v
بعض الناس تقول عن انفسهم انهم
راضيين عن انفسهم لأنهم يحضروا القداس ويتناولوا من الاسرار المقدسه ويدفعوا
العشور ومواظبين على حضور اجتماع روحى ، البعض الأخر يقول انهم يحسوا بفتور روحى ،
البعض الأخر يقول انه لا يعلم كيف يرضى الله ، فكلمه اليوم عن هل كلنا نريد ان
ننموا روحيا ام لا وكيف وما هى معطلات النمو الروحى

From the Coptic Synaxarium for the 15th
Day of the Blessed Month of Hathor
On
this day we commemorate the martyrdom of St. Menas (Mina) who was called the
blessed faithful. His father Eudoxius was a native of the City of Nakiyos and
was its Governor. His brother was envious of him and he brought charges against
him before the Emperor. The Emperor transferred him to Africa and appointed him
Governor over it. The people were pleased with him because he was merciful and
God-fearing. His story is as follows:

Arguments in the family are part of normal family life. Or are they?
Many family discussions end up in arguments, which finishes with each
side more insistent on their opinion than before. In this talk we find
out that the best way to win an argument is to avoid it. We also find
out how to prevent a difference in opinion turning into an argument and
what is the best way to change someone's mind.
Proverbs 15
1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.

I was inspired and convicted reading this page: Click here Quotes include:
A child's upbringing commences at the moment of its conception
A child's
upbringing commences at the moment of its conception. The embryo hears
and feels in its mothers womb. Yes, it hears and it sees with its
mother's eyes. It is aware of her movements and her emotions, even
though its mind has not developed. If the mother's face darkens, it
darkens too. If the mother is irritated, then it becomes irritated
also. Whatever the mother experiences — sorrow, pain, fear, anxiety,
etc. — is also experienced by the embryo.
If
the mother doesn't want the child, if she doesn't love it, then the
embryo senses this and traumas are created in its little soul that
accompany it all its life. The opposite occurs through the mother's
holy emotions. When she is filled with joy, peace and love for the
embryo, she transmits these things to it mystically, just as happens to
children that have been born.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".
