AdoreHim

Sometimes this site can get pretty intense, with feelings on both sides of adoption. I have an idea, and if you choose not to do this that is fine, but please only positive things today. What is one thing that you are the most thankful for in your life. And if thumbs down could be avoided today that would be wonderful, because everyone has a right to be thankful for whatever they desire to be thankful for. No wrong or right answers

I have done something this year that has proven to be very wonderful. Every day this month I have thought about something that I am thankful for. For me it has reminded me of the things that God has done for me, and how grateful I am , even when things don't go the way that I want them too. Has anyone ever found something to be grateful for in the hard times? We can be thankful IN all circumstances even when we cannot be thankful FOR all circumstances.

"Without God, we cannot. Without us God will not".

You notice that it does not say God cannot. God desires us to be in partnership with Him.

What do you say to your children when they come to you and say they want to believe? Do you tell them it is ok, or do you force your non-belief onto them? I shared my faith with my children, however, they have made their own minds up. I gave my children a choice, do you? i hope so

I have had many people here tell me that I am living in denial because I say that I had a great adoption experience. I am not saying that some people have not had bad experiences, and I don't tell them they are living in denial. If I did not think adoption was a good thing, do you think that I would have gone ahead and adopted 2 children myself?

Nothing is politically right which is morally wrong.

My husband has tried almost every drug on the market and has horrible side effects. Thanks - he is also taking Coumadin, so some herbs interact.

Either we conform our desires to the truth or we conform the truth to our desires. —Os Guinness

I believe it is one of the best descriptions of truth I have read in a long time, outside scriptures.

Even though Cane was deceiving, he really does love Lilly, and i know that Lilly really loves him. I think they are going to use Lilly's cancer as a way to get them back together. I am hoping he does not leave the show, and I hope that she is going to be ok- they are 2 of my favorites on the show

No matter how you may feel about Michael Jackson, or anyone that has passed away, could we PLEASE REFRAIN from the insults and the rude comments. Remember Michael has a family that is mourning right now

Also we can show God that we love Him, by living our lives to please Him, and obeying His word

"our relationship with Christ, is not as important as our being a reflection of Christ".

I think our relationship with Christ is important and that is how we start out with Him, however if we never reflect His image, others will not care that we have a relationship with Him. So I think the quote is accurate.

I am an adoptee and also an adoptive parent and I cannot understand how anyone who has been adopted could be anything but pro-life. If there are pro-choice adoptees out there, I am very interested in hearing why. I am not meaning to offend, I truly am interested.

Obama, in prepared remarks, said, "There is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being."

If he truly believed that he wouldn't have signed the bill to federally fund abortions, and he would not be working on the freedom of choice act- because the most innocent LIVES of all, are in the womb.

My thoughts- he wanted to make everyone happy, so he prayed in the name of every religion.

just curious, someone asked a question about why we Christians stay here when we are mocked so much,and I replied 'if only one person comes to Christ because of something that someone said, it would be worth it.

I want all of us to step out of the box a little here. Instead of thanking God for all the good things, which is easy to do, is there something in your life, that you wish was not there but you have chosen to thank God through it anyway? I have- my chronic pain disease, that I have struggled with for many, many years- I thank God that He continues to send me strength and grace, daily to endure.

"people will not care how much we know , until they know how much we care". I agree with it 100%- but an interested what others think.
