Over
several months, I have been encouraged by quite a few friends to write a blog.
So…today I have yielded to these requests. This blog shall contain a diary of
my thoughts or concerns about a variety of matters of the time or situations in
everyday life. I may at time refer to these thoughts as what I may call
“witassessims” or might we say ‘a deason perspective’. So…today I am embarking
on a new journey of blogging and imparting my “deasonperspective."
The
first topic I’m going to chat about is when people do not like you because you
do kindhearted gestures. This topic was derived because I remembered a
situation back in the early 1990s. My daughter had said to me, “Mommy, those
people at the church talk about you behind your back (she had overheard two
adults conversing about me), and you still do so much for that church.” My
response to her was, “I am not responsible for how to others react to my kindness,
but I am responsible for my reaction to their unkindness.”
Over
the years, this event has come to surface lots of times. This recurring
challenge has surfaced many times and was brought to mind today in my scripture
readings. “He who returns evil for good, evil will not depart from his house.” (Proverbs 17:13 NASB) Today would you please reflect…are your
actions returning evil for good? This is a daily challenge, but in Him, we are
always up to the challenge.
Thank you so very much Saddi D. and Carolyn T. for your encouragement into this endeavor, let the adventure begin!

Thank you for this! Today I was upset about something, and wanted to take action and seek revenge. Thank God for His word. "I will hide His word in my heart that I might not sin against God".........
Alright Now!!! Welcome to the blogosphere.
