This is something that I need to get off of my chest:  Marie and Patty(mazceline,celinedionsfan) have PM'ed me and given my some GREAT advice.  They have told me that I am a nice guy from what they have read, and that I write from the heart and that I should not compare myself to other's situation and just say what's on my mind.  

Those girls are two of the best friends that I have made on this forum and the advice they have given me was an eye-opener.  Why?  Because they are always willing to give people advice who are willing to listen, like me.  Thanks Marie and Patty for giving me this advice.  I will take it to heart.

[celinedionsfan]

Glad I could help, Dana!  

[VanMerlin]

Yeah, they're great aren't they. But you're great for being so open-minded, Dana.

[1Celine12]

I am open-minded.  Those girls are the best in the world for helping people that have the courage to listen to what they have to say or the kind words that are said by these two kind individuals.

[HelenCeline27]

yes its so nice to have good friends         

[felixwhoals]

Wow it's great to hear that. I'm quite proud that you have finally found a great pal to communicate with!

[1Celine12]

felixwhoals, thanks for saying that.  Maybe someday you can have friends to communicate with.  I know it took me a long time to make friends here, but I don't regret that.  You just have to give it time.

[Célinefull]

What you have to remember too, is that your friends can't always tell you what you want to hear, sometimes loving you means they have to tell you when you've upset them, or when they don't like something you have done..

[1Celine12]

If you are trying to tell me something, then please PM me so we can talk about it.  I don't want this open to the public.

[debbie]

bestfriend are hard to find, but friends the're so many around the bench
dont lost hope.

[Célinefull]

I'm not trying to tell you anything. However, I did tell you something above.

[HelenCeline27]

VERY WELL SAID

What you did tell me, Damien is that I shouldn't try and forgive someone after they have said not to and that they don't want to have contact with me anymore.  That's what you are trying to tell me.  I will not forgive more than once, because I learned that if someone wants to forgive you back, you have to wait it out.

[HelenCeline27]

i think when feelings are hurted its really hard to forgive
but maybe in time someone could for give them

Ah, Dana, perhaps you really are not familar with the Christ you are to be following as a Christian ... when He was asked about forgiving and forgiveness ... His response was that we must forgive over and over again ... not just one time and that's it!

[HelenCeline27]

i thank god for forgiving me for my sins

Do you give others the same forgiveness you ask from God?

[HelenCeline27]

i am sorry to say no and i pray i can forgive in time
i just need sometime
i pray god will help me me forgive someone better

[celinedionsfan]

Helen ... I really admire your honesty ... your courage to admit that you can not, at times, easily forgive ... and I do understand how very hard it is sometimes to forgive ... to overlook the hurt ... I, too, struggle with forgiving ... with letting go of grudges ... with wanting to repay a hurt with a hurt ... an unkind word with an unkind word ... and we both know that neither one of us has been nailed to a cross ... put to death in such a brutal and horrific way ... and yet He whom all Christians follow not only endured that ... but forgave those who persecuted Him ...

I don't want you to think that I am picking on you or trying to upset you ... it's just that when people choose to make their beliefs public ... then they also choose to have people question both their beliefs and their actions ... you speak often about God ... and about how much you believe in God ... and I respect your beliefs ... it's just that there's more to faith and belief than just talking about it ...

[1Celine12]

Yes, Patty therr is more to it than just saying you believe and talking about it.  You need to prove that you believe what you believe and show it through your actions.

And do you?

[1Celine12]

I am really trying to show that I am a believer in GOD through my day to day actions.  It's hard to do, but I am getting better as the days wear on.  Do you show your beliefs through actions, Patty?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

In case you haven't noticed, I do not discuss my faith or my beliefs in a public forum as you do, Dana ... as for your question ... if you have read my posts ... you will have seen that when I speak about flaws, weaknesses, mistakes ... I include myself ...

[mazceline]

my honest oppinion to too above people who really believe in god will be tested in the future , and maybe there beliefs will disapear, i believe in god fullstop and all he stands to , but think its better to keep my whole beliefs to my self, because it ends up , if you talk of it all the time, that you are preaching, and people dont need that

Helen, so that we don't make everyone mad, could we please not talk about the friendship thing anymore.  It seems to me that they hate us for expressing our LOVE for each other.  Again, please stop talking about our friendship blooming again.

It seems to me that sometimes you do not understand what you read ... nothing in any post has even suggested what you have stated in your second sentence ...
