There is a lot that can be understood in those few words!
I had another thought while I ws pondering....
Those who get too high up will have further to bend to reach the bootom shelf right?

I am not one for watching what others get up to.
I would be helping others to understand what a 'shelf' is

We should be there much more often than we are. I hope things are okay for you, Amber. Did you ever get the book we sent you.

Yes, I did. I must be having trouble communicating through mylot and Gather, because I mentioned getting the book a couple of days ago. I KNOW I'm having trouble with the Mylot Pms, but I thought you might see me mention it on Gather.
My dad came across it today in my car (I was giving him a ride), and he asked me about it. He was really interested and glad that someone had been kind enough to try to help me with this.

We have to go on with our knees, that is true my B. Hardwork would give us a good harvest. I know that God is always there to provide us with our needs, yet He cant simply do that. We are given feet two step and pace, arms to lift and carry things, eyes to see, and most specially mind to think. We just need to think and deside what we really wanted to do in our life. If we are determined enough to accomplish our goal, i am sure that God is just right behind to guide us find the right way for it.

you have your point my B, somehow we tend to forget that we need to work out for our needs and wants, it is not magic at all. we should work hard. God is watching us, but we are still the one making how our life looks today. we have the guide, but its up to us if we are going to follow it, they say its hard to follow the right way, it needs a lot of effort and sacrifices but once we succeed doing it, the reward worth more than those struggles.

Hello Prime.
He is always there, but we tend to get lazy and expect Him to do everything for us.
We need to understand that we cannot just snap our fingers and get what we want.
Maybe we will get that point one day.
He is behind us to guide us, but we always get lost for some reason.
TATA.

Saphy, I LIKE it. It is an inspiring thought for the day. I have received things when I was in need, even when I did not even reach for it. It is an interesting discussion, but some people will not be inspired by the simple magnificence in it.

Hi Saphrina,
That is really wonderful thought and very true.
If I get it right - "You just have to go on your knees" - is for being humble and that is the place where it all starts - you start to realize many great things

Yes. You made me smile and think of the things that I should be doing now. I forgot to read the bible yesterday. This is one of my New Years Resolution. Reading the bible and sticking with the Bible Reading Plan for the whole year.

Hi dear,
All depend on everyones choice. Can we expect something from air if we stretch our hands? Also, whatever we get that time should be accepted. When we stnad on knees by closing the eyes and hands, there are a group of people who stand alone doing nothing. They are the masters here and they have the power. We will continue here just stand on the knees in such a positon and how long, which we don't know.
Thank-s

Oh Mel, you are the best. Send me some magic and everything will be okay or better... send me that magic wand, so I can help the others, too. Providing I am not loosing myself over the toy.
Thank you Saphrina. Wish you the best for 2011, too. I hope this is the year where I can get what I've been dreaming about these part years.

Thanks for being so positive.
It is a nice change of pace from the usual hate and bla bla bla that you can run into on here.

I have been to a lot of trials in life. But one thing I am sure, God is always there to guide me. Especially in financial aspects, there were times that I am really broke, but something will came to rescue me from the situation. I believe that we just need to work on it first then God will do the rest ;)

You can either go on your knees ... or take a child with you when you go to His store.

Yes, prayer is great, but I don't think we necessarily have to go on our knees to thank God for the things we have. Interesting topic, and I am curious to what others have to say.

I found your discussion quite good, not much to say but what was said did say an awful lot, it is never the amount of words, but the words you choose to put down. The words you used stand for so much and really do stand out well and gets to the point. I liked it.
