In the Midst of ...

The 

Storms 

of

 Life 

I 

Believe

I 

Passed 

This Test

 I 

Gave and Gave 

All you did

Was 

Take and Take 

In the end

 My hands were empty

But 

So were yours 

Your hands were emptied

Of

 All

 I tried to give to you

 Because

You could not 

Receive in Love

Love In Christ

Note to Self: Written after a very frustrating .. time of trying to help someone in their Storm of Life ..offering shelter .. from the storm and all the provisions within .. Taking and taking .. and in the end .. loosing so much more.. because of selfish rants .. and true ugliness .. Why would you throw so much away .. and be rude to those who have given up so much to help you .. Doesn't make sense .. Gratitude and Gratefulness go such a long way  .. We all have a life we can not repay .. but true kindness goes a long way ..

 Life is hard enough .. When you are Blessed
Life teaches you to be grateful .. not throw rudeness into the wind .. Some people never learn the lessons that are presented to them .. :(  That is when you have to turn and walk the other way .. dust their dirt from your shoes .. and do not walk that way again .. You are forgiven .. I just will not invest .. my time and energy into you again .. Which is sad .. because you truly need what I have been holding for you .. You just are unable to receive it in Love .. So I can not turn it over to you .. Ever again .. Stacey Fryar .. You tried to tell me .. but I thought .. Love could win .. but selfishness won out again .. 

1 Corinthians 13

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Greatest Gift

13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. ² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,^[a] but have not love, it profits me nothing.

⁴ Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; ⁵ does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; ⁶ does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; ⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
⁸ Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part. ¹⁰ But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
¹¹ When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. ¹² For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
¹³ And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
