As I commented to Connie, truth be told, Fly Trap probably heads some multi-million dollar business and is looking down upon all those who never ate flies as a kid. May God bless him, and all the interesting people He pairs us up with. Thanks so much for leaving a comment.

I've had family members who were visibly disappointed to find they were being sent to my house when they discovered we don't have alcohol readily available. You ARE showing them the love of Christ by not enabling the drinking at your house.Connie Almonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01128392223880799585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169363274654847843.post-55768888312871739472011-08-19T19:18:56.453-04:002011-08-19T19:18:56.453-04:00Christine, thanks for your kind words.

Sometimes it's thank-you-God-thank-you and other times it's why-me-God-why-me? I'm just trusting God has something up His sleeve, and that it has to be good!<br /><br />Sadly, I'm thinking it's not so much your dad hates visiting at your home as much as he enjoys his drink--and knows where to find it easily. Think of God sending His heavenly servants out to embrace you--and your dad and sister--upon hearing your prayer petition. I'm thinking I'm seeing a huge smile stretched across His face. That's what counts, I think.Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169363274654847843.post-55138833062566998642011-08-19T17:21:54.041-04:002011-08-19T17:21:54.041-04:00Fascinating article, Elaine.

But you are so wise to have tried to make sense of them in such a positive manner. No wonder you are such in insightful writer. <br /><br />I remember some awful moments in school too, but I think the most recent and disconcerting was when I heard that my alcohlic father absolutely hated coming to my house. He much prefers my sister's place where they can drink together . . . and sadly get drunk. <br /><br />But it makes me pray for them more, and makes me ask the question if I am doing my best to show them the love of Christ.<br /><br />Thank you for this inspiring and thought provoking article.Christine Lindsayhttp://www.christinelindsay.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169363274654847843.post-76128831008829122012011-08-19T16:22:05.661-04:002011-08-19T16:22:05.661-04:00Connie, thanks so much for asking me to be your gu...Connie, thanks so much for asking me to be your guest this week. God's timing again proves He certainly knows what He is doing and I must trust Him . . .my old car and I finally had to part our ways this week. This comes after many months of putting bandaids on the poor old thing and after two days of--without realizing it--possibly putting my life in harms's way while out on the road. But, He waited until a big piano job was completed so financially it wasn't too painful to purchase another vehicle--another previously loved car, but much more updated than my old clonker. It's amazing how much on a daily basis He shows me. I hope this blog feature will encourage others.Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.com
