Folklore has it that not long ago,

all the towns people in a little farming community decided to pray for rain.

On the day of prayer all the people gathered,

but only one boy came with an umbrella.

That's FAITH.

Were you that boy?

I wish I could say I was that boy but to be honest, I can't. I lost faith in people years ago. I've lost faith in most things.

I'm sure you will get many positive responses to this post plum. I just have to be honest.

Expect little from people. You are seldom disappointed.

I appreciate your honesty Gh, and to quote you, you say: " most things ".

That is better than all things.

Gmon Plum n G. As for me I hope for the best prepare for the worse. Not a doomsday prepare just realistic. Life gives us many highs n lows. If we can't handle the lows we may never get to enjoy the HIGHS. Just my view. 😊😊

There is no way I should be able to be living the way I am on the postage stamp I get for income. But I am. Everything I have had is gone, property wise, but I have a roof and a bed and beans in the crock pot. I have a few friends to talk with and I'm ok. God's hand? I think so. When I have a need it is taken care of so faith? For me it's hard to say because I ask for much for myself and for others but the hard part is believing that what I ask will be taken care of. I'd rather stand in the rain uncovered!

G I know one thing you believe in. Helping others even after all you've been through. You have a good heart brother. Have a good day 👍👍

Good mornin', plum. I'm definitely a believer. Without Faith you have little. (MHO).

Thanks, plum, have a good day.

Glad I'm not alone on that Fly. I don't want to dig a hole I can't get out of. I believe in taking care of business before I take care of pleasure. So far that has kept the hole shallow enough to get out of. Enjoy your trip brother 👍👍

Good luck with that one G. It's things like this that will break us if we keep our heads in the clouds. Life will kick us every chance it gets. It will give us what we need if we're strong enough to take it. Stay strong 👍👍

Faith has kept my head above water many times. Like Griz says, Hope for the best but be prepared for what you get. If you don't try how can you succeed? It's Sunday.."Ask and ye shall receive, Seek and ye shall find"
