Your life story is most interesting. I am decades older than you and I see a level of maturity that is unusual for someone your age. As a teacher, one thing I know for sure is the importance of parental guidance for a child’s development. Clearly, your father and mother have prepared you well for a life of spiritual development.

I...Thank you for sharing all this with us, Bethany! I always enjoy learning about you.<br /><br />I grew up in a working class poor family and just about every adult I knew held a job that many people would be ashamed to admit to. They didn’t feel that way and they were all very hardworking, proud people. My parents taught me that “there is no shame in honest work” and I have passed this philosophy to my own children. Tough jobs teach, amongst many other things, a good work ethic and a strong character.<br /><br />I’m glad that your faith provides you with so much comfort and direction. We all need something in this life to lift our spirit. I also grew up in a devoutly Christian home, and although I didn’t follow the same path as you, I did inherit some wonderful things from my upbringing, mostly because of my parents. And I don’t filter relationships in my life based on what someone believes in or doesn’t believe in. It don’t matter to me whether an individual is religious, an atheist or somewhere in-between. What does matter is how they treat others. If they’re kind and honest and compassionate, they are welcome in my circle!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262406079948479112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376485905771945684.post-85331890439556163022016-09-23T19:27:23.191-05:002016-09-23T19:27:23.191-05:00I know I tell you this often but I gotta say it ag...I know I tell you this often but I gotta say it again.

Over the years I have found that I shy away from labels, especially when trying to describe my relationship with God. I am growing in knowing Him as One who is Father, Son Jesus, and Holy Spirit. I often feel I do a better job talking to Him than listening to Him. I am grateful for, and challenged by the Bible as I read it on a regular basis, and Holy Spirit leads me toward understanding and truth and comfort...and I especially need to grow in boldness in sharing the Good News. You are an encouragement to me and I enjoy our blogging friendship. May the Lord continue to bless you and yours. xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376485905771945684.post-12516309654486333232016-09-23T13:19:40.351-05:002016-09-23T13:19:40.351-05:00I love your response where you say that everyone i...I love your response where you say that everyone is interesting, Bethany!
