My Reflections

Speak the Truth Humbly

Take UP Your Cross

Prompt:
Should we point out other people's sin to them? Why or why not?

Answer:
I have not been one to like pointing the finger at anyone. Well, at least I haven't since I was a child. 😊 However, the more I read the Bible, I am beginning to think we should let someone know when we believe them to be in error out of love for them but with a humble attitude. Our sin effects other people rather we realize it or not. Our thoughts and actions, good or bad has a ripple effect.

I can't think of the exact chapter right off the top of my head, but I have been reading in Leviticus lately. It speaks of someone witnessing a sin and not telling about it, then it became sin for them also. Ouch! We must be careful what we witness, what we say, and how we say it.

PROMPT May 6th

Write about a community service or volunteer experience you’ve had in your life that made an impact on you.

The volunteer experience that impacted my life the most was when I volunteered to clean a church weekly. I would get together with a couple other ladies and we would all do a thorough cleaning of the Church building. We would all work at it until it was all done. I found it to be enjoyable since all of us ladies had time to talk to each other while we were working. I always had a sense of accomplishment when it was done. We kept that building looking good. I will never forget the fellowship and comradery we had with each other. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

I hate to sound ignorant, but I may have to claim ignorance on this one. I am not familiar with this quote, nor do I understand what it means. I am willing to learn if someone is willing to enlighten me though. I even tried googling the quote with no results. 🤷‍♀️

As a woman from Oklahoma, I can feel this poem. I imagine some people felt like this on May 3rd, 1999. I love the poem and love the imagery.

The history of postage stamps is fascinating. Do you remember how much the first postage stamp cost you used to mail a letter? Did you write a letter or mail a card? Have you ever collected stamps?

Postage stamps were 25 cents when I began to use them. I mailed cards and letters both. I have never collected stamps but I knew someone who did once.
