Good Day, CCers

[In3dee]

What are your plans for the day? Do you have routines? Something special planned? Just a getting-to-know folks thread.

I owe, I owe.
So off to work i go.

This. So much this.

Sorry (?) that you have to go to work. Unless you enjoy it - then I'm happy for you!

I will be working in my garden in a bit. Doing some Bible study later. Then making dinner for DH

If one views work as a gift and meets with God there, missing work might mean missing God. If you eat or drink or work, it's all to be done to the glory of God. Gardening as well.

Hi @In3dee, welcome to the site!

What kinds of things are you growing, what section of the Bible are you currently in (I'm in the middle of Jeremiah right now,) and what are you making for dinner?

Hi, and ty for the welcome. Tomatoes, oranges, plums, pineapple, onions, pears, figs....
I am going through Proverbs again currently. Needed a boost!
I have no idea what I will make for dinner. What are you having?

Today is a work day for me also .

I am semi-retired and work three day weeks, six hour days .

I love going to work on Tuesday knowing that tomorrow is another day off .

WOW!!

You have quite the impressive garden there, as I don't think I've met anyone who was growing pineapples!! Amazing!

Unfortunately, I have a Killer Thumb when it comes to plants but I keep trying!! I have a small indoor garden as I have no means of planting an outdoor one (and would probably find that too much to keep up with.) Every morning after I get my coffee, I go in to greet my plants and tell them what a good job they're doing -- in the hopes of convincing them to stick around!

I tend to read the Bible every other day or so -- I find I need a day off or two to try to digest, though I read the "Our Daily Bread" devotional every day.

As for dinner... I know this sounds awful, but... I've had a hankering for a box of good old Kraft macaroni and cheese.

Yes, I've had homemade and made renditions on my own, but for some reason, when it comes to comfort food, I keep on running back to my trusty old friend, Kraft.

I dunno. I woke up after one of the craziest breakthroughs with God last night. So I'm still in awe about it.

I even reached out to a past relationship, forgave that person for hurting me and it felt great to have the Jesus in me to give me that courage.

May I ask, did you also ask for the other person's forgiveness?

In any friendship or relationship, the wrongs are never-one sided.

Forgiving the other person is only half of the equation.

I say this as a person who has been "forgiven" by people who had no acknowledgement of what they themselves had done wrong.

Forgive me, but it always tears at my own scars when I read stories of forgiveness that is given and never asked for in return.

I'm not sure if I would receive their forgiveness

Thank you for this very honest answer.

Maybe, forgiveness is sometimes offered but not asked for because the person is coming from a place of unsurety or fear of being denied forgiveness in return -- I hadn't considered that.

You've given me something to really think about.

God bless you!

I enjoy mac and cheese.... my body doesn't. LOL

Wait, what?

So... I don't really know you, so all I can go on is what I have observed from people in general.

From what I have observed, if you are not able to receive their forgiveness, that indicates a high probability that you have not really forgiven them.

Sounds like me and those cheeseburgers at the auction house...

I hang out at the auction house on Saturday nights. They have a cook shack in the back that makes cheeseburgers that my father has rated the best cheeseburgers he has ever had.

I like my cheeseburger with three onion rings, ketchup and ranch on it. But lately I have come to the uncomfortable realization that I'm not as young as I used to be and I can't pack it away like I used to could. Sometimes shortly after I come home from the auction, I am up for a few hours with an unhappy stomach.

Of course. it's very scary to ask for forgiveness.

It's a lot easier to forgive someone.

You know, I have to say, this is a VERY good point and I'm glad you pointed it out.

When people told me they forgave me but NEVER asked for my forgiveness in return, I always assumed it was because they thought they hadn't sinned (and I don't believe in one-sided sinning when it comes to dealing with people.)

But maybe in some cases, they were actually afraid to ask for forgiveness.

Which exposes my OWN one-sidedness -- I had never thought about THEM being scared to ask.

Thank you for your honest answers, @ATSTD.

I obviously need to be asking for some forgiveness myself.

And, my apologies to @In3dee -- I'm sorry for derailing your thread.

This just seemed like an important topic and I thank you for letting us talk it out. 💗

Maybe I'll build up the courage in the future but only God knows that.
