"Never assume anything
"To assume is to make an assumption"
Always challenge the norm and seek out the answers for yourself. Follow no one blindly. Do nothing without first seeking to understand why. Always keep an open mind. Most importantly, believe in yourself and the fact that you are different and what you think matters more than what society says.
Alan Alda’s advice makes for a fitting conclusion: “Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in." http://www.motivation-for-dreamers.com/never-assume.html
will write more about this later........children are calling me!!!
I have been corrected. Thank you........that would have been embarrassing!!! well I am a newbie after all.
So I have reinvestigated the word assumption in Christianity and this is what I have found.
The bible doesn't actually say anything about the word itself, it does say the following, correct me if I am wrong.
"Don’t Assume Your Problems Can’t Be SolvedJohn 6:5-7
When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?” He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “Six months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.” (NRSV)"
"Don’t Assume The Worst In Other People
1 Chronicles 19:2-3
“David thought, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent a delegation to express his sympathy to Hanun concerning his father. When David’s envoys came to Hanun in the land of the Ammonites to express sympathy to him, the Ammonite commanders said to Hanun, “Do you think David is honoring your father by sending envoys to you to express sympathy? Haven’t his envoys come to you only to explore and spy out the country and overthrow it?” (TNIV)"
About Me
- Families and Happiness
- Well, where do I start? I could start at many stages in my life; all very exciting and adventurous in some sort of way. Probably best to start when I met my husband 10 years ago, as this was the turning point in my very emotional and dramatic life. Met Ben through work, we had a wonderful life together, very ambitious, career driven until we decided to started a family 4 years later. The fertility Journey did take 2 years to conceive but we got there eventually and conceived little Thomas, now for someone like me who has no patience what so ever this was a agonizing and stressful wait but well worth it. We moved from our home town Bournemouth to Ipswich with Ben's work, I gave up my careern and then married in Cumbria in 2009. We continued to have 2 more children very easily compared to Thomas, Jesiica and Baby Wilson.
Looks like I am also someone who assumes a lot. No wonder I have felt bad and let down. I have just assumed. Assumption can have bad affects on your mind and emotional well-being. For example.
ReplyDeleteCause unnecessary stress
Waste time and energy
Create misunderstandings
Cause you to miss out on great opportunities
Lower your confidence and create self-doubt
Create obstacles that don't exist.
To conclude this we need to ask more questions and not be afraid, even of what other people think too.
Steve was just reading your blog and he says that it is Catholics that believe that Mary's body is not on the earth but instead ascended into Heaven and that is not what Christians believe....
