Relationships

Play for the Audio Version



I am back because I forgot to give shout-outs. Shout out to Adrian. She was our waitress when we were at Red Lobster with my in-laws to celebrate my birthday for last week. And shout out to other workers at Red Lobster. Can't remem aber their names but I know they start with a T and M. Praying they will be encouraged by the writings and have a blessed day!

My husband has a bunch of plants all around the condo. I don't know because  I never personally ever got into the plants thing. Same with flowers. Every now and then I appreciate if Je would give me roses or nice pink carnations once in awhile. However, it's okay.

Every now and then, I catch Joe taking care of his plants. I'll see him give them water. Plants need to be given certain things in order to keep living. Water along with sunlight is obligatory for plants to live long and pretty much prosper if they want to remain living in this world.

That kind of reminds me of myself. In the predicament I am currently in I mean. I cant and don't walk. Honestly, there are things I need help with I am positive no normal person needs help with. 
An example I can think of right now is simply getting up off the floor.

In the book of Colossians
we read about Paul's letter to Colisae. He describes how our relationships should look. We need to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. (Colossians  3:12) We have to forgive each other and live in peace " As members of one body ( Colossians 3:15).

However, when the spirit gives us power to bring forth humility in our relationships for each other that points directly to Christ! ( John 13:35) And, who do you think it brings glory to? It gives glory to God!


Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him
