Sorry if I confused anyone but my previous post should have been addressed

to KIM

and not to Pauline.

Pauline has already received feedback from me. She is a special lady.

Thank you Roger for kind words which are encouraging! I can think of nothing greater in all of life than for us to be told or know that Jesus is visible in us. I really can think of nothing else greater to feel great about, because nothing else can affect another person so greatly as for them to "see" Jesus and hear him, his words, and I am a great believer that he chooses and loves to not only work through man but "display" himself in and through you!

A quick story?  I had 1 particular "spiritual mother" once whose love toward me felt even greater than my own earthly mother's love, although I do know the unsurpassing love a mother. She led me into a deeper walk with the Lord; she prayed for me consistently, and as a result always "knew" things about me, and ministered to me about them. A time came when her and her husband, ministry partner, were to move away. One thought I had was, now I will not be able to ride on her great wings anymore and will I then be able to soar in the spirit as I have with her?  Yet I knew that we are not meant to survive on other people but on God himself, so I did pray and asked that God would "impart" her spirit to me, just as the mantle of Elijah was imparted to Elisha.

Years later this was brought to my remembrance and I could truly and deeply feel and sense and even see in my ways, that it was like I was her real daughter; I still am so much like her in many ways, and thus I "feel" this spirit of hers "in" me.  God seemed to say to me, "This great Love you have felt from this woman is "My Love!"  Wow!  This was like a revelation to me at that time; God was showing me that it was Really "Him" that was loving me so much and that I was loving so much, and so, I would never truly be without the love and spirit of this woman because it was God;s, who is "always" with us.

So then I say to you, know that when 'you' love, build up, encourage other people, what you are actually doing is allowing God to be a hand extended through you to others.  And even for you to say something so simple as, I recognize the Lord or his words in you, is a sweet blessing; it's a builder, and I believe so much in "building" other people, and soak it up when people build me! 

   Thanks Roger and I pray God will give you a special touch of his spirit,  love kim 

Hello Lady Myrna,

CONGRATULATIONS on your POTW award. It is well deserved and we rejoice with you, our dearest friend. May this year be one with more accolades, love and peace!!

Hi Sammi,
I have been missing you.  It is wonderful to see you and as usual, a spectacular job.

Hello, Neil!!
What a wonderful job you have done in your introduction of Pauline's article.  I would never expect less than perfection from you and it is perfect.  You captured the article beautifully. 

And, my friend, Jill,
Well said!!! I love the way you point out the commanding way that Pauline has written her article.

Sweet, sweet Pauline!
If only I had learned this long ago.  I am not so sure it would have changed the direction of my life, but there have been so many times when duct tape would have come in handy to cover my mouth.

Your article is jamb packed with wisdom and truth.  When I was reading it, I knew that it was all being written from your heart.  I wll remembered the times when anger got in the way of seeing the full picture and I thank you for sharing this with us.

Hugs and blessings,

Judy
