My thoughts lately...(stepping up on the soapbox)

This has been weighing heavily on my heart lately and I haven't had the courage to post it lately but have prayed about it and I feel it needs to be said....I follow alot of different blogs and have found lately that even with having my own that I don't feel comfortable posting on different topics...Now why is that?? why is it that we have the freedom of speech and yet we get attacked for saying what we feel....Some people start blogs for different reasons...some for prayer for different health concerns, some for making connections, some to keep in contact with long distance friends or family, some just to put information out there that they feel would be helpful to others..none of this I feel is grounds for people to come back with cruel comments...they sometimes do not even know these people personally....I think people should really think about what they are going to say before they say it because it could really end up hurting someone really bad...no matter what age we are words can be very damaging to a person...we try and try to not let things like that bother us but deep down we sit and analyze what someone has said to us and say "well am I that person or am I that way?" God made us all different for a reason...I was in my lifegroup the other night and we were all discussing our gifts....we are a couples group and going around the room it was neat to see that no two of us had the same gifts which means god made no two of us exactly the same...each of us is special in our own way and he did that so that we can each add our own special gift to the world and with one another....I will now step off my soapbox and I will be continue to pray for all of these people who continue to belittle others whom they do not even know...they have challanges in their life that they have chosen to take a HUGE leap to share with us mostly for us to Pray for them so please let us do that....May god bless each and every one of you and I pray that I haven't offended any of you that I just put a thought in your head to change your way of thinking before typing or speaking...god loves us all and he wants us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves....T
