A special re...Thanks everyone for your kind words.<br /><br />A special reply to Ronni.<br /><br />When I mentioned that we don't have to be defined by our experiences, a choice remains in our hands. What better choice than "survivor" when referring to such things as you list!<br /><br />Would you consider expanding the label, possibly to "thriver"? Since this seems to have already become a buzzword and may ring of cliche', may I suggest another for your consideration?<br /><br />While you've survived a list of things that could bring down seemingly powerful people, would you be willing to consider "enlivener" as a next label of choice? That is, would you be willing to share with those not as far along in their paths?Charles Moncriefhttp://www.emchome.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6032288097291902285.post-7930483638750174812009-11-26T13:57:32.657-05:002009-11-26T13:57:32.657-05:00I'm a survivor...of abuse, of rape, of suicide...I'm a survivor...of abuse, of rape, of suicide, of motherhood...and quite happy with that label.Ronnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062796442588373271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6032288097291902285.post-6409532447938965012009-11-25T12:49:27.743-05:002009-11-25T12:49:27.743-05:00Best wishes on this end of the wishbone - long or ...Best wishes on this end of the wishbone - long or short - for a happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.<br /><br />God is GREAT.Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15586472025474550806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6032288097291902285.post-55677428701740781452009-11-25T10:53:43.113-05:002009-11-25T10:53:43.113-05:00Charles,
I really enjoyed your post.
You reminde...Charles,<br /><br />I really enjoyed your post.<br /><br />You reminded me of my daughter's words, "God rescued me through being raped."<br /><br />I was amazed by her faith. As I am by so many victim's of crime. God's word is seen with different eyes - it's richer.<br /><br />Best,<br />CherryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6032288097291902285.post-58778097096214695212009-11-25T08:20:34.782-05:002009-11-25T08:20:34.782-05:00Thank you Charles for the good words on the day
be...Thank you Charles for the good words on the day<br />before the official American Thanksgiving Day and for your friendship and ministry. Many years ago I set up a little daily inventory which I believe I needed very badly. It was to ask myself "What are you thankful for right now? Name several things in your life for which you are thankful." About forty years ago I was overwhelmed that it should be mainly not be things,but people.You and Ruth are in that little spiritual excercise daily.william millsapshttp://emchome.orgnoreply@blogger.com
