Secrets shouldn't Exist!

The foundation to a loving and successful relationship is called trust ... Without trust, it's likely that a couple won't make it past 2 to 3 mouths. Statistic also show that couples that tend to withhold information from each other are only building endless walls of sorrow and unnecessary misunderstandings ...

Think about this before you confide more in a friend instead of the person your dating, engaged to or plan on marrying in the future ...

 

Proverbs 4:23 (NCV) - Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life.

PONDER THIS?

Introduce Jesus Christ into your life's, sprinkle a dab of love, respect, forgiveness and oh yes, trust ...

1 John 4:18 (NCV)  - Where God’s love is, there is no fear, because God’s perfect love drives out fear. It is punishment that makes a person fear, so love is not made perfect in the person who fears.

Moving In

My GEM of a husband and I are always talking about how its a pity that the words Moving In has such a different definition from when we were kids.

In the past, the neighbors that lived in the neighborhood for a longer period of time would introduce themselves to the new families that entered the community. For example, they'd invite the new families for a cup of coffee and a slice of apple pie. Or they'd accompany their kids in order to meet the new neighbors son or daughter and happily share a little parental advice regarding the school systems, teachers and other teen activities in the neighborhood.

We're writing all of this because yesterday we saw a new family Moving In and everyone acted like they didn't care. Moving In, the process is the same; however the way people react, has definitely changed. What a shame that society has forgotten this ...
 
John 13:34 (NLT) - So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.

With this we'd like to conclude, have a Terrific Tuesday everyone ...

Just Relax!

Ever so often, a man(husband) and woman(his wife) tend to debate about how to eventually handle past issues that as a result evolve into martial disputes, needless arguments and/or pushing each other away ... Maybe, at that moment you feel like it's a sure fire method to all the above madness; however why don't you two take a step back and ponder this? Don't you understand that you didn't meet by accident or chance; but instead that your loving encounter was destined by God? 

Furthermore, both of you were joined together for greatness and that's why the devil doesn't waste any time when it comes to meddling in your relationship. You see this is the proper of his destructive mission; but without a doubt the Lord has a heavenly design for both of your life's. That being said, read and study the following bible verse carefully?

 

John 10:10 (HCSB) - A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.

 

Thus, instead of focusing your attention solely on your martial bumps, why don't you switch gears and reminisce about when you two fell in love, wed and finally brought forth little bundles of joy(babies) into this world? Now, the moral of this post is to pray so that Jesus Christ can teach you two how to Just Relax!

Together, We Pray!

During our sunny days or toughest storms, together we pray everything away! We join together in order to ask God through bending our knees, holding each others hands and opening our mouths with endless praises for the Lord ... We know and believe in our hearts that in our unity, all our struggles are minor, our tears are less and our laughter is louder.  Oh yes, we're happier because together we pray in this type of way ...

Matthew 6:6 (HCSB) - But when you pray, go into your private room, shut your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

 

Praying together has been the key to our blissful 25 1/2 years of marriage ...

The Prescription

A bit of advice for all you wife's that feel the need to turn a conversation into an altercation ...

Proverbs 14:1 ~ The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.

 

Take this into consideration when you chat, discuss or share your opinion about anything with the: man of your dreams, the guy you dated for a period of time, got engaged to, finally said "I Do To" and gave birth to his & yours tokens of love(the babies) ...

 

Proverbs 15:1 (HCSB) -A gentle answer turns away anger, but a harsh word stirs up wrath.

Haven't you discovered that a kind and respectful tone goes a long way? Furthermore, it leaves a positive and lasting mark in the mind and heart of the person you wish to spend the rest of your life with ...

Rain Drops

We love the rain, especially when it falls on our faces; because its a perpetual reminder of all our most jubilant childhood memories ... The unconventionally ways we used to jump up and down in those messy puddles of water, while at the same time playfully ignoring the stuff our loving parents would say to us all the way home. For example, this was one of their favorite phases, "Don't get your school clothes dirty" ...
 
Nonetheless, what really stands out in our minds was the first time my GEM & I experienced our first kiss under an unexpected rain storm ... That was and still is Pure Heaven in our eyes and we're also convinced that this is what the Lord had in mind for us too ...

Genesis 2:18 9NLT) - Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”

We live and love to praise the Lord's name, in the rain ...
