Good Lesson Learned
In my devotions today I learned a valueable lesson in how to treat people. I have not done a great job of this for a long time; however, it does not mean that I can not change this pattern......RIGHT? I can be very sarcastic and down right mean sometimes and I am sorry for that.
I never thought I could be so nasty and ugly towards people, so when people tell me I'm nice or whatever I think...man am I being deceitful to these people or do they see something in me that I CAN NOT see in me?!
I do know that I am more sensitive about life than maybe most and because of that I easily fall into, as the Pastor said in Sundays message, "The fog of the world."
I need to pray for discernment and for Gods grace and mercy for my life so as not to fall into Satans trap.
Take care my friends and may God Bless you

Yeah! More room to grow, huh? I am glad you shared this with me cause I can learn from it also. I have some issues going on right now and it can be scary to see ourselves reflected in other\'s eyes amd to know tat what they see may not be what we want reflected. The best mirror I have ever known is God. There can be no mistaking that when people see you.
Is the prayer for discernment the right prayer? I guess I must be missing something here, Faith. Are you looking for something that is not easy to be seen? In yourself or in others? Do you need to see yourself in others\' eyes? Please, let\'s discuss this some more.
What I mean is that I need discernment so as to recognize those who lie and just simply go against the teachings of Christ. Unfortunately there has been a lot of that at your work place and like a fool I fell into the trap because I want everyone to like meand this is why I get in trouble. (\"THE FOG OF THE WORLD\") I see myself mean and ugly at times and I don\'t like it! I did it with the caseworker for the girls when they were in foster care.........I was angry with her because I felt she was purposely finding fault with my daughter. I was loud, the whole place could hear me. I found out that B.N. at your job is best friends with that caseworker. I sometimes wonder if she was being kind to us so she could report to her friend. It doesn\'t matter because I will never trust B.N. again!
I need to be careful now. My devotions today is on Matt.15:16-17 Becareful of talebearers.
Have a great day. We can talk later.
