That reminds me of a tale an old preacher man told us once. He said he had a chicken that died. He buried it and prayed over it that God would make it live again. Each day he dug it up and then saw that it was still dead and re-buried it. Of course each day that went on, it smelled worse than the day before. He said that was like us with our burdens and ill feelings....each time we dig it up ...it stinks a little more. He was just an old mountain man with hardly any education but I do think he was right. Thank you all for praying for me and my tongue. I am going to do the best I can to leave that "chicken in the ground"! Much love to all, Jennie

Hi Jennie,
I used to be the BEST at getting people back. It was an art.  8)

Then God got ahold of me and tested me BIG TIME. I lost 2 jobs in a row to being slandered as soon as I became a Christian. So He squeezed that out of me quickly. ;) :-X

My advise to you is what I do when I am harmed by someone.
The Word tells us our battles are not with flesh. So I remember that the person who harmed me is being used to do so. If I go down to that level, then I lose, but as you said, other innocents will lose as well.

I have a book, one of the few that I will keep with my new learning, that is called THE BAIT OF SATAN.  It is all about how our being offended is a waste of time and is so harmful to us.
Don't choose to be. The simplest and the hardest thing to do....

Blessings, Lin
