Then I read what your thoughts were in the end....I needed to hear that today. "Living in light of eternity" is hard, but how we need to be viewing all of life.

I think we all feel that gossip is wrong, and yet it can be so easy to say way too much and show off way too much opinion and judgment of others.<BR/><BR/>I think you are brave to re-tell the story here, and to share what you learned from the episode.<BR/>thanks for sharing.Hen Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237819297457183820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431443674922628442.post-14336217495819163752008-04-23T08:02:00.000-07:002008-04-23T08:02:00.000-07:00How awful!

Your reaction to it is inspiring, however. You seem to have taken it pretty well, remembering that people can and will fail us, which is something we would all do well to remember from time to time.

But it sounds like you're handling it okay and are actually using this as an opportu.... Wait a minute ... you said "cell phone" didn't you? Sooo... Since I don't have a cell I guess you're probably not talking about me and that time I was talking to.... Yeah, well, uh ... nevermind.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, what a bummer.

I am thankful that, when we listen to Him, God uses such things to teach us and to 'sharpen' us - even though it is hard. I am thankful that your strength is in the Lord and while for many others, this betrayal may have embittered them, you have chosen instead to say, "Yes, Lord. You were right. Men will fail us. But You never do."<BR/><BR/>Psalm 20Cutzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815741632369910907noreply@blogger.com
