When you make a sacrifice in marriage, you’re sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.
- Joseph Campbell

For some reason, I can’t really last long with a dark theme. I love lighter ones, white if possible. This goes the same for my life. I have been in and out of depression. Sometimes it lasts longer than the other ones. But at the end of the day, whenever I see my loved ones, I know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. There will always be love and laughter waiting for me.

Do you like my new theme?

No two person are alike. I have heard this line time and time again. I know it to be true, of course. Me and my brother are the primary example of this line. I am a bit impatient most of the time. I would get up very early if I have to meet someone on time. I don’t like having someone wait for me. And I expect the same courtesy. My brother, on the other hand, loves to take his sweet time over things. Easy going, you cannot rush him, I tell you. He’ll just snap at you when you pressure him to go faster than his normal way. That’s him.

But over time, especially when you mature, you learn how to tolerate these little idiosyncrasies of the persons around you. You learn how to tolerate their quirks. I have mine, you have yours, I am sure.

If you want harmony around you, tolerance is the key.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies, succeed anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of being selfish and having ulterior motives, be kind anyway. What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight, build anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you, be honest and frank anyway. Give the world the best you have, it may never be enough, give the world the best you have anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous, be happy anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it’s between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Rain is normally depicted as both good and bad. Remember the saying “When it rains, it pours”? When blessings come pouring in, that saying is of course applicable. The same holds true when problems keep popping out one after another.

But you know, rain took on a new meaning for me. It now means cleansing to me. Cleansing of the soul. Whenever I hear raindrops on the rooftop, I know the Lord is reminding me to breathe deeply, close my eyes and let the rain wash my troubled soul. Cleanse it.

I now look at rain as something positive. I now make it a point to look at something positive in everything that life throws at me.

Be positive. Live and love life. And remember to close your eyes, breathe deeply and let the rain Man cleanse your soul.

I found this post at My Life as Mama Jodi and it really made me smile. I hope it is okay with her that I reposted it here…

Matthew 18:20 ~ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Does this count?

My little Anika always does this at night. Except that she makes my dad and mom pray with her this way. Ha! Ha! Ha! She is such an adorable kid and I love her so much!

by Rick Warren
excerpts

Don’t live in the past. Time can’t bring anything or anyone back.
Don’t put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.
Don’t throw your life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill. Find a new friend.

Don’t commit when you are not ready.

Go on that trip. Don’t postpone it.
Say those words. Don’t let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society’s scorn.

Write poetry. Love Deeply. Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.

Take care of yourself. Don’t wait for someone to take care of you.

Live your dreams.
Don’t lose faith in God.

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you’ll never get back.

Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give to someone is your time.
Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.

God is good all the time!
