| While writing, the description for “Celebrating Singleness”, I got so into trying to get the message across as to why we ought to be celebrating our singleness that this came about. I did not want to delete or many of you that were intended to read these words would not have read them. So here is why we ought to celebrate our singleness continued from the description that is posted. | |

| Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." -John 4:10 In the story of Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at the well (in the 4th chapter of John), we see two problems that had to do with relationships. | |

| If you find pleasure in another’s downfall, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the shackles are still on. You are bound and sitting in the enemies camp. Insensitive conversation that comes under the umbrella of verbal abuse or what I would like to term ‘verbal slaughter’ has far outstayed its welcome in our fellowship. | |

| Though 16 years old, Holly Pearson suffered headaches two sometimes three times a week. At times the headaches were so severe that Holly could not go participate in many of the extracurricular activities she loved. Medications helped some, but the pain persisted and even seemed to grow worse over time. Very concerned about her daughter’s health and well-being, Holly’s mother took her to one of the best internal specialist in the country for an examination and, hopefully, a cure. After many tests and visits, the doctor asked Holly a very personal question. | |

 | The family climate I grew up in was one of control, demands and manipulation. I was loved if I did the right thing. Condemned, accused of selfishness and screamed at if I did the wrong thing. I had no social skills, and was a very quiet, wounded child. Thankfully, in my early teens I came to know the love of God. I became involved in a wonderful church youth group, and God started to heal and change me. It took many years before I was able to form healthy relationships, and I still have to work hard at it. I have so many false impressions of what love is in my head, its hard to know what is genuine, and how to act the right way. |

 | "Be on your guard. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and comes back to you seven times, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him." - Luke 17:3-4 HCSB If there was ever a man who should rightfully have been bitter, it was Joseph. He had been scorned by his brothers, manhandled, thrown into a pit, sold into slavery, lied about, falsely imprisoned and forgotten. Yet, Joseph found it within himself to forgive his brothers and treat them kindly. |
