In some posts, especially the longer ones, there have been little pearls dropped in that don't always get a response back to, or acknowledged to their importance.

If anyone out there has felt invisible...
Please know you are very important!

In Christ,
Brenda

Hi Brenda, I really feel I have very little to offer at times, but thank you for letting me know and make me a little more comfortable in posting.
I would love to share more but must not be the right time now. :)

Dave in Tenn:
Brenda, it's a beautiful thought and I'll echo it wholeheartedly.  Too many times to count I've read such pearls here, so I also thank those of you who have laid them out without direct reply.

For my own part when posting, its the thought that goes into a thoughtful post that is of benefit to me, whether anybody directly replies or not.  Maybe you've heard the adage:  Writers are stupid. They don't even know what they think until they write it down.  Of course, this is a forum so at times we might not get beyond the first draft, so to speak.   ;D

 

cjwood:
God has surely given you a very tender heart brenda. thank you for the love you share in your posts.

OBrenda:
Samson,

My feelings were coming from the fear I offended you, and may stupidly be offending others.
Like Dave said about writers...we are stupid! ;D
We don't always close all the windows, and point out the doors to our readers.
And we should be grateful to those that come in and add to the understanding, as you were trying to do.

If there was nothing to add to a post that was started, then why start one.
As I reflect and reread this, I see that my ego was in a rush to defend my intentions.  I do try really hard to be sensitive to others, and balance it with honesty.  I go over what I write several times to make sure I'm being clear. 

Like everything we take credit for as doing right, Pride is always there trying to creep in.  I know I was led to write this post, as God showed me something in myself to work on.  Do you think?...If we truly understand righteousness comes from God, and not ourselves, we will stop reacting in defense of ourselves?

Reflectively,
Brenda

Vangie:
Brenda, I totally understand what you mean.  But we're friends and family here, and it's all good.  As Claudia said and I second, you have been given a tender and beautiful heart, and you shouldn't second guess your own (well meaning and loving) intentions.  (Easier said than done, as I said, I totally relate and put my foot in my mouth often trying explain myself so as not to offend others!! :D)  Looking back, I wonder was it necessary even?!  It's a kind of difficult medium here thru which we communicate, but we all appreciate and love you--please don't second guess that!

Love in Christ,
Vangie
