I just ...Like I said, I get the point of the story. I just had a bit of head scratching because, well, Grandma isn't God! And it is a parable that happens to showcase terrible manners. But, yes, it is a cute parable if you overlook the fact that it seems if I keep "thanking" God for sending me a husband, when I am unmarried, I am really being very passive aggressive, even though I know God has promised me a companion. And I'm sorry if any of this is reading negatively, I didn't anticipate that my small criticism would send up red flags for you! Although I can see now it was originally worded very strongly, and I apologize for that. Tone can't be read so well on the internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495306595120854029.post-2984932366997346562011-10-25T09:37:27.217-05:002011-10-25T09:37:27.217-05:00Okay.

As to your co...Okay. Thank you for letting me know<br /><br />As to your comment, the whole point is FAITH. His grandma said....she he took it as done. We should do the same with the promises of God. If He says He will do something, it's as good as done. He WILL do it, and we should have faith and believe that He will.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01937617050831611588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495306595120854029.post-63738329460447925242011-10-25T09:18:51.248-05:002011-10-25T09:18:51.248-05:00This is the only comment I have posted on your blo...This is the only comment I have posted on your blog.

I get where you are trying to go... but this is a terrible parable. Faith could be believing in Grandma's love despite the gift attached--we don't get to just keep "thanking" God until God sends up $3.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495306595120854029.post-32584797398591175732011-10-11T10:06:53.982-05:002011-10-11T10:06:53.982-05:00What a sweet story. :) And at the same time - so...What a sweet story. :) And at the same time - so true!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113910192375054172noreply@blogger.com
