[@tamebrown4901]

Please rest often because we need your knowledge and wisdom for a long time my friend ❤. Thanks always for the great work you do.

Thank you! We're taking the next two weeks off for the holidays, but we'll be back in January, Lord willing!

The word giver receives a word. I love that insight. That will preach.

Amen!

Thanks Dr. Imes, solid meat as always and thank you for the pastoral / self care / reality check at the end 👍 very useful as I can often get a wrong view of my place in life. Hope you have a great evening 👍👍

[@CarmenJoyImesPhD]

Your teaching adds much-needed depth to context. Thank you for your service to our Lord and to us. BUSY is an acronym. I working as a self-employed Carpenter all my life, I was busy. What I learned years ago is something that applies directly to your message to all of us. We often wear “I’m so busy“ as a badge of honor. Consider this; Being Under Satans Yoke the next time one thinks about they’re schedule. Bless you all

[@CarmenJoyImesPhD]

That's a challenging word! In many quarters we treat busy-ness as a virtue, but I believe that God wants us to learn to live within limits.

[@qcbtbx]

I definitely needed to hear that.

[@CarmenJoyImesPhD]

Glad it was helpful, brother!

I loved your practical application from this week's passage. It reminded me again of when I had the pleasure of meeting you at Jubilee a couple of years ago and you inviting me to join you on lunch with Lisa. At some point, you mentioned that you were trying to help me connect with others doing similar work. Last week, while I was on vacation, I was writing a blog about Christian celebrity and used the story there as well. I will run it by you before I publish it to make sure you're okay in me mentioning you. In the meantime, great reflections today with this passage.

[@CarmenJoyImesPhD]

I have fond memories of meeting you, Chris. And I'm so glad you were able to join us for lunch!

"So I don't know who out there needs to hear this....." EVERYBODY! :)

We have to learn to delegate tasks that humanly one person cannot perform. Excess stress causes anxiety and depression due to excessive workload. Let's avoid taking anxiolytics and antidepressants. Let's not be arrogant, believing that we can do everything, otherwise we will hit an insurmountable wall.

[@derekmchardy8730]

I agree with most of what you say but have some concerns about your remarks re antidepressants. If you mean, ' Let's endeavour to sort our lives out before God, including delegation, before starting antidepressants,' I think that's 100% fine. If you mean 'Christians should always avoid antidepressants,' I think that's wrong and harmful. Clinical depression is a real illness from which Godly Christians can suffer. A depressed Christian taking antidepressants is no more problematic than a diabetic Christian taking insulin. Both diabetes and depression can kill you if left untreated. Many Christians suffer needless guilt & self condemnation because they need antidepressant medication. I'm a retired physician who thanks God for effective antidepressant medication. God bless you.

[@flematicoreformandose5046]

@@derekmchardy8730 Well, it has left me wondering about previous generations when the medications we have today did not exist and how they survived. Don't you think that natural medicine was what prevailed in previous stages? Or maybe people helped each other more than now? Should we blindly trust the big pharmaceutical companies that supposedly have the secret potions that solve every ailment? That and many more questions I ask myself and others.

[@Liminalplace1]

A bargin 40% off. When does that deal finish?

[@CarmenJoyImesPhD]

August 31st, I think.
