Keep the Respect Alive in Your Marriage
DATE: 09/20/2007 15:52:20 / MOOD: in love
Gail had the habit of griping at Andy every time they drove together. Instead of a casual "Would you mind if I turned the radio down a bit?" she'd snap, "Must you have that so loud? Every time I get into this car, you have the radio blasting!"
Focus on respect. Gail would never have said that to a friend. What if she carried similar respect into her conversation with her husband? The same goes for choosing appropriate action. After all, respect is central to marriage.
Roger thought his sense of humor was wonderful -- even if no one did. And he carried his jokes as far as he could. One afternoon, he was at the apartment pool when his wife stopped down to let him know she was going to run a couple of errands and would be back within an hour, in plenty of time to leave for the Sunday school party. She pointed out that she was all dressed, so they could leave whenever he'd like.
With the sudden mischievousness of a nine-year-old, Roger splashed her repeatedly, styled hair and all. And then he was upset that she was upset. A good sense of humor is wonderful, but childish pranks denote meanness -- something that has no place in a good relationship.
Respect includes not flirting with anyone but your spouse. It amazes me when couples think they can flirt "harmlessly" without their mates being hurt by the special attention given to another. I'm convinced more marriages are damaged by a mate's insensitivity in this area than we know.
Anne and Bernie had weathered eleven months of rocky adjustments as newlyweds when they attended a New Year's Eve party with several friends. After a pleasant evening of table games and snacks, the couples watched the big red ball drop on the Times Square television broadcast. As the thousands in New York cheered, Bernie put his arms around Anne and kissed her passionately. To Anne, the kiss represented sweet hope that the new year would be better than the old, filled with deeper love and greater commitment. With Bernie's arms still around her, Anne leaned against his chest, savoring the special encouragement that surged through her.
The moment was short-lived, though, as another guest, Kim, turned away from kissing her own fella and sauntered over to Bernie. "Happy New Year, big guy," she said as she kissed Bernie solidly on the lips. Then, to Anne's astonished disappointment, Bernie wrapped his arms around Kim and kissed her back. Suddenly, the embrace that had seemed so full of love and promise for Anne meant very little. The party was over for her in that moment -- and so was the hope of a fresh beginning.
Perhaps you're thinking, Yeah, I should have such little problems. You don't know what I'm living with. True, I don't know everything that's going on in your marriage, but I know about the normal husband-wife tension. So let me ask you, do you want a good relationship? Do you want a bad one mended? Are you willing to make the effort?
In John 5, Jesus went to the pool of Bethesda and approached a man who had been infirm for 38 years. Day after day, those who were ill watched for the stirring of the pool's water that would herald potential healing. Into this intense scene, Jesus strode to ask the man an important question: "Do you want to get well?"
Interestingly, the man didn't say, "Yes, that's why I'm here everyday." Nor did he say, "Well, to be honest, no. I'm comfortable in this familiar routine." Instead, he answered there was no one to help him into the pool. In other words, it wasn't his fault he wasn't healed.
So, I'll ask you: Would you like your marriage to be healed? Or are you still offering excuses? And don't think life would be simpler if you were single. I've been a single mother for many years since my husband's death, and I can assure you there is no harder job in the world. So put your energy into working on this relationship -- and making it as good as it can be. Sure, it's hard work. But believe me, the reward is worth the effort.

The Meaning Of A True Diva
DATE: 09/19/2007 18:26:29 / MOOD: in love
Diva are seen as mean and vain but so am letting everyone know the true meaning of a diva.. Divas are women who are past their mothering time and have some serious life experience behind them. Divas do not suffer fools and are never hesitant to forge ahead when no others would. Divas are secure in who they are and know what they have to offer in in this life. Divas are unable to see the world as mundane. Divas see magic in every thought, every process, every move and every moment. They could not look at life differently if they tried. they are able to finds hidden truths in all things. Also, do not get in her way. Divas love their children and friends greatly and are capable of glorious romances and loving relationships with spouses or partners. Their friendships are deep and abiding, usually with one or two particularly tight bonds and several additional pals in thier realm of influence. They do not require validation of themselves from others to feel good about themselves. Though they do enjoy compliments. Whiles their bonds are very close, they are old enough and experinced enough to to have dealt with death in a few ways, not just the physial death of others, but the death of friendships, marriages and dreams. They do understand that the people and situations in our life, both precious and challenging, are translent. They are comfortable in their own skins and perceive their lives as blessed, regardless of the external challenges they may face in mundane life. Remember Divas do not suffer fools lightly and are impatient with manipulators, users, slackers and phonies. You won't see a Diva witha partner who doesn't pull his/her own weight or who is less than respectful on an ongoing basis. Divas are strong, independent, pro-active women who are listened to when they speak, loved for their fiery spirits and respected

Why Parents Get Gray Hair

Why Parents Get Gray Hair
A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed nicely made up and everything neat and tidy.
Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed, "Dad".
With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:
Dear Dad, It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with you and Mom. I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice. I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, her tight motorcycle clothes and because she is so much older than I am, but it's not only the passion, Dad, she's pregnant. Joan says that we are going to be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood, enough for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children. Joan has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it and trading it with the other people in the commune for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.
In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Joan can get better; she sure deserves it! Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.
Your son, Chad
P.S. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report card that's in my desk drawer.
I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home.

DATE: 09/19/2007 16:20:07 / MOOD: in love
Most people fail to realize that in life,it is not how much money you make but how much you keep.If you going to build the empire state building, the first thing you need to do is dig deep hole and pour a strong foundation. If you are going to build a home, all you need to pour is a six inch slab of concrete. Most people,in their drive to get rich, are trying to build an empire state building on a six inch slab

when tomorrow starts without me by some girl who's in love.
DATE: 09/19/2007 15:06:09 / MOOD: in love
When tomorrow starts without me and i'm not there to see, if the sun should rise and find your eyes with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, While thinking of the many things we didnt get to say, I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And each time you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand. And said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those i dearly love. But as I turned to walkaway, a tear fell from my eye. For all my life, I'd always thought, I didnt want to die. I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do. It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad. I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you, and maybe watch you smile. But then I fully realized, that this could never be. For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow. I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When GOD looked down and smiled at me, from His great and golden throne. He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you." Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew. I promise tomorrow, but today will always last. And since each day's the same way, there's no longing for the past. You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were some times you did some things you knew you shouldnt do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free. So wont you come and take my hand and share my life with me? So when tomorrow starts without me, dont think we're far apart. For everytime you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

never by boyz 2 men
DATE: 09/19/2007 10:53:50 / MOOD: in love
In this world today, love is scarce and far away,
And your heart gets so afraid,
To trust someone.
All the times He let you down,
There was no love to be found.
Well, it's not the end,
There'll be time to mend,
And you'll love again.
Never, never let a broken heart,
Take your chance for love away.
Don't never let it make you fall apart.
Never, never ever let the pain,
Take your need for love away, never, no never.
And I know it seems hard,
Open up, let down your guards.
But you owe it to your heart to try again.
Oh comes the time when we must change,
What the past had thrown our way, don't take the blame,
Don't be ashamed, throw your fears awa
Let go, don't be afraid,
For you will never find another one you love again.
I know that you'll be sorry girl.
Be strong, before it's too late,
Because forever is too long for you to live in pain.
Just don't give up,
Please open up to love

some will talk ,let them
DATE: 09/19/2007 10:47:02 / MOOD: in love
The world is so full of critics today
That one cannot mind what people will say
For they'll talk if I am dirty
They'll talk if I am clean
They'll talk if I am fat
They'll talk if I am lean
If in my exams I pass, they'll say; "She thinks she's a powerful last
But fail my exams and what do I hear?
She's caused her poor mother many a tear
Change my suit evryday, "I think I am fine"
But change a suit once every oft
The remarks they'll give will soon tear off.
If dressed in the latest fashion, I stand at my gate
They'll say, "She thinks she's so mighty and great
But change my attire by one little
Oh! Her taste is woefully weak.
In my short span of life
I've learnt this one thing
The world you CANNOT please
For just as bears will stalk
SO PEOPLE WILL TALK! LET THEM TALK!
