Who Do You Really Value?

HogWild · Postby **HogWild** » September 29th, 2008, 10:53 am

I've been thinking about what it means to value someone (I posted my thoughts in detail on my blog). I've come to the conclusion that I don't express my appreciation for others nearly enough. I really want to do better about telling others when I value them.

So I wanted to take a moment in this forum and thank a few people that I value very much.

First, I have to thank Wendy aka Ilovebigcats. For some reason she takes the time to read my blog and send me notes of encouragement. I am weeping right now as I think of the way that your kind words and notes have kept me going. You'll never fully understand what it meant when you told me recently that I was your brother. At a time when I've come to believe that I don't belong anywhere, you made me feel that feeling of belonging again. Thank you.

I also want to thank pastorables and poimen for your generosity. You kept me going when I was going under and had no one else to turn to for help. I am forever in your debt.

To Pastor Gary, Shellie, Scooter, JustSam, PastorAbles, Poimen - your encouragement, prayers, and support through the medium of the Board of Wisdom have proved to be invaluable. I will always remember to ask the Father to bless you for your tenderness to me.

As I post this, I begin to wonder if there are others on this board who would like to take a moment to express how much you value someone else here. I implore you, don't miss the chance to share your heart with others. They need to know it!

I value the NO FEAR approach of Gerald Creasy.

I try to live that way in real life with a twist of compassion. :lol:

Thank you brother (but it looks like you've thrown a clunker into the thread.

Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with my twisted compassion.

Gerald - I think I probably rarely agree with anything you post. LOL.

However, you are always entertaining and I most certainly value the fact that you don't back don't and don't seem to get your feelings too hurt.

I imagine that you would be a kewl guy to know personally.

And from what little bit I glean about your life it seems you have been incredibly wounded. I value that you didn't let it get the best of you. That's awesome man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... If I repent will you baptize me? Lol.

I wonder what tenderness that your hurts cause you to hide behind the mask of jesting, joking, and sarcasm. I bet that guy is pretty neat too. I bet I would value him too.
