We're not perfect, we all get our feelings hurt; we don't always have the time to write each post just right, but I think if someone looks hard enough at the post they can see the "intent." I think if we want to become encouraging instead of just preachy, we have to be so careful how we phase things, yet some will still think nagging them and calling them names. I think what some of us see as nasty is really "frustration". |
My pastor said once that is easier to pull someone off a chair, than it is for someone on that chair to pull someone up......
If one is looking for the negative.....they'll find it easier than weeding through and finding the positive.
