Moving Comments Left On Daughter C. Joy Armstrong Photography Blog Here, To My Blog

Yes! Today I will begin to move each of the comments I left on CJ's blog here. Why? I read a letter her sister wrote that makes my heart very sad. The words are from a hard heart that years of teaching to disrespect her father caused. That disrespect was taught to CJ, and my comments on her blog may well offend her. So, since I said things from my heart that may mean a lot to her someday when her heart leads her to ask "What is my dad really like?," she can see my heart and find me.


I'll attempt to post them in chronological order, here. It may take awhile, but her peace is worth the effort!

I so wish I'd married a mother who had the abiding Love that my own mother showed when the mother of my children denied her vow of marriage and ran away in a very bad cloud of imagined fears. Our lives as a family were frozen in the disaster that had befallen our home at that time, and her Divorce wreaked any hope of following the path of wholeness to reconciliation for four precious children. I despise Divorce!

Our Creator records "I hate Divorce!" in the Bible book of Malachi. Elsewhere He states that He sees Hate as exactly the same thing as murder. He also had Moshe' [Moses] record that He, Creator only allowed Divorce, since He knew how hard-hearted those who would dare practice such a crime would become, and to spare their marriage mate untold hurt and harm, He made Divorce as a provision for the hard-hearted spouse to run away from the lifetime vows to love and cherish, and honor and respect the other spouse.

Anyway, that's a very long story of how humans substitute everything they can in place of the required reconciliation that Creato0r requires from every one of His Believers, without exception. Today's churches are infiltrated with deceivers that promote the spirit of disharmony in marriage, so I'm not surprise that my children's mom took the "Church Path" to end her vow of marriage to me. But, it sure makes me sad to know the fate that she and our children, save our oldest, who decided to honor his dad, as Creator commands, and their children face every day of their lives.

Well, on with this comment transferring project!

Perspective on charity; A dog is, perhaps, one of our best examples for the Spirit that gives us a quality we name, "Charity." A dog? Even after a family is split by deception that result in Divorce, their dog loves all equally. "Charity" does the same thing, but much better; it continues to respect and trust, no matter how much the hurt. True "Charity" just does not disappear; it lives on, giving, trusting, being kind, and taking tons of disrespect, dishonor, and deception. Search for a charity where the people give love to those who despise and hurt them, but they just persist in giving their love. That is True Charity. Disciple Matthew recorded a most revealing fact about true "Chariity;" 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." That "Seek" part is the key to true charity. The "Kingdom" is "His" home, so what does one seek to be gifted with "all these things"? Here's some movie scripts that shed some light. Far and Away (1992) Joseph Donnelly: "I tried to prove myself to you, But I know nothing of Books, or Alphabets, or Sun, or Moon, or... All I know is Joseph Loves Shannon" Shannon Christie: "Pretend you love me." Joseph Donnelly: "I pretend I love you." Shannon Christie: "I pretend I love you, too." Shannon Christie: "Look, you've got your land." Joseph Donnelly: "But all the land in the world means nothing to me without you." Shannon Christie: "This was our dream together. I don't want this without you!" First Knight Lancelot: "I dare not kiss so lovely a lady. I have but one heart to lose." Guinevere: "I want to marry you. Not your crown, not your army. Just you." Guinevere: "Love has many faces. I may look on you differently, but not with less love." Guinevere: "I only know one way to love my lord, and that is body and mind and soul." Frankie and Johnny (1991) Frankie: [Johnny carves a rose out of a potato and gives it to Frankie] "What is that? Johnny: "A rose. It grew in the kitchen." Johnny: "I know I can't the make the bad go away. You're right, I can't. But when the bad comes again, I am gonna be next to you." Forget Paris "When you love someone, And you love them with your heart, It never disappears when you're apart. And when you love someone And you've done all you can do, You set them free, And if that love was true.... When you love someone It will all come back to you." Fried Green Tomatoes Ninny Threadgoode: "A heart can be broken, but it will keep beating just the same." Fools Rush In (The song my wife & I call "ours!") "You will never know love unless you surrender to it." Forces of Nature "Marriage has less beauty but more safety than a single life; it's full of sorrows and full of joys. It lies under more burdens, but it is supported by all the strengths of love, and those burdens are delightful." Recently I watched Ingrid Bergman's "Joan of Arc," Joan, against all her family's naysaying and deceptions to keep her from doing the Right thing to obey the King of Heaven, made herself one of history's best examples of charity. She was murdered by her own king, when his heart was torn by lies about her, and he turned against her. But, Joan's charity gave a nation hope, even when its people had given up hope, because their leaders had sold them out with lies, deceptions, and murders. Charity has a clear definition: Love in spite of deception; togetherness in spite of hurt; trust, even though our heart has been broken beyond human endurance; and best; the King of Heaven calls us to give all for those who hurt us most, just like in true Marriage Example?
