On helping others...

In the past when someone came to me with a problem, my immediate reaction to myself was, "How can I fix this?". But I began to realize I don't have all the answers and the ones I was giving may not be so great...not that I had any complaints on that but you never know.

Now I just listen and pray for God's intervention, will, blessings...what ever the case may be and I thank Him in advance for whatever the outcome will be.

I'm pretty sure the Bible says something in there somewhere about seeking wise counsel - I'm sure that's isn't me. And doesn't it say something about putting people on the right path if they veer off? This right here shows I need to study the Bible more...I AM, I promise. I just haven't gotten to this yet evidently lol.

I have always felt that listening is the best thing to help someone - to let them get it off their chest and mind and a lot of times they work out their problems just by hearing themselves tell the story.

Am I shrinking from my duties as a Christian by just listening? Am I taking the easy way out because I don't like to criticize people or confrontation? I don't know. Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me.

We had a very blessed weekend. We travelled to Waco to see a friend of ours who had a kidney removed and he is doing very well. In fact, he came home yesterday!

Saturday, Martin met with a few other men at Happy Trails and worked on the corral while I went on the Saturday shopping  expedition by myself. :( I missed the hubby but I did enjoy getting my hair cut and visiting Readers Choice Bookstore. It is a "readers exchange" establishment. I took 10 books and only came home with six different ones. So that is progress. Anyone that knows me knows I have a love (compulsion?) for books. I got back into town in time to pick up hubster.
He had to be back at the church at 3pm for another Elder duty and I sorted at my old trailer while he was gone.
I enjoyed my girls too and they met us for church Sunday morning. That evening Martin grilled hamburgers YUMS and Kristen and I played double solitaire. We play almost every day. It is SO much fun and really gets us riled up.

Back at work today....for another week of  FUN in Human Resources. I love my job!!

Have a blessed day and I hope to return on another,
