Lasting Memories

Memories are past events that bring about laughter, smiles and happy thoughts when you really need them most ... In so many homes memories are being recorded in a familys minds, hearts and photo albums for generations to see ...

With that in mind, the best memory you can share or leave with a love ones is this ... Think before you say something because a photo can be taken back or torn into small pieces; however the image you leave in a person's mind or heart can only be removed by GOD!

Thus, take this Bible verse to heart when your at a celebration with your siblings or friends; because by being mindful of your actions, then you'll see how wonderful life can be ...

Proverbs 10:7 ~ The memory of the righteous is a blessing,
    but the name of the wicked will rot.

What is Love?

LOVE isn't a whim you obtain due to a lack of rest. Nor is it a passing phase that eventually ends up as a basket full of  shameful acts that's been committed by an individual filled with rage. Instead, LOVE is  an emotion that comes from the heart  and  should never leave any painful or negative mark. Nonetheless sometimes it does, followed by a person shrugging  head every time they allow a stranger to enter their bed.

Final Thought

However the best example of real  LOVE comes from above and can be experienced by a person giving Jesus Christ the green light in their life. Then the Lord will instill in you love, knowledge and oh yes, self respect.

For the word of God says this ...

Philippians 1:9 ~ And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment,

BLESSINGS,

Doesn't Determine

It's not the height of the roof over a family's head, nor is it the amount of rooms that really determines a family's joy ...What can and should produce unity between mom,dad, the kids and maybe even the grandparents is this ... That some or all of the members in that home or apartment really loves the other sibling with their hearts instead of only their mouths ... If your having diff icultity in perceiving what is being said, take some time and think about this...

1 John 3:18 ~ My children, let us not love with words or in talk only. Let us love by what we do and in truth.

True BLue

How can you tell if someone really loves you or whether they're just putting on a show to impress everyone in sight? Now we're going to offer you a few helpful tips ...

1. Bend your knees and start to Pray.
2. Observe the person's reactions to major events, situations and/or questions.
3. Ask yourself if what your feeling is love or lust.

After all has been said and done, then give the BIG Matchmaker in the sky free rein so that he can tell you whether or not that relationship is worth your time ...

John 8:32 ~ Then you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.

Someone

Someone entered our life's years ago and finally taught us the meaning of what true love was all about ...  OMG, we were missing out on so much ... For instance, having someone to guide, direct, listen to all our mess and birth real love into our life's ... We weren't pressured or tricked into allowing this person in; because it felt like a DREAM come true and do you know what? We were fully awake when all this occurred ...

He didn't care about our past, on account of he knew it wouldn't last ... It was as if we'd won a long and bitter war ... Today we're HONORED to say that this person was, is and will ALWAYS be part of our family; because he made the Ultimate Sacrifice. That's why we own him our life's. Care to know his name? It's JESUS CHRIST ...

This is how we honestly feel whenever we mention his Holy name in the form of a Praise ...

Philippians 2:20 ~ For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare.

Pow Wows

This generation of couples doesn't seem to truly grasp the definition of marriage ... We say this because many of them tend to plunge into a relationship, live together, conceive babies out of wedlock, then start wedding preparations before even sitting down and having a Pow Wow with each other ... Now, a Pow Wow is a serious conversation between the couple that's dating and/or planning to take their relationship to another level. Topics that should be discussed during a Pow Wow are God, family and finances. By doing this you'll have an idea about what the other person's intentions are ...

I can recall word for word when my GEM and I had not one; but numerous Pow Wows during our courtship and about what we expected from each other ... They were full of Prayer, tearful debates and honest sharing. Oh yes, during all of our Pow Wows we NEVER disrespected or challenged each others points of views ...  

Our motto was and still is this ... Think before  you open your mouth! That's been one of the main ingredients to our blissful, tasty and loving marriage; because it's not all about what your say; but how you say it ... 

1 John 3:16 ~ Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
