As I read Charles Stanley today I was reminded of those persons whom come to us with unsolicited criticism. We don’t seek their advice, but they feel it is their duty to tell us how wrong we are. I found Charles’ words timely for me as I read, “Thank the person for his interest in you and explain that you’ll reflect on his observation. If he was sincere, he’ll be appreciative, but if his intentions were negative, this may disarm him.” How very true as I recall I Thess. 5:18, “in every thing give thanks.”

July 4th Thank You!
Today is an opportunity to give thanks for not only being Americans, but also for the freedom and liberty which our citizenship gives each of us. Whether celebrated with family and friends or in quiet solitude, we have been given this gift with the service and protection of many men and women whom have served and currently serve in our military. A huge “thanks” to each of these special people, but recognition to the military men of my family: my nephew Kirk Hamer whom is currently serving, my father and an uncle whom served in WWII, an uncle whom served in the Korean War, my beloved (ex) husband of 44 years, Charles Woods and brother Clyde Hamer whom served during the VietNam era.
