Encourage One Another

@Dino and @cinder -- Thanks for some of the punniest puns the forum has to offer!

@love_comes_softly -- Thank you so much, and you are one of the most understanding, encouraging people I know. The CC community and your students are very blessed to have you!

For the people we always see greeting newcomers and posting encouragement: @Deade, @Magenta, @danja, @oyster67, @blue_ladybug, @TabinRivCA (I'm sorry for anyone I've missed) -- but I know I see these members regularly greeting new members and it is much appreciated.

@JesusLives, @tourist, @melita916, @PennEd, @mailmandan, and all our regular married friends who take the time to visit us in singles, thank you for talking with us but for not talking down to us. Thank you for letting us know what married life is really like, lest we singles let our heads get too lost in the clouds.

@calibob and all those who work so hard to help others struggling with life-long battles and for giving them a safe place for support.

@BenFTW -- Thank you for all of your insightful questions, and for replying in such a calm manner even when we don't see eye-to-eye.

@Lynx -- Thank you for not insulting or telling me I'm too stupid to understand something even when could easily do that just because you've explained it 20 times and I still ask you to explain it JUST ONE more time, in a slightly different way. And thanks for allowing me to disagree with you now and then (or every other day, whichever comes first.)

@Butterflyy, @MegMarch, @Kojikun, @Going_Nowhere -- Thank you for sharing your insights and perspectives! I always find your points of view to be slightly different than most I've heard and that's something I really enjoy about your posts, because it teaches me to look at things in a different way.

@Subhumanoidal -- Thank you for being willing to share some of your personal battles. You've shared lots of practical knowledge about how to deal with depression and anxiety, and it's been very helpful.

@tinkerbell, @Mel85, @Susanna, @Poinsetta -- I always appreciate your sense of humor and keen insights. Susanna, I wish you wouldn't call yourself an old lady. It ain't over for us yet!

@BrotherMike, @17Bees, @zeroturbulence, @JustEli -- I always appreciate your sense of humor and the stories you bring to the threads. Your posts are always interesting reads.

@Lanolin and @morefaithrequired -- Keep talking to us! The more you share, the more interested I am in your stories.

@TamLynn, @Pipp, @LittleMermaid -- I get the feeling a person could tell you the very worst about their life, and you would just hug them and say, "I'm with you! Let's pray through this together!" Thank you for being that person, because that's very rare to find.

@Dino and @cinder -- Thanks for some of the punniest puns the forum has to offer!

@OneOfHis -- Thanks for not deleting ALL of what you have to say -- and letting us get to know you!


OK, I know I'm overlooking some people here and I'm SORRY for that... but I was trying to include everyone I've seen in the threads lately.

The bottom line is, every time a post is made in the mind frame of sharing/helping others, it always blesses SOMEONE here, even if it's someone who never says (types) a word, so everyone is needed here, and everyone's posts reach out to someone, so keep on posting!

Of course, you left out Seoulsearch herself! The Grand Poobah of opening threat... I mean threads. If you ever go missing again I'm writing a strongly worded letter to the central intelligence agency and department of defense demanding your return. They always try to hide angels like yourself from the general public. Makes them look bad.

Thank you for mentioning me ❤️🙂

@BrotherMike - You always share personal experience along with your opinions or thoughts and that is such a witness to others. I think it helps people more than you realize.

I was really blessed in reading Seoul’s thread about introverts and seeing how peacefully disagreements were handled. It made me think that with the hundreds of people on here, it truly is amazing that we are able to share and learn from one another as well as disagree with each other from time to time. I loved seeing it done with love.

I felt the Lord place it on my heart to share this blessing and to encourage everyone to keep it up.

I was thinking this would be a great time to encourage one another as a group or as individuals for different things we have seen or appreciate over the years through these threads or even in more recent interactions.

At school, we often give out “brag tags”, which are basically a way to recognize kids and encourage them to keep up their hardwork in different areas. I suppose this would be the online version.

Hopefully these shoutout won’t embarrass anyone, but rather encourage you all in your walk with the Lord.

@seoulsearch - Your posts alway push me and others to think beyond the surface. You have always gracefully brought up hot topics and issues that are important to discuss in a way that allows everyone to participate in the conversation. You truly are gifted in brining people together. Thank you for that.

@Susanna - Your posts are filled with such humor and real life. I imagine you spread joy in your everyday walk.

@BrotherMike - You always share personal experience along with your opinions or thoughts and that is such a witness to others. I think it helps people more than you realize.

We are not alone in our walk with God yet we stand before Him as individuals.

He collectively see us ( those who are redeemed) as His bride.

His kingdom is not a place of jealousy,strife,vanity,anger, nor lack of love.

We act so like roaches in a glass at times trying to climb over one another.

We are to love the brethren ,bear one another's burdens, lift up even pull from the fire those that are His.

Without rain a garden dries up and dies.
Without encouragement a person falters and falls.

Let us rejoice in the unity of His Spirit,let us love to the sacrifice of ourselves to one another for greater love has no man than this!

May we encourage and be encouraged in Him! Amen!
