to a neighbor weren’t to make a profit, but rather to help those who were enduring hard times, perhaps due to a bad harvest. Debts were to be freely forgiven every seven years. As a result, there would be less poverty among the people (Deuteronomy 15:4).
Today, believers in Jesus aren’t bound by these laws. But God might occasionally prompt us to forgive a debt so those who’ve been struggling can begin afresh as contributing members of society. When we show such mercy and generosity to others, we lift up God’s character and give people hope.
How have your “debts” been forgiven? Who can you lift up by forgiving a debt owed or a wrong done to you?
Jesus, thank You for caring about the financial burdens we carry.
“You Are Solid “
I think that means they are saying Im fat. Think I will have another cookie. :)
You are laid back and easygoing. You don't like to make too big of a fuss. Like everyone else, you have your tastes and preferences... you're just more flexible than most people. You are good at compromising, and you get along with all sorts of folks. You are a natural diplomat. You try to make things as easy on others as possible. You know that life can be a drag, so why make it worse for someone else?
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
You Are Fun
Even though a lot of people see life as black and white, you're more flexible.
You try not to take sides, and you like to see every part of an issue.
You get along with almost everyone, and you are a very positive person in general.
Life is so exciting and magical. You choose to be uplifting. You have spirit!
I ate so many chocolate chunk cookies that the coffee shop calls me Cookie Monster.
HO HO HO
You Are Compassionate
You are kind to those around you, but you are also very kind to yourself.
You would never beat yourself up for eating an extra cookie, and you’re good at taking care of your needs.
You love to feel comfortable and comforted. You’re equally at home in a spa and in your mom’s kitchen.
You have been blessed, and you’re good at giving back as well. It makes you truly feel good to help others.

Howdy, radu! Thanks for playing! Being fun is .....well.... fun! :)
Well, you’ve come to the right quiz! :)
I really take issue with this “giving back” wording.
Charity is giving of yourself. Giving something that BELONGS to you TO someone else. Not because you ‘took’ something and need to “give’ it “back”.
To say you ‘give it back’ is taking away the goodness of it.
It totally takes away the meaning. And takes away the Spirit of Giving.
I am certain that is why they changed the words. Trying to erase the Spirit of Giving, as God teachings us to do. Be CHARITABLE.
Repaying something is a ‘debt’. It is not being CHARITABLE.

There wasn't much of a selection of cookies. Most of them were chocolate chip. Whoever came up with these cookies does not have much of an imagination.
That’s a great trait to have. Thanks for taking the quiz tonight!
Sounds like you all right! Good to see you this evening!
Gosh, those six cookies look good.
I saw some white chocolate covered Oreos the other day.
I wonder if there is one of those down in the white space and I just can’t see it.
I’ll give it a try.

“You Are Stupid. There aren’t any cookies down here. What were you thinking?”
Figures.
Been one of those days.
