Wedding Anniversary #24

We Praise the Lord for today, because 24 years. ago my GEM & I we're cleaning and decorating the Church, while at the same time looking into each others eyes ... During all of this love and happiness, my mother(who's now with the LORD) & her best friend Lucy(my second Mommy 2) were preparing a festive 4 everyone 2 eat ... Due 2 the blissful fact that at 3:00 in the afternoon,where we Worshiped, Prayed and met 4 the first time. My GEM & I were no long going to be 2 hearts; because after we'd exchange Wedding Vows then Jesus Christ would be join us 4 life ... 

Genesis 2:24 ~Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

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.

BLESSINGS,

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.

Bringing Down WaLLs

Most of today's couples are undergoing a great deal of unnecessary drama and stress ... For the simple fact that they've allowed a communication gab to grow like mold in their relationship. As you know mold is dangerous and can bring about serious health issues if it's not taken cared of immediately ...

Wrapping this post up, husbands and wife's here's a little advice ... Don't be ashamed or too proud to ask for help so that those painful walls can come down and you two can go back to delighting in your marital life ... In conclusion, if you wish your relationship to progress try a little of this ...

 1 Corinthians 13:4-7  
4. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant ⁵ or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;  ⁶ it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. ⁷  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

BLESSINGS,

Why 2 WED?

More and more couples now a days are getting married;  however its not Till Death due they Part. Why is that? Perhaps its due to the following:

1. 
   Maybe they're not ready to put aside their single ways.
2. Or could it be that its all about leaving their parent's home and becoming their own boss?
3. On the other hand, some couples tend to feel that getting married produces: stress, financial baggage and/or cramps their personal style.

Nonetheless, we see marriage as the first institution created by GOD, it also joins a man and woman as one flesh and finally it forms a give and take relationship in a loving kind of way. At least that's what it did for us 23 1/2 BLISSFUL years ago. This is how the BIBLE defines marriage ... 

GENESIS 2:24 ~ THEREFORE SHALL A MAN LEAVE HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER, AND SHALL CLEAVE UNTO HIS WIFE; AND THEY SHALL BE ONE FLESH.

FINAL THOUGHT ~ If your not TRULY ready to share your life from head to toe with someone your supposed to LOVE, then wait a little more before you walk down the isle ...

BLESSINGS,
