Imagine? It makes me think of the concept of "gaslighting" -- making you think you must be crazy to even consider such a thing. SO different from God, who knows what we need before we even ask. (BTW I think that may be the first time I've ever used the term "sheer effrontery," so I'm a little bit proud. :-) )Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590153368194137758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761080938810306228.post-63985293538155114882017-05-04T15:44:48.097-04:002017-05-04T15:44:48.097-04:00The way that scene came across in the musical Oliv...The way that scene came across in the musical Oliver captured the astounding indignation of the adults.

It was my first time participating in the party, and it was a real treat to have you pop by and read my thoughts.<br /><br />I love the verse you are referencing here. It's one of my favorite verses in the entire Bible. Yes, God certainly gives exceedingly, abundantly, beyond what we could ask or think. <br /><br />Blessings on your day,<br />Patti @ Joy in the MiddlePattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948766889057998160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761080938810306228.post-27773932524394164192017-05-01T08:50:59.811-04:002017-05-01T08:50:59.811-04:00Jeannie ... thanks for the gentle reminder that Go...Jeannie ... thanks for the gentle reminder that God is there, waiting with arms wide open, desiring to give us more more more of who He is and what He offers.<br /><br />Amazing what He can say through us in all of 300 seconds, isn't it.Linda Stollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568264417855502332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761080938810306228.post-23017634434138231852017-04-29T16:32:56.727-04:002017-04-29T16:32:56.727-04:00Thanks for your thoughts, Jeanne: I always enjoy h...Thanks for your thoughts, Jeanne: I always enjoy hearing from you.

I'm glad He never condemns us for wanting more, even when we may be a bit misguided in what we ask for more of (NOT saying Oliver was!).

And so true.<br /><br />Have to admit, though, the first time I heard that line from "Oliver Twist", I was in my 20s, and I thought the kid said, "Please, sir, I want Samoa."<br /><br />And I thought, me too, kid. Me too.<br /><br />#1 at FMF this week.<br /><br />http://blessed-are-the-pure-of-heart.blogspot.com/2017/04/your-dying-spouse-303-give-me-lord-what.htmlAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230537202427640540noreply@blogger.com
