(9,156 posts)Still praying for you. There's nothing wrong with feeling sad, it has a physiological and spiritual purpose. Don't go down into the pit with it, though.
Funny how everyone's a sinner to the bircher 'christians', except for actual blatant open sinners who are on their side.

They look at the wonder of this earth and seem to see nothing. People move hectically but give little thought to where they are going
Each second we live in a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that never was before and will never be again. And what do we teach our children in school? We teach them that two and two makes four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all of the world there is no other child exactly like you. In the millions of years that have passed there has never been another child like you. And look at your body what a wonder it is! Your legs, your arms, your cunning fingers, the way you move! You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must cherish one another. You must work we all must work to make this world worthy of its children.

And here I be reading from 'children' and my brothers and sisters in humanity. Your responses bring me to wholeness.
