Love Suffers Long

 




Love suffers long and is kind, love does not envy, does not parade itself, is not puffed up.

1 Corinthians 13:4 (NKJV)

Words of Paul


Suffers long-is patient; the King James Version uses the Old English phrase-long suffering. To me, that paints a picture of the meaning of the word patient.


Kind- tender in dealing with others.


Does not envy-Does not wish for or want what what another person has.


Does not parade itself- does not say, “Look at me!”


Is not puffed up- is genuine.

New Blog, Long Story

 I have not had access to a computer for a few weeks. It all started with my trying to download an app to my mobile phone. My phone locked me out and I had strange messages on my computer. Then it decided it didn't like me. This went on for about two and a half weeks.   Solutions were to seek guidance in getting my old computer fixed . That didn't work; hence, a new computer and try to seek help in getting my mobile phone fixed. I ran into  the proverbial brick walls at every turn. I am slowly getting back to where I can use my computer. I will be back here with a new name for my blog.  I am still following my King.

God is Good to His Children

 I am still having electronic issues. Now my printer does not work. I am on a wireless connection between the printer and  my new laptop. Our son, who does some IT work, got frustrated with me when I started to tell him about this chapter of my "adventure". What he told me to do, I could not seem to get started on. Last Wednesday, I contacted the printer's manufacturer and truly got nowhere with the man. He made the suggestion that he turn this case over to someone in a higher level. We set a time, of my choosing, for the call. I did not receive a call on Thursday or Friday.  My remedy may be to  go to another manufacturer and do some serious looking and asking questions. I know no other way out off this deep hole that I am in. God is still with me and guiding me through all this.
