Blessed Be Apostolic Christian Church of America
may Jesus Christ our Lord accept your repentances
and usher you into his beloved and may you dwell in green pastures for all the days of your lives.
Because I love the Apostolic christian church of America so much 1 John 3:18 "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.".............Edit the year 2020: And this is now some weird tribute to my dad's giving spirit. My mom very much didn't enjoy my dad's "giving spirit" because she wanted "fun money" I completely understand...........
Psalm 112:5 "A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion."
Everyone in my family knew "oh call uncle ruby etc." if they needed money, and my dad would always give whoever in the family that needed money money, I don't think he ever turned a request for money down??????????????????? I never asked for money from my parents, I'm pry one the very few people in my family that never did (maybe that I knew my mom's woe over things had something to do with that?).
There is a "happy ending" in the year 2020.............nobody I don't think calls my dad and asks for money anymore (if they do I don't know about it)?????????? They had a fancy home custom built, they appear to be completely out of the "flipping houses" game, which was their means of having extra cash to give to various family members in need. Though my dad says he's going to buy a few rental houses............................so maybe people will call him and ask for money soon???????????
Philippians 2:4 "Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." I called my mom yesterday and she often complains to me on the phone how this person or that person or whoever (not me ever though) just calls to ask her for money they always want money she has for years bemoaned to me, my neice called her this weekend (she never calls my mom like ever) asking for money to go to cheerleading camp......my mom bemoaned that a heap. We are to look to the "things of others"......Philippians 2:4 "Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others."I'm sure for sure there are plenty of people that do good for my mom, the post man, the baggers at the checkout counter - it just can't be as grim as she always paints the picture to me ----- I mean she goes to wal mart and get's fab deals just like me!!!!!!!
And it ain't bad to give your neice some cheerleading money ever now and then or whatever......Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." THE path of the just is AS THE SHINING LIGHT ------ .Philippians 2:4 "Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." Matthew 10:8 "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."
I know it's a dark day, I guess : ) there's still good people to think upon on this earth Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." even if all the good you have to think upon is the amount my mom is convinced is all she has to think upon baggers at grocery stores and mail men which for sure delivery her mail and bag her groceries very likely as they deliver my mail and bag my groceries with care, with some joy, nicedness, that's something ------- I don't very well recogn the world has ended and it is all black until the day comes that my mailman (I doubt he'd ever do this this me making my point via being ridiculous) deliver's my mail in a bag of poop, and the grocery store clerks chuck my groceries at me or meanly say "bag it yourself" it's just not all grim like that yet.
Think on the good - my mom I think makes herself extra miserable cause she all to often way to much thinks on the evil going on around her.......such as people in my family calling her asking her for money a lot - not me though, I'm not definately not a "starving artist" : )
