Friends and Family Don’t Always Get It – God Only Knows

March 12, 2019 By Sherri

Friends and family don’t always “get it.” In fact, they rarely do. I have several people in my life who try and really want to understand. I am so thankful for them! Nevertheless, I still need people in my life who do. Often, we have to find that understanding in a support group or counselor and not from our loved ones. 

No matter who we have or don’t have, I do find some comfort in knowing that God does know what we are going through, all our losses, all our hurdles and all our pain. This song gives me comfort.

If you need help right away, please call 911! If you want someone to talk to, call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline 1-800-273-8255.

Keep up the fight for your healing! Pursue joy amidst the battle! Seek ways to make a difference in the lives of others!

Why is America in Love with Chip and Joanna Gaines?

Chip and Joanna Gaines are a nice, easy-going couple who live in Waco, Texas. They are a dynamic duo, as she is a designer, he is a general contractor and they are the owners of the Magnolia Market. Their lives were busy before, but now it has exploded into the limelight as the Hosts of the hit TV show, Fixer Upper on HGTV!

People are flocking around this couple and are thoroughly enthralled with this show! But why did America fall in love with Chip and Joanna? What makes them so special?

Well, in addition to their undeniable talent and work ethics, they are open, real and giving souls who love one another, their family and people. Chip and Jojo strive to help others, have integrity and have fun!

“There are so many inspiring qualities in Chip and Joanna Gaines. They are truly a couple worth admiring. The world needs more bright-shining beacons of hope like Chip and Joanna Gaines. And America could use more wholesome family shows like Fixer Upper!” RAZC.

The Gaines’ give great hope to us all, that there are still people out there who are not full of anger, criticism and hate. And they are role models for all of us who are married, as they endeavor to build their marriage on love, respect and quality time together!

Their adoration for one another as they banter back and forth in an playful way, is refreshing and delightful. Even with their recent fame and fortune as stars of this incredibly popular television show, Chip and Joanna remain humble and live a very nice life on a farm, that is not full of ego and opulence.

“In a world obsessed with portraying a picture-perfect image and putting on a show, the Gaines strive to be authentic and genuine. And as many Magnolia clients will attest, the Gaines are the same people in real-life, and on TV” RAZC.

Chip and Joanna are not perfect. I hate to break it to you, but nobody is. And they will be the first to tell you that. Nonetheless, their lives are built on the simple principles of loving one another, family and others. Thus, it should be no surprise to us that they get these principles from their faith and walk with God.

In this world today, it is easy to become bitter, angry and selfish humans who focus on material success, accolades and step on whomever gets in our way. Chip and Jojo are doing their best to follow God’s Word and that is not a bad thing, people. It is a good thing! All that is good in this universe is from God.

Thank you, Chip and Joanna, for stepping into our lives and reminding us that there are still people on this earth who live their lives to care for one another, their family and others. Though most of us do not have a platform such as being on a television show, we can all set a stage in the show of our own lives. And we can choose to set that stage with love, sincerity and compassion.
