What Do I Say?

Who Should I Tell About the Affair? How Do I Do It & What Do I Say? Finding our about your partner's infidelity is bad enough, but with taboo topics such as this there is often an added layer of concern. What if you tell and people cut you and your partner off? What if people blame you? What if you don't do what others “expect” and they are mad? This show navigates some of the considerations around who to tell, why, and how. Top take-a-ways Preparing to share the truth about infidelity is crucial for success. Sandwich the information between an introductory statement such as, “I have something shocking and sad to share with you…” and stating your desired end of the story. This sets the stage for the conversation and prepares the listener for both the information they are about to receive and what you want from them in the sharing of this information. Seek support and understanding for yourself rather than revenge or public embarrassment for another. Gossipy, negative energy will always come back to bite you, and it's important to remember that your goal is your own healing. Communicate clearly about the type of support needed and set boundaries for the kind of feedback one desires. Infidelity is hard for anyone to process. Keep yourself safe by asking for exactly what you need. Choose the right people to confide in and create a support system with individuals whose perspectives align with your desired path for a brighter, empowered future.

What Do I Say?

Growing up with a father who was unwillfully drafted in the Army to serve time in Korea, Shā Sparks inherited her father's “I don't have a choice” mindset. Later she realized she did have a choice and overcame abuse, addiction, depression, anger, low self-worth, being a bully and being bullied. Today, she has proactively changed that fear-based phrase “I don't have a choice” into determination inspiring others to make fearless choices. She guides leaders to re-ignite their passion into a more aligned purpose and transform it into increased profit. She knows that if she can take her own traumatic experiences and transform them into a treasure, then so can you!She is the CEO (Chief Excitement Officer) of Sparks of Fire International, a Certified Fearless Living Coach and Trainer, host of The Power of Investing in People Podcast, host of “Hey Shā, What Do I Say?” Facebook Live Show, author of “How to Get Your Voice Back”, and Co-Founder of #FIRESTARTERS Book Project.Connect with Sha Here:Website; www.shasparks.com#FIRESTARTERS Book Project: https://firestartersbookproject.com/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/sha-sparks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamshasparks/ Podcast on all platforms: The Power of Investing in PeopleIn This Episode:Sha explains how she made choices involving her pain and the feeling of hopelessness.Sha explains her biggest pain point.Learn how acupuncture helped Sha.Discover where fear comes from and how you can take it on.Hear how parents impact our development.Learn how to identify healthy love versus unhealthy love.Discover the difference between responding and reacting.Key Takeaways:You have a choice of how you respond to pain.Fear's job is to protect you, but it can also stop you when it shouldn't.Familiar isn't always what's healthy.Tweetable Quotes:“Trauma is what happened, fear is the reaction.”“We can't rely on someone else to heal us.”Connect with Joseph James:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/purthrpnFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/252908273026721Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meetjosephjames/

What should we say to Jehovah's Witnesses that come to our door, to those we meet at work, or to those who hand out Watchtower literature to us at the airport? Why is prayer and relying upon the Lord so ... More The post What Do I Say to Jehovah's Witnesses? appeared first on Family Shield Ministries.

We don't need to ask hurting people “what can I do to help?” There's another way to help that takes the pressure off us and the person we care about. It's to reflect the character of God in caring for others. Today's episode gives two examples of this important principle we can use in our relationships. Keep reading to learn more. A picture is worth a thousand words. I saw two news photos recently about the invasion of Ukraine that gave me hope in the midst of this awful tragedy. You've heard it said that a picture is worth a thousand words. I'm not counting, but here are my words about these two pictures that touched my heart for the compassion and kindness they depicted. They also illustrate the relationship principle I talked about in last week's episode, no. 152. I'll explain that in a minute, but I'll start with the photos. Baby strollers left for the taking  The first photo is of a train station where Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion of their country first arrive in Poland. On the platform where people get off the train, some unknown women placed empty baby strollers for the newly arriving mothers to take for their children. I think it's safe to say this was a spontaneous response on the part of these women to act upon what they first observed. They saw the news of millions of Ukrainians fleeing their country. I'm recording this near the end of March 2022 and the latest figures I saw were about 10 million people in Ukraine have fled their homes. They are mostly women and children; the men are staying back to fight in the war. The UN estimates 50,000 Ukrainians are entering Poland every day. I also think it's safe to say these Polish women reflected upon what this means for their Ukrainian counterparts. They're imagining what life must be like for them. To leave behind their husbands, brothers, fathers, and even grandfathers to fight the invading forces, not knowing if they will ever see their loved ones again. They see the photos you and I see of apartment buildings bombed and reduced to rubble. If the war were to end today, what could they possibly return to other than smashed slabs of concrete, piled one on top of the other where their homes used to be? No one asked, “What can I do to help?” No one asked these refugees getting off the train, “How can I help you?” I doubt if a committee was formed to design a care program with a catchy name and a clever acronym to assist these refugees. Instead, they put the ORA principle into practice. They Observed - Reflected - Acted. The baby strollers the Poles provide seemed in pretty good shape and I wonder if they were recently purchased. Giving away strollers, whether their own possessions or newly purchased, was a sacrifice. But a loss so minor in comparison to what the refugees were giving up. If you look closely at the photo, you'll notice the baby strollers on the train platform are pointing in different directions, with no sense of order. Just like their lives that changed on February 24, 2022, when Russia invaded their homeland. For the Ukrainian mothers, these baby strollers send a silent but powerful message to them that there are good people here in Poland. “They get me. They understand. In their nation's history they have been invaded by Russia, too. Maybe I'll be able to make it in this new country after all. At least my children and I are alive and with me. And there are some people doing what they can to care for us.“ A welcoming bridge The second photo is of a gray wooden bridge near the crossing from Ukraine into Romania. It's the photo you see at the top of the show notes for this episode. I'll also have a link to it at the bottom of the show notes. I'm struck by the contrast in colors in the photo. The sky is gray. The bridge is gray. But someone has placed bright, colorful stuffed toy animals on the side of the bridge. The Romanians observed the same photos of war as the Polish women and the rest of us see. They also reflected upon the meaning of it all and the impact on mothers and their children leaving their homeland in Ukraine. They imagined what it must be like to be them with frightened children under tow. The kids had to leave their prized possessions behind, but greeting them on the side of the bridge are colorful stuffed toy animals. Maybe this could be the start to a good beginning. This gesture sent a message to the arriving Ukrainians, “These Romanians must be good people to provide these stuffed animals. They're showing concern for my children. They understand kids because they must have children of their own. Maybe, just maybe, we're going to be okay here after all.” The refugees saw the Romanians reflect the character of God. So what does all this mean for YOU and me? You and I won't be expecting Ukrainian refugees at our doorstep anytime soon. But there is a relationship lesson we can learn from the Poles and Romanians. It's about the relationship principle of asking a better question than “what can I do to help?” It is to think about what you could do to best reflect the character of God in helping someone. And then do it. It is about taking our eyes off ourselves for a few minutes and putting ourselves in the place of hurting people who are scared and dealing with a life-changing loss of one kind or another. We don't have to look to fleeing refugees from Ukraine to find people like this. They're all around us. We can follow the example of the Poles and Romanians How about the friend who had to put their dog to sleep? The neighbor who just lost his job. The woman you work with whose mother no longer recognizes her because of Alzheimer's Disease. The lady in your church whose husband left her after decades of marriage. We can't make up for these losses. But we can reflect the character of God. That part of God's character that hates injustice and evil. The part that's kind and compassionate. The part that's gentle. We can be like that for people. The Polish women reflected the character of Jesus with baby strollers they gave away. The Romanians reflected the character of Jesus with the colorful stuffed toy animals they offered up on that cold gray bridge. How you and I reflect the character of God will be entirely different. It will be unique to you and me. What a privilege we have in doing this, whether it's giving away baby strollers or colorful toy animals, or something else. Here's the main takeaway I hope you remember from today's episode Since we are created in the image and likeness of God, when people are in need ask the Holy Spirit what you can do to best reflect the character of God to them. And then do what he tells you. As always, I'd love to hear any thoughts you have about today's episode. Closing In closing, I hope your thinking was stimulated by today's show, to both reflect and to act that's consistent with how God made each of us in his image. Because when we reflect his image well, we will feel the joy of being and doing what you and I were made for. You Were Made for This. That's it for today. In the meantime, spread a little joy in your relationships this week as you reflect the image and character of God. Until we meet up again next week, goodbye for now.

When you want to help others, instead of asking “how can I help?”, a better thing to do is offer a specific solution instead. It will lift a burden for those who don't yet know what they need. Listen to an example in today's show. Many people are going through a rough time The other day I received an email from Connie, a newer listener to this podcast. Her subject line read, “Not only am I enjoying them.” She continued with I pass them on to others, many going through tough times in their lives. Health issues, loss of loved ones, isolation, and loneliness. It has been harder for many to adapt to these past two years and your talks are positive, gentle, and encouraging with a welcoming voice. Relationship building is huge and your podcasts shine a light on any weakness and how one can do better! I am listening, so keep them coming. This one's for you, Connie In recent episodes I've been talking about how we can help people like those Connie describes, people dealing with health issues, loss of loved ones, isolation, and loneliness. We often don't know what to do or say to people like this. Often we'll say things like “Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help.” I know I've said this a number of times. The problem with this well-meaning offer of help is that many times people don't know what they need. Or they are overwhelmed with whatever they're dealing with. So when you ask, “what can I do to help? “ You've just created a job for them. You've given them a task, namely, to think about what they need and then contact you to meet that need. In times of stress that can be daunting for people. A better thing to do I'll give you an example of a different approach that I saw in my wife Janet the other day. One morning after reading a passage of scripture about doing good for people, the Holy Spirit prompted her to say to me, “I think we should get together with Linda.” This was soon after Linda (which isn't her real name. I changed it for privacy reasons) had initiated contact with us to tell us about her 40-something daughter's serious health condition. We knew this turn of events was deeply disturbing to Linda, and while many people were there to support her daughter, we wondered if Linda was getting the emotional support she needed. So Janet contacted her and made arrangements for us to pick her up and take her out to dinner. Being the classy people we are, we took her to a grocery store and chose from the limited menu that went with their limited seating. Everyone has a story As we talked for some time, and heard what was on Linda's heart she mentioned, “Everyone has a story. For now, I'm going back to the large church I was attending because some of the people still there know my story. I need to be with people who know my story.” We know Linda's story, too. She's a rather private person and to know her story is a great privilege. During the course of our conversation, Janet asked Linda how the Meal Train program was going for the family. This is where people volunteer online to prepare and deliver meals at designated times for a family. Linda said it was very helpful because when you're dealing with a health crisis in the household, the last thing you want to think about is preparing meals. But then Linda mentioned her son-in-law was going through a lot of organic fruits and vegetables he runs through their juicer for the liquid diet his wife is on. She said it was getting expensive. Listen well and you'll discover specific needs Janet then asked Linda, if they needed money for these fruits and vegetables. Linda said, “yes.” It was a specific need Janet asked about, which is a better way of asking to help others than “how can I help?” Without giving it a second thought, Janet reached into her purse and pulled out all of the $30 she had with her and gave it to Linda. It was a minor miracle Janet even had $30 at all, as she rarely carries any cash. “Here give this to your son-in-law to feed the juicer,” she said. While having the cash on hand was a miracle, giving it away was not. It's Janet's m.o. She's been generous like this since I first met her in her father's garage when we were 13. We talked about this afterward and remarked how it seemed easier to get the money to its intended recipient through an intermediary like Linda. It was less awkward than giving the money directly to Linda's son-in-law. A deja vu moment On the way home after our time with Linda, I had a flashback to a similar situation that happened a long time ago. We were in the early days of our missionary care ministry and trying to raise support. We happened to be in Greenville, SC visiting our daughter where she had recently moved. During our time there Jennifer arranged for us to meet a pastor who was the brother of one her good friends. So we got together with Kerry and his wife Cynthia for breakfast at Mimi's Cafe. They told us part of their story, and we shared part of ours, this new venture we were on starting a missionary care ministry. As we were getting ready to leave, Cynthia reached into her purse, and pulled out what I recall to be $30 and said, “Here, take this. I want you to use it for your ministry. It's all I have right now.” We were shocked at her kindness and generosity. I hadn't thought about this event in many years, but the picture of it rose to the surface in seeing Janet do the same thing with Linda. Months later we learned that Kerry's position at the church was eliminated. He eventually became an Anglican priest and pastored a church in Cairo, Egypt for a few years. Kerry and Cynthia now lead a church in Amsterdam. So Cynthia, if you're listening, your legacy of generosity lives on! The day after Back to our story about Linda. The next day after our dinner at the grocery store, Linda sent Janet and me this text: Thank you so much for last night. Thank you for picking me up. Thank you for loving me so tenderly in Christ. Thank you for letting the tears flow. Thank you for making me laugh. Such loving friends like you, along with tears and laughter, are so good for the soul. Knowing that you're here means more to me than you'll ever know. You are diamonds in the treasure box of friendship. So what does all this mean for YOU? Here are a few random thoughts I hope you walk away with: Every now and then it's a good idea to put yourself in other people's shoes and to think “What might it be like to be them right now?” Be open to hearing from the Holy Spirit to help you to help others Instead of asking how you could help someone, take a guess and ask a closed-ended question, Would you like me to do X? Would you like me to do Y? To help others, observe what other people are doing to care for people, and then do something different. Don't let people go through hard times alone. Remember the quote for the movie The Soloist: “All he wants from you is to show up.” In whatever you do always reflect the image and character of God Think of how you've been blessed in the past, and pay it forward by doing the same thing for others As always,listen. Both with your ears, and your eyes Here's the main takeaway I hope you remember from today's episode Instead of asking a friend in need what you can do to help, a better thing to do to help others is to ask a closed-end question like, “Would you like me to ______?” The more specific a solution you suggest, the better. It lifts a burden from their shoulders and puts it on yours. As always, I'd love to hear any thoughts you have about today's episode. Closing That's it for today. In the meantime, bring a measure of joy into the lives of others this week by spreading a little relational sunshine around you. Until we meet up again next time, goodbye for now.

As a person of faith, we can help and comfort people best when we embrace and share the principle that hope is a noun more than a verb. An important relationship principle in today's show We talked in episodes 148 and 149 about what to say and not to say when our friends are going through a hard time in their life. I'll have links to those episodes in the show notes. Today's episode is about another important principle to remember in helping our friends who are dealing with difficulties in their life. Keep listening. It will help you, too. An unspeakable tragedy In episode 148 I mentioned the missionary who told Janet and me that the baby born to his son and daughter-in-law that morning was stillborn. A healthy heart suddenly stopped beating before birth. The doctors don't know why. The whole family was in a state of shock and just devastated. The baby was to be our friend's first grandchild. We viewed the funeral service online from hundreds of miles away. It was hard to watch. All that heartache seeping out of the baby's father who spoke of the overwhelmingly painful loss he and his wife had just suffered. A week or so later our missionary friend's wife texted to say “these have been very hard days, some almost unbearable, but we are clinging to Jesus with everything we've got.” She followed this up with another text where she wrote, Wisdom from a blog post I spent some time on a website called “Hope Mommies,” a ministry that focuses on moms who have lost babies/children. One of the blogs shared this: “Friends sent puzzles and coloring books. Those things were all nice, but they didn't actually fill the time. Your mind is still free to think while completing a puzzle or coloring a picture. I wanted something to occupy my mind so time would pass. In these moments, the comment "time heals all wounds" was not helpful. It felt like time was not moving; it felt like I would never experience healing. The excruciating minutes would linger and linger. If time was my only hope, that felt cruel. “But thankfully time isn't where our hope lies. Our hope is in Christ Jesus. He met us in our pain and presented us with true peace, that transcends understanding (Philippians 4:7). It is not by the passage of time, but "by His wounds we are healed" (1 Peter 2). We don't have to wait. Even in the midst of our suffering, He offers us hope. "And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you." Psalm 39:7 Hope is a noun more than a verb This blog post reminded me of a stark difference between people of faith and those who choose to make no room for God in their life. For people of faith, Hope is a noun. For everyone else, Hope is a verb. People of faith understand that for us, hope is found in the person of Jesus Christ. He's an anchor that's rock solid. He's something and someone that never changes. Jesus is a certainty. He's a person we can cling to “with everything we've got” as my missionary friend put it. Hope as a noun get's us through our present difficulties. While Jesus hope awaits us in the future, it's a source of strength to get us through our present difficulties For everyone else, hope is uncertain, with no guarantees. It varies from person to person. Hope as a verb is inconsistent, subjective, and elusive. It's about the future, with no help for the present. But for people of faith, hope is a noun more than a verb. In my book THEM - The Richer Life Found in Caring for Others, I touch upon the questions people have about why God allows bad things to happen to good people. Here's a brief excerpt: The goodness of God I don't have an answer for these questions. All I know is that God is good, and I cling to this. It is my anchor. It is what gives me hope and what keeps me from going crazy. He is good when life is going well, and He is just as good when everything is not. The goodness of God is not defined or explained by the circumstances in which I find myself. I also know that even if the worst happens to me here on earth, God will comfort me; He will be compassionate with me. He is the God of all comfort and the father of compassion. We can count on this for sure. Even if the worst happens, God can use it to draw us closer to Himself—if we let Him. He can use it to strengthen us. He may very well make us better people for it. Even if the worst happens, God can use what we go through for greater purposes and reasons than we can ever imagine. (pages 116-1170 So what does all this mean for YOU? For a person of faith, how we view Jesus is where the rubber hits the road in dealing with all that life throws at us. Do we know Jesus well enough to view him as an anchor, someone we can cling to when our world begins to unravel? Here's the main takeaway I hope you remember from today's episode As a person of faith, we can help and comfort people when we embrace and share the principle with others that for us, Hope is a noun more than a verb. And it can be the same for them, too. Closing As always, I'd love to hear any thoughts you have about today's episode. I hope your thinking was stimulated by today's show, to both reflect and to act upon the great news of the Gospel that Jesus is our hope. Our only hope. Our relationship with him is the most important one we have It is one we were made for. That's it for today. In the meantime, spread a little joy in your relationships this week. Until we meet up again next time, goodbye for now.

During the four decades of the Troubles in the last half of the 20th century, an estimated 3,500 people lost their lives, due in no small part to improvised explosives. More than half of these were civilians. Many were children. Even 20 years following the Good Friday agreement of 1998, the Irish people are still grappling with how to find justice and settle the mysteries of how loved ones died. This is no easy thing to do, and yet as a nation the Republic (whose current events I am more familiar with than the North) are committed to engaging in this painful process with peace, healing, and forgiveness as the ultimate objective."

Curtis spoke on saying the right words in this sermon from our Daniel series.
