Sacrifice??!!

Can you hear me whine from where you are??
Because I bore I my soul to the 'blog world'- I feel justified to whine and complain
to the world as well.
Im Missing, Missing Pepsi today!
I am making a sacrifice here!!!
I taught my Sunday school lesson last week about giving up the natural man.
Im the "woman' that has succumbed to my passions and appetites.
Im feeling the repercussions of living as a 'natural man."
Its not pretty!
Then...after feeling sorry for myself and even feeling a little self-righteous,(dumb, dumb, dumb me) I stumbled upon this article about what it really means to sacrifice!! I feel compelled to share it. ClickHERE

I'll TRY to stay quiet now! (no promises)

Cindy,
Thanks for the link to the article on sacrifice. I have often wondered if my losing my sweetheart – the greatest sacrifice I could EVER think of – was truly a sacrifice because it certainly wasn’t with my consent. Had I been asked I would have said NO. Does my unwillingness to let him go counter the fact that now I have to go on without him? I appreciated her views on that point. “When we place on God’s altar the things we cherish the most, then we most fully manifest our faith. When we acquiesce to God’s will and give our consent to the losses that make the least sense, then we are sincerely sacrificial.” I am to the point that I have accepted His will. I still don’t understand it, but I have chosen to go on and to live a life that would make my sweetheart proud and make our reunion spectacular!
