Yes, Christian...Hi din..thanks for coming by again. Yes, Christians are positive..because they have a reason to be. As you read more you will understand why. Please keep coming back to visit. The reason is exactly this.."understanding". Remember what I said about getting to know someone and understanding them. You have to read God's Word..the KJV Bible to understand God's ways. The Bible says..he giveth understanding to the simple. Not dumb..but simple in the respect that his ways are higher than ours and in his love he left us his book so that we could find understanding and know him in a very personal way. The book of Proverbs is all about wisdom, learning and understanding. It takes a sincere heart and one willing to let GOD show them without reservation. <BR/><BR/>You said..the bad that can't be explained. Bad can be explained din..some as I said has a purpose (and therefore not really "bad" as we would see it).. some is self inflicted..some from sin that abounds in the world. A lot of bad is not of God..but of this world. God does not ordain drunkeness and yet we have it..and we suffer from the consequences of it. My father was a drunkard and I grew up without a father because of this and divorce. Not pleasant. Yet, in all this...I myself found HOPE and I found JOY and I found the promises of God. God says..when you seek him with ALL your heart, you find him. God knows the heart of man.<BR/>I hope this helped in some way.HOPEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593612195595034233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2265032422125927545.post-68791813949456435052007-11-09T13:17:00.000-08:002007-11-09T13:17:00.000-08:00Thank you for your answer Hope.

That's a good thing. <BR/><BR/>But you know… there are things that are bad and no one can explain; I had a talk with Pam about it and with some other nice ladies as well. <BR/><BR/>As I see it, people don’t blame God for the bad stuff and are thankful for all the good. And it's okay, I just don’t understand that.<BR/><BR/>Your blog is very nice btw, and I will come back ;)<BR/><BR/>DinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2265032422125927545.post-34728859822960312412007-11-09T05:24:00.000-08:002007-11-09T05:24:00.000-08:00Hi Din..thank you for stopping by and for your tho...Hi Din..thank you for stopping by and for your thoughtful comment.<BR/><BR/>What I meant by blaming God; is that a lot of people blame him for the bad..yet do not praise him for the good. In other words,as long as things are going fine, or my way...I don't acknowledge God. However, when things go bad..that is the very one I blame.<BR/>In my life...as you will read (I hope you will come back) is that I can except the "bad" and the "good" that comes into my life, because I find the purpose that is in it. Some bad in the Christians life (this term bad could be defined many ways) is also concidered chastisement/or trying to get someone's eyes open to the way they are living. As a parent with a child when they do wrong. They are corrected so that they can see the error of their way. Some just take a word some priviledges taken away. etc.<BR/>In my account about my son; some people would say..."How could God do this to you?"...and this is what I want to explain. His purpose and the grace he gives as I go through this trial. As a Christian...we are like children...God is our Father...and we are in a sense "growing up" in him. Each day is a journey of walking with him and understanding him and knowing that he is real and in our lives. <BR/>I hope this clarifies what you asked. Perhaps in the course of my writing it will be better understood.HOPEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593612195595034233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2265032422125927545.post-18541230813417430902007-11-09T02:08:00.000-08:002007-11-09T02:08:00.000-08:00I'm sorry about what happened to your son.But abou...I'm sorry about what happened to your son.<BR/><BR/>But about your post, you said that you can't blame God for all the bad things that happen in this world, so how come you you're supposed to praise him for all the good stuff?<BR/><BR/>I don't understand that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2265032422125927545.post-68929291432960933642007-11-07T08:30:00.000-08:002007-11-07T08:30:00.000-08:00Hope, Thank you so much for vising my blog.
