Why... You said your would respect my wishes...

I am so dis-heartened by some. I just don't understand why people do and say what they do. I am the first to admit that I am not perfect. I fall flat on my face MANY times (sometimes in a day) and the Lord picks me up once I am repentive... HE IS AN AMAZING GOD!
But when people give you their word. They say that they understand and respect your wishes. You want their virtue's to be honest and upright. That they will do as they say and their word is their word. Both Russ and I have tried to teach by example this to our girls. Again, they nor we are perfect. But I will do my best as a parent to help keep them accountable - confront issues - isn't that what a parent is suppose to do?

But I don't understand deliberate deception. When you KNOW that what you are choosing to do will harm and hurt an others feelings ~ that it is complete disrespect ~ and you still do it ~ to fulfill your own earthly desire... Where is your character in that? Why?

When this happens, you have the right and justification to feel violated. There has been no respect shown. To be hurt, and to cry. But don't forget.... The most important thing... God's character in YOU is what matters. HE WILL reveal to those around in HIS ways, the truth and character of each of us. HE is a REDEEMING and LOVING Father.

So, as I live my life... I give HIM my questions that I have of others and will TRY the best I can not to judge... AS HE will do that. I only can pray for my girls to be honest and completely true to their words... They are learning... falling flat on their faces too, sometimes. THANK GOD for HIS AMAZING GRACE!

The Lyrics are below. There is no cursing. This is about how we don't laugh about God when we're in danger but if we're at a party then we laugh at God and it's not right.





No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war

No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one's laughing at God when it's gotten real late and their kid's not back from that party yet
No one laughs at God when their airplane starts to uncontrollably shake
No one's laughing at God when they see the one they love hand in hand with someone else and they hope that they're mistaken
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door and they say "We've got some bad new, sir,"
No one's laughing at God when there's a famine, fire or flood

But God can be funny
At a cocktail party while listening to a good God-themed joke or
Or when the crazies say he hates us and they get so red in the head you think that They're about to choke

God can be funny
When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie
Who does magic like Houdini

Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious

Ha ha
Ha ha

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one's laughing at God when they've lost all they got and they don't know what for No one laughs at God on the day they realize that the last sight they'll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one's laughing at God when they're saying their goodbyes

But God can be funny
At a cocktail party while listening to a good God-themed joke or
Or when the crazies say he hates us and they get so red in the head you think that they're about to choke

God can be funny
When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way

And when presented like a genie
Who does magic like Houdini

Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war

No one's laughing at God in a hospital
No one's laughing at God in a war
No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor

No one's laughing at God
No one's laughing at God
No one's laughing at God

We're all laughing with God
