Does anyone have tips regarding attending social events, such as happy hours with coworkers and express that drinking isn’t my preference?
With me being the only one on my team who doesn’t drink, it causes me to stick out, and others constantly question why I’m not drinking.
It kind of deters me from attending work events, but I know there’s a lot of benefitting in being around.

Why don’t you drink? I don’t drink but I go to the happy hours. Coworkers ask me why I don’t drink and I just tell them I don’t want to drink. I just keep drinking cola and my coworkers don’t care that I don’t drink. I didn’t feel any pressure to drink even when I was a staff. Coworker asks me if it’s a religious reason that I don’t drink but I tell them it’s a personal choice not to drink for me. If it’s a happy hour setup by the firm then coworkers cannot make fun of you for not drinking since it’s a firm event.

My husband and I regularly attend (virtually lately) a church we love, however there’s not a great way for us to connect by way of a small group (We’re in our late 20s and I’d say the average age in our church is 50 so all the groups are geared towards parents with adult children, things like that). How do you find ways to connect outside of church?

My 5yr old son and 3 yr old daughter love watching Ryan’s World videos. My son said it will be awesome if Ryan can come to our church. I’m not sure if Ryan is a Christian. I told my son that we should pray that Ryan will get to know Jesus and he could one day come to our church. Now Ryan and his family is included in our prayer every night before going to sleep. I never thought about praying for the people that are in the videos my kids watch. Jesus can use Ryan to change world.

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.
