That, my friend, is . . . exceptional – especially for such a humble person. Heber13 wrote:Sambee, that’s been a running joke in our family for years. We claim we’re the most humble family in the ward. If anyone else claims they are more humble…that proves they’re not…so we still win
:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: I’ve always found this ideology of “you can only be blessed by doing what the church says God wants” to be really annoying. I think we can always be blessed by God, but when we are acting in a way that is detrimental to ourselves or others we have moved ourselves into a place which makes it difficult to be connected with God or whatever you want to call that higher power. I don’t think God ever leaves us, but we leave him. Even though we make the choice of leaving I still think God tries to help us any chance he gets. I believe that because of my experiences with an eating disorder. I walled myself in and kept anything that could help me away. I didn’t want to get better. Even through all my stubbornness I can see instances as I look back on my experience where some unforeseen hand kept me from destroying myself. I would have to say no on this one. I dont think that the God I believe in merits you for what good you have done. But rather, he gives blessings to everyone just in different forms and time. Though He sends tests to see how well you are able to keep up and if you are going to drift apart with your faith. That will then decide if you are to change or stay.
