 Quote From: stevenpera I pity your cynicism! It's sad that you don't see that the world is full of miracles! What's attributed to random acts of pure luck are the universe's way of blessing us with miracles! If you knew these two indviduals and the faith that they put out into the universe, you would understand the power of prayer. These two young people have had many pitfalls along the way, but their faith has never wavered. I personally don't have the resolve of Gwen and David, I know that I probably would have given up if put in their situation. A very wise person once told me to walk a mile in someones shoes before judging them or their motives, I suggest you do the same. And before you dimiss me as a crank, I want you to know that I know Gwen and David. I hope someday that a miracle touches your life.
I would like to respond to the person who wrote: Dr. Phil does his viewers a huge disservice by promoting the kooky and wrong-headed view that people's lives are improved or saved by "miracles." Tell me, what is YOUR reason for watching, if you disagree with his message? Nothing else on at that time or do you just like to see how many others will take on your negative persona? True, some people benefit from pure luck -- personally, I don't believe in "luck" - what happens is what is supposed to happen, for reasons we may or may not understand when random events happen to fall in their favor. I don't think this man's blood disorder is random. I do believe that there are not many of us who could go through what he's been through without an attitude like .. oh, YOURS for instance. But for Dr. Phil and his guests to suggest that supernatural powers are at play gives viewers false hopes. You must have seen an episode that I didn't .. when, during the show did you feel that Dr. Phil (or guests) moved towards "suggesting supernatural powers were at play" - LOL - MIRACLES happen - it has nothing to do with the supernatural. The cemeteries are full of people who left the living praying for some sort of a miracle. Darling, cemetaries are full of bodies - outer shells, nothing more. If you think what's on the outside is what makes you YOU .. you've got a lot to learn. It's better to trust in yourself, and to try your best to make the right decisions about your life, I believe the gentleman with hemophelia is doing just that .. it wasn't his decision to contract this illness, but he's certainly got a wonderful outlook on life. You can see the love in his eyes, the kindness and generosity in his heart - he's lived this long (against the odds) because he's a good man - who thinks of others more than himself - his reward is to live longer than he expected. than to waste time and energy hoping for a supernatural event that will never come. Time and energy others (appear to) waste is not your concern, nor does it affect your life in any way. Everyone has lessons to learn, in their own time, in their own way. Relax! Have a soothing cup of tea and don't bother yourself worrying about what other people are doing ...surround yourself with those who are positive ... you'll like how it makes you feel.
That said, I wish you only the best - and THANK YOU so very much for your opinion. Those we disagree with have the most to teach us. Let's hope you learn the lesson. :)
One more thing - when reading this response to yourself, imagine a low, soft voice. I assure you, I did not write this in anger or animosity. Merry Christmas .. Happy New Year!! |
