    I needed the intro about forgiveness. Also as an avid watcher from the beginning I loved seeing all the family. Gods greatness truly shines in you. You look even better with age. My great grandma lived til she was 101. She used to say that Godly women age slower

    I have found that when I need to forgive someone and I’m struggling, I pray for God to bless them. I pray that until the pain and resentment is gone. Then I realize, that at first I was going through the motions, but in the end I really do want God to bless them. That doesn’t mean that I will subject myself to them again because I have had to learn to set boundaries, but I do forgive them. Thank you for talking about this today, Amy. I really appreciate the encouragement every day. 💐

    Thank you for the words about forgiveness! Someone hurt me a few days ago and the Lord quickly reminded me to forgive. It's not easy but the Lord is guiding me through it. Even if that person never apologies, I will have peace because I have forgiven and I'm at peace with my heavenly father! Thank you, Amy!

    I admire your commitment to your faith. In the past I have had some terrible experiences with people who claim they are lead by God. To the extent of feeling so low I’m of no worth and a terrible person. So now I avoid anything to do with religion. I do miss certainly aspects, however I just thought it was the gathering side of things. Not so sure now. Feel like I’m lost, I have now moved from the place I used to live so no longer see those terrible people, no one ever believed me of how these people abused their power never mind the effect it had on my life resulting in cutting everyone and everything off. I now sit here alone and wonder where I went wrong. Those people are still claiming they do Gods work. This is the first time I have ever mentioned it to anyone. I watch you every day you are so inspirational. Xx

      I am so sorry to hear of your experience.. unfortunately it happens ....I can share what helped me the most grow with God and my relationship with him ..we moved from Michigan to north Carolina and it was all new...I was away from my groups I was away from my church and everything took time but i resolved okay God i am going to trust you and grow with everything that you want me to do ..I started listening to sermons...read my word...stopped doing some things that were just cultural and realized i did them out of everyone else doing them not what God wanted me to do ..it helped to start fresh ...to trust God and not a church and then when i started becoming involved i was very content on who i was in Christ...not conforming to other people or feeling like I had to fit in ..I just worked on me and shared my gifts..it was much better and it helped shape where I am today. A personal relationship with Jesus is much better than mans..rules..rules are okay i understand why they do them but if you aren't convicted to do them..then don't ;) God has you in a particular place even after all the hurt to make a difference in your life...I am praying for you

My great aunt, who was 96 yesterday went to be with God and reunite with her immediate family. She has wanted to go see God about 8 years and she finally got her chance. Two weeks ago she started failing. All the family, who wanted, went to go visit her. Yesterday morning, we knew it would day. There were family that were there before us and needed to leave wirh obligations. My sister were able to be on each side of her and just rub her forearms and shoulders. She passed very peacefully and I feel mso happy and at peace and where she wanted to go. I am sorry if this brought back a triggering time in your life.

      You can substitute the pudding by using full fat yogurt or sour cream. Consider adding a bit more vanilla extract and sugar to your mixture since this ingredients are pretty plain and you won't be getting that extra vanilla flavor or extra sweetness from the pudding,. I would say about a teaspoon or so of vanilla extract and maybe a few extra tablespoons of sugar. Hope this helps 😊

HOW CAN YOU FORGIVE THAT PERSON I say God wants us to forgive all. You can become so sick physical. Mental and spiritual. Your kid did xyz to you how can you still love him.
