Hmm - How Far?

I'm vacationing with my sister in beautiful Santorini, Greece. Santorini (official name - Thira/Thera) is a Greek Island.




Today, I was wondering just how far Santorini is from the churches that Saul/Paul wrote to in the New Testament.  So, I decided to do a bit of research.  And, this is what I put together based on my research.

STOP Trying to Hand People Glasses They Don't Ask For!






TOO often, we get upset because other people just don't get it (whatever it might be).  And, we want to fuss and persuade them into getting it.  But, they still refuse.  In this episode, I talk about how sometimes you just have to shut up, shake the dust off and keep it moving! 

  1. A fact is a fact -whether someone else knows it or not.
  2. It is not VITAL that you force others to accept, to believe and to respond to the facts that you have accepted, believed and responded to.  The facts will still be facts!
  3. Just because they won't today does not mean that they won't tomorrow.




  • If they don't receive it, shake the dust off and keep it moving!
  • And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. (Matthew 10:14)

LESSON LEARNED!


Life is full of lessons to be learned each and every day.  Take heed (pay attention) and learn.  When we fail to glean the objective of the course from any given class, usually we have to repeat the course - until mastery.

The Snapshot is NOT the Portfolio

 

Oftentimes, we make assumptions while lacking the facts!  And, it is quite easy to make assumptions without knowledge.

(In all thy getting, get understanding!!!)

📖

Proverbs 4:7

🎬📽️🎞️

    Watching the preview to a movie does NOT make anyone an expert in retelling every scene.  There are events that led up to that scene, and there are events that happened after that scene. And, so it is in life - witnessing a person at their weakest point may not be the totality of who they are.

    Remember that it is difficult to tell a complete story📚 with only a few facts. 📝Oftentimes, in life, we want to take a glimpse of someone and formulate incorrect presumptions about that person’s character and lifestyle. What we fail to realize is that we observed them at a very low point - a time when there was no glamour and no glory.  We witnessed their blemishes and their flaws - no accessories 📿, no decor, no makeup💄 , no touch-ups.

    Not only do we formulate presumptions based on a glimpse, but we also formulate negative thoughts based on biased opinions shared by others🤫. What we must understand is that presumptions and opinions are NOT facts!  And even if we actually observed that person in a vulnerable state, that may or may not be their reality.  Many times, it is only a snapshot of who they are at that very moment.  There are behind the scene events that the public never sees.

    
The next time you’re tempted to judge a person by a snippet, remember that what you see is often the result of something that happened behind the scenes. If you only knew  ….
  • the behind-the-scenes struggle🤼‍♀️, 

  • the internal demons😈,

  • the silent battles⚔, and 

  • the midnight tears 😢,

- you just might withhold your judgment and even apologize for the assumptions and unsolicited comments that you freely shared with others about someone that you really didn’t/don’t know.


    Let us remember to pray ye one for another 🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏻.

BELIEVERS - Some of us will have to repent for presumptions that we have made about other people.

Lonely, But NOT Alone

 


    In life,... 

there are certain storms that you will go through - ALONE,   ☔⛈

there are certain roads you will have to travel - ALONE,  🛣️

there are certain seas you will navigate - ALONE.   🚢 

 

Without your mother,

Without your father,

Without your family,

Without your friends,

just you and the Most High GOD! 

    When you are in HIS will, understand that the storm has a purpose.  That less traveled road has a purpose.  That turbulent sea has a purpose.   When Jacob left Canaan (running from his brother Esau), Jacob was alone.  Undoubtedly, he longed to see his mother and his frail father.  

But, he was alone.  

On the run and all alone...

In a strange land and all alone...

    Somewhere in between his homeland that he had left and the place where he was going, he had an encounter with GOD (Genesis 28).  It was at this point that Jacob realized that GOD was with HIM - HalleluYAH!!!  

    If you are in the midst of an "alone" season, just KNOW that GOD is with you.  ✝️ 

Listen for HIS voice.  (But the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 1 Kings 19:11-13) 🙏🏾


And KNOW that HE will NEVER leave you nor forsaken you!!!

(And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. Deuteronomy 31:8)

( I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrew 13:5)
