This is what I want to see happening more as we work on forming small groups at church...creating spaces where we are really listening and reaching out to each other. We all need it in some way.Reahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13014289571808946059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3630810640038144697.post-81116265011547337272014-08-25T11:28:46.497-05:002014-08-25T11:28:46.497-05:00Thanks for sharing.

They say they fine and they may look fine on the outside but you never know what is tearing them up on the inside. People love to put on the facade that everything is fine when it really isn't. And we ALL do it. We need to learn to be more open with each other and to find the time to really listen to each other and reach out to the hurting, after all isn't that what He would want us to do?ZoAnnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3630810640038144697.post-14469522838279914102009-03-26T07:25:43.000-05:002009-03-26T07:25:43.000-05:00This needs to be published somewhere! The analogy...This needs to be published somewhere! The analogy was wonderful and I just had my blood drawn today and my puny to begin with veins were extra puny do to my fasting...not fun. But so often I went through life and still sometimes get back into the "I'm just fine" pattern. But something just hit me...sometimes I do that out of pride and sometimes, just because I don't want to hear a flippant response. I think that Jesus calls us to be both open about ourselves and gentle when others open up to us. This was truly beautiful my friend and blessed me greatly. And I also had a thought---sometimes the white little lies we tell are rooted in the the big dark ugly lies from the pit of hell that our Enemy tells us.BecomingMehttp://www.becomingmethruhim.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3630810640038144697.post-18479621376000507962009-03-27T21:19:23.000-05:002009-03-27T21:19:23.000-05:00Right on!

Or, as Beth Moore would say, live "see-through" lives.<br><br>My 4 year old daughter told me today that she didn't want to ever be pregnant, because then she would "have blood". I tried to explain that "having blood" would be far out-weighed by having a baby! ;-Dchristajeanhttp://transforme-cc.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
