@FluffyYellowDuck Your thread seems to have attracted a lot of comment already... :)

@VictoryinJesus Great verses there; and I'm reminded of Helen Lemmel's verse, for when the believer truly looks to the Lord Jesus, '...the things of earth will grow strangely dim / In the light of His glory and grace.'

@marks Kind of depends, in a sense, how much modifying an existing tattoo is doable. Like, for example, if a woman that is soundly converted and walking with the Lord has a tattoo of the name of an ex-bf ("BILL", etc.), she would likely not want to spend the rest of her life looking at it; and...

@Eternally Grateful I can see how getting the vaccination is sensible.

@marks Glad you got over it well; I have know ppl who died of Covid...

@marks Yes, well, some older ladies have definitely become quite dexterous in using their trolleys, by weight of experience...:)

@FluffyYellowDuck PS: The face isn't visible in the second photo, although we don't absolutely know what the stage of life is of the lady in the photo...

Hi @VictoryinJesus Seems like the wheels being retractable can be a pivotal issue...

Back @FluffyYellowDuck While it seems obvious that a lady with the simple confidence to have earrings in and a bit of inking can be Godly and modest and with interest in prayer and the Scriptures, yet it's true that legalistic rules can really distort some ppl's appreciation of reality, right?

@Marvelloustime Wholesome reminder there from Jude; I love how Judea at the end speaks about the Lord's keeping power, and of the glory due to His name!

@FluffyYellowDuck Oh I wasn't referring to your age, in any case! :) In the second photo, the face is out of the picture, but the lady has young looking hands and wears leather pants, so this is why I just assumed she is younger...

@Eternally Grateful It seems to me that in Matthew 24 the Lord Jesus is speaking about the period after the church has gone, with tribulation saints being on earth then...

@Eternally Grateful Well, this is exactly what I believe Scripture indeed teaches, and for ppl to resist this can cause a lot of long-term confusion, right?

@Rita What I couldn't stand was, a new, folding umbrella over there that I would obtain, would blow inside out seemingly at the slightest gust of wind and be no more use..... Re. trolleys, I can see the relevance of having a good trolley more than I did...

Hi @FluffyYellowDuck If someone is in significant discomfort in one way or another, it can indeed make one's mental processing to seem harder from time to time...

@Rita Very good point; some items are just not built to last.... Needs to be thought about beforehand. (A bit like inexpensive umbrellas that don't last long...)

Hi @FluffyYellowDuck Interesting thread; the second option looks as if it's quite versatile right? can be either carried or wheeled..... :) The lady in the second picture might be young and have the energy to carry the bag, in any case, don't you think?

@Taken Ephesians 2 and John 6 make it clear that saving faith is a work of God in the heart.

@Taken I guess the wider question, standing back and not personalizing the matter, is: does it represent the 'obedience of faith' (Romans 16.26) or the rule of legalism?

@Taken Interesting that Romans 8.9 says: 'Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His'; in other words, all true believers - born again of the Spirit of God - are indwelt by the Holy Spirit.
