I've often heard folks say that Facebook is filled with a lot of garbage and negativity which has driven them away. I've always said that Facebook is as good as the people in your news feed...also known as your FRIENDS.
If your news feed is filled with garbage and negativity, it may be time to delete some friends. I'm jus' sayin'.
Thankfully, MY news feed is often filled with humor, encouragement, and positivity.
One thing that I particularly enjoy are the strong Men of Faith who I have as friends. There aren't many, but for the few that there are, I am thankful.
These men, who I have named the "Magnificent Seven" (y'all know how I am about sevens), boldly proclaim their faith in Christ and strive to encourage others. Although I would LOVE to mention them by name, I'm not sure how they'd feel about that, so I will simply list them by initials. Hopefully, if they EVER read my blog, they will recognize themselves in this post.
Anywhoo...here they are:
JS
EB
KH
TD
MP
EB
VC
Yes, two of them have the same initials, so no...that wasn't a mistake.
As thankful as I am to have to receive encouragement from my sisters in Christ, it's an extra blessing to know that I have these strong men as well who I can look to for spiritual encouragement. I wish I could link them all together because they would be one POWERFUL force if they all knew each other.
JS knows TD, VC and KH.
TD knows JS and VC, however KH does not know TD nor VC.
The two EBs know each other. And MP doesn't know any of the others.
Sounds like a math word problem, doesn't it?
Like I said, in my perfect world they'd ALL know each other because "iron sharpens iron."
That's it for now.
Let the DIALOGUE begin: For the Christian women who are reading this -- how important is it for YOU to have strong men of faith as part of your spiritual circles. Do you need them at all, or are your sisters in Christ enough?
Talk to me!
Til next time...
