Sisters Today

Hey there sisters, did you know that "Forgiveness" is the antidote to anger and depression.  You know, we all have experienced wrongs done against us and/or our loved ones.  We naturally become angry at these wrongs.  But, at some point we need to decide whether to sink or swim.  Anger is an anchor that drags our lives down into deep depression, surliness, feelings of unworthiness, hatred, rudeness and a whole host of other undesirable traits.  But, when we "forgive others who trespass against us", we reach out to God who is our life raft.  He lifts us up and replaces our sadness, depression and pain, with happiness, joy and spirit.   Take it from me, I've lived through many a sad event ; abandoned by my dad before I was born;  the death of my mom when I was 17; the death of my 6 year son due to an illness; a victim of a violent crime; and the demise of my 20 year marriage.

 I know what it is like to be sad, depressed, lost and in pain.  But, more importantly, I know the joy of the Lord and the redeeming love that only Our Lord and Savior can  provide.  May God touch you today and help you heal from any pain or suffering that you are experiencing now or that you may still be struggling with from your past.  Have a Blessed Day my sisters.                                                                            Angie Barnes

Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space at the same time.   Invite one to stay.
