Since, all I knew was about hard times growing up I was always told (and I believed) that I wasn't favored with God. I was told that some people are here to do for others. A very interesting thought process.

Valerie, I think this has been one of my hardest obstacles. I think we have a lot in common here. I thought the rules were all that mattered and honestly, I was a total failure at keeping up with it all. It took into my adulthood to understand that I can obey God because I love Him, want to honor Him, and it is really a way to worship who He is. Thanks for joining us here, I always love your honest input.

That is such a tough one for me, Donna. Teaching our children the importance to obey not just because it is a rule, or their job but because it is really a way to show love and respect for another. I am with you, praise Him for continually teaching us and not just leaving us to the wayside while we learn. Thanks for joining us and sharing your heart with us. Thanks for joining us at Seeking God Daily. I look forward to you sharing this wonderful insight you always share here.

Thanks for joining us, Michele. I tried living a different way and it is really hard to keep up with. The hardest part is knowing how I have grieved my Father in Heaven. I praise His for His forgiveness in our foolishness.

Thank you for joining us, Debbie. I appreciate you sharing with us here.
