"COMFORTER"

Dear Sisters/Brothers,

I am writing today to let you know that I have been going through more than I ever expected Spiritually, Mentally, Emotionally, Financially, etc...

The reason for telling you is so that in case you are too, you can/will see past the so called bad things/or tough times, etc...

Jesus called the Holy Spirit "the Comforter." John 14:26 (KJV): 26 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

You and I also have/can have the Comforter, and we will know when we do because we will have Peace in the midst of all/grief, we will have Joy in our Hearts no matter what. You can also tell when God is in you/your life, and working on/in/in your life when the good things out number/out weigh the bad. A Few Examples: Don't have all the Children I wanted, but have (1) great one/Son... Don't have a home, but have a place to stay... I'm not financially rich, but rich in Spirit... ETC...

We are Blessed to have God, Jesus, their Love, Grace, Mercy, and Blessings. We have a tendancy to forget/not talk about the good things we have, and have a tendancy to remember/talk about all the bad things instead. God can do all, and help us through anything, or help us to do anything if we stay with/near Him, and it is in His will. John 15:5: (KJV): 5 "Apart from me you can do nothing." We also have to be Obedient, Faithful, and prepared to receive His help. We need a good strong relationship with Him, need to be listening to Him/our Heart/Spirit. Fully Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ! We need to know that all things work together/turn out good when He is in us and in our lives, we have to be ready as well when He calls on us to serve Him/to full fill our purpose.

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV): 6 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him."

Romans 8:28 (KJV): 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

We all need to remember that their isn't anything that God can't do, Blessings, Love, Peace, Joy, Eternal Life, Gifts God has given us, Good Days, each other, Family, Friends,and sometimes even the Bad Days/things that have happened to us to learn, grow, serve Him, be Humble, be Patient, and be Thankful for even just His Comfort.

God Bless You,

"Have You Ever Felt Alone"

   Have you ever felt agony over situations you have faced in life? Have you ever felt alone? Have you ever wondered where all your friends were at a time when you really needed them? They pledged they would be faithful, but when you needed them, they were nowhere to be found! Did you feel abandoned in that moment of need? Jesus Himself was confronted with that same situation when He was in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night before His crucifixion.

  After Jesus was finished serving Communion to His disciples in the upper room, the Bible tells us that He went to the Garden of Gethsemane with His disciples. Knowing the Cross and the grave was before Him, Jesus felt a need to spend time in intercession so He might have the strength needed to face what lay before Him. He also requested that Peter, James, and John come to pray with Him.

   Rarely, if ever, did Jesus need His friends’ assistance; most of the time, they needed His! But in this intense moment, Jesus really felt a need to have the three disciples who were closest to Him pray with Him. Jesus asked these disciples to pray for just one hour. But instead of faithfully praying when Jesus desperately needed their support, they kept falling asleep! Does that sound familiar? Have you had friends avoid you when you needed them the most? When the problems seemed so big, did you friends forget all you had done for them?

   The mental and spiritual battle Jesus was experiencing that night in the Garden of Gethsemane was intense. In fact, Luke 22:44 says, “And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”

   Agony is the word that describes what Jesus was experiencing. in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night of His betrayal. This tells us that Jesus was thrown into a great struggle and fight that night. Knowing that the Cross and the grave were before Him, He cried out, “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me.” (Luke 22:42).

   The spiritual pressure that bore down upon Jesus’ soul was so strenuous that it involved all of Jesus’ spirit, soul, and body. He was in the greatest fight He had ever known. Have you faced a great battle, or are you in the fight of your life at this very moment?

   Jesus’ emotional state was so intense, His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground This is a medical condition called hematidrosis — a condition that occurs only in individuals who are in a highly emotional state. Because the mind is under such great mental and emotional pressure, it sends signals of stress throughout the human body. These signals become so strong that the body reacts as if it were under actual physical pressure.

   This was the worst spiritual combat Jesus had ever endured up to this time. Where were His disciples when He needed them? They were sleeping! He needed His closest friends — yet they couldn’t even pray for one hour! So God provided strength for Jesus.

   Have you ever felt a need for help but found your friends couldn’t be counted on? Did you find your friends sleeping on the job when you felt a deep need for help and support? Were you in a situation that caused you to feel intense agony or pushed to the limit? Are you in that kind of situation right now?

   Maybe you’ve never sweat blood and tears, but I am sure you have cried. Have you struggled in your soul at one time or another because of problems with your marriage, your children, your relationships, your health, or your finances? If you’ve ever felt like you were constantly living in a “pressure cooker,” you know that continuous pressure is hard to deal with — especially if you have no one to lean on for strength, encouragement, and help.

   If you are experiencing one of those times right now, Jesus understands because He faced the same situation in the Garden of Gethsemane. Because of what Jesus experienced, He is able to understand everything you are thinking and feeling today. So take a few minutes to pray, and talk to Jesus about the situations you are facing. He empathizes completely, and He will give you the strength you need to make it today!

The Deeper You Hurt The Greater His Comfort

   When I was a little boy, I sustained my share of scraped knees and stubbed toes. Iodine has an orange-colored tint that even looks as though it would sting (which it did). After the tiny applicator was rubbed on my wound and I was still loudly protesting my mother did a wonderful thing. She would gently blow on the stinging spot. My cries lessened  and she soothed my body and, most of all, my heart.

  This is perhaps one of the sweetest  pictures to me of the God of all comfort. He, by the Holy Spirit, breathes comfort upon the scrapes and wounds of life. The deeper the hurt,the more gently the blowing.

  "HE heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds". Psalm 147:3 

  "O Lord my God, I cried out to you and you healed me". Psalm 30:2

 "He sent His Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions". Psalm 107:20

  Father God, I pray that you will bless all my friends on this site.  Please, blow gently upon their wounds with the breathe of Your Precious Holy Spirit. Bind up their scrapes and hurts in life.  Pour in Your healing oil and revive their spirit. In the name of Jesus I commit them to your care. Amen

Reasons to Leave vs. Reasons to Stay

Reasons To Leave......

We live with his mom, and she runs the show, and even interferes with our relationship

He doesn't meet my needs.......And I need certain things, So that I can get help finding a job and daycare......

I'm constantly looking over my shoulder, stressed out about what am I doing wrong this time!!!

I can't clean.....cook......or even go to the bathroom(literally)....without His Mom Complaining, Picking at Me.....Or finding something that she disapproves of..........

He's already made it clear......That If I leave this house.......My Daughter and I leave without him......That makes things all too clear.....

He doesn't even talk to me anymore........Any time He has something deep in his heart or on his mind.........He goes straight to his Mom.......I might get an update sometimes, if I'm lucky

He wants sex........without taking care of my heart first.

Reasons to Stay:

I Love Him........

My Daughter Loves Him......He is the only Father she has ever known...

She Calls Him Daddy.......

He is the Greatest Man I have ever known........

He is an Awesome Man.........

He has been Good To Me For the Most Part.....

Made me feel so secure, for the most part.....

 

 

What do You think???

Hi....I have breast cancer but rather than sit back and feel sorry for myself, I've decided to do something to help other women with similar diagnoses. As we all know, this is a frustrating disease and one that affects every one of our families in one way or another. Your wife, your daughter, your mother, your aunt, etc.

 I'm writing here to find some help in filling and distributing care packages to women with breast cancer. While I am traveling down my own "pink chapter" as I refer to it, I found there were things I needed to be organized and things that were just comforting and I wanted to save other women from having to search out these things and buying them. As we can see from posts on this site alone, insurance is a big problem, so are daily living expenses and while I don't ask for myself for those things (even tho I'm in the same situation as many in that regard), I am asking for donations to help me fill these care packages for women.

If you want more information, or wish to see my photo, please look at the website I've started toward this effort of giving. You'll find it at www.columbuspinkgive.com .

Please help me fill these care packages and provide whatever little comfort I can to cancer diagnosed women.

NYC What dedication she has for her mom. There need to be more families that care so much for each other in this country . In many families , close ties like this have been lost ,and it has contributed to many bad social conditions. God Bless this young woman and her mother . They will certainly be in my prayers. soulight

Update on Mom 83 Dying, brain cancer, Daughter all alone with nothing

Well this is an update on the 83 year old lady with brain cancer, she is bak in the hospital now with congestive heaart failure and being placed in hospice, I have watched her 38 year old daughter who has never been married or has not even worked in the past 10 years because she has dedicated her life to taking care of her Mom who only has social security, This girl will have nothing not even a place to live because where they live now is only for the elderly and she was able to stay there because she looked after her mom. I went to the hospital and it is amazing this girl will not leave her mothers side and yet she is faced with being homeless and where they live there is no transportation and she does not drive, I only hope that if I live that long that one of my children will be that faithful and unselfish. I do not know if anyone can help but if you can please do and most of all please pray that when the time comes God will give this girl the peace and help her to be strong, this will be a great lose for her.

Comment:her Mom is 83 and has brain cancer, and that is all she has is her mom PLEASE HELP

Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "Aidpage of NYC"

This story is about a Lady I knew 20 years ago when I was an apartment Manager. I had not seen this Lady for about 19 years and last week i was thinking of her, but did not know where she was or lived and then a friens of mine who works in a hospital called and said do you know who i seen and it was that lady I had been thinking about, well I got her address and went to visit her only to find out that she has brain cancer, the sad part to this story is that she is 83 years old and has nothing but social security, but my real concern for her is that she has no one other then her 38 year old daughter who has really never worked or never has been married, she has basically dedicated her whole life to taking care of her Mom, n either one of them never drove and there is no mass transportation here. This elderly woman has a lot of faith and a great out look on life she says she is not a fraid to di and her spirits are good , she just does not want to leave her daughter without no security. She has written over 3000 poems in her life all different subjects but never could get them typed or try to publish them, I have now made a promise to visit them a least once a week there is not really much I can give to them as I have a family to take care of and things are hard, but if anyone has some ideas or resources please let me know after she passes her daughter will have nothing and no where to go, they are wonderful people and have so much love for other people and I just can not believe that God place this child in her life to take such care of her mother and then wind up so alone or that God placed her on my mind and then a friend seen her, So if there is anything I can do or any thing that anyone out there can do please let me know. If we can not give to one another how can we ever receive anything.
