I gotta tell you, your "Strong Woman" meme , as silly as it is/was, has REALLY stuck with me and given me a good private laugh (ok, much more than once) over the past couple of weeks during situations when I've really needed a good laugh/encouragement. Thanks again for posting that.
The religious and even secular establishment will rarely protest when we claim that God-a safe name that can broadly include many religions-works in our lives, or we want to bring glory to "God." But crediting "Jesus"? That's another story. Since salvation is "through His name" and there is "no other name," the enemy will do all he can to silence mention of the saving name of Jesus. https://www.icr.org/article/15125
"Love is messy. Love will involve hardship, demand patience, require forgiveness, test maturity, strain friendship, challenge priorities, refine character, ignite the heart and unleash the soul. Love is not something you sing about, it’s the reason you sing. Love is not something you write about, it’s the reason you write. Love is not something you live to find, it’s the reason that you are alive." ~ Mark Hart ♱
Hi Carrie, I'm so sorry to read about your beloved father. I hope you are doing better -- I'm happy to pray for you -- and I just wanted to say that it's "Smashing" to see you back! We've missed you! ❤️ Love and hugs, Seoul
My father, who was ill, became worse in June. He passed away in July. It's been a very difficult time for me, as he was the closest person to me. For this reason, I've been/will be away for a while.
Winter and some personal things held me back a bit, but I'm thawing out and feeling smashing.
I hope you are doing well also!
Smashingness and blessings to you 🙏
