Hi dear friends! I won’t be so active on this blog in the coming months. Our baby girl will be arriving soon and I don’t wish to give my time to multiple sites. I will continue posting on the facebook page. I will be stopping by here sometimes. Blessed feast and much love!!

Anonymous:  When does a child become a child in utero or at birth?

tradfemme:

You half answered your own question anon, a child doesn’t just become a child- as you phrased yourself they were always a child.

A child is created at the moment of conception.

You all sit and talk with your thoughts, see everything in the black light and torment yourself in vain, that’s why you suffer from body and soul. After another such attack, your stomach starts to hurt, so how can you find strength for the spiritual? You can drink medicine and relieve pain, but if you do not get rid of sadness, then the stomach will begin to hurt again. Do not accept the thoughts that cause disappointment in you, so as not to make useless the gifts God has given you.
The more correctly you look at things, the more peace and tranquility you will have, the healthier you will be and you will stop drinking medicine. Sadness disarms a person. Sucks all the juices of mental and bodily forces and does not allow to do anything.
Poisons the soul and makes the body a mess. It hits the most sensitive places of the body, causes fear and exhausts a person. The poison of gloom can not only fall a man with a weak body, but also very strong. - St. Paisios the Athonite
