thought for the day

me … trying to say something briefly …

in my 53+ years, i have encountered an extreme rollercoaster of events. my emotions have been pushed beyond their limits multiple times. my trust has been crushed multiple times. my contribution to the facial tissue industry has been enormous.

what am i trying to say? i am not really sure actually.

i see others going through rough times and my heart aches for them. my annoying constant desire to fix all the world’s problems keeps me up at night …. often.

my thoughts are like someone ripped the pages of a script out of the book and threw them up in the air then read them as they landed. so are my prayers some days.

unlike some, when i commit to someone as friend, it is no small thing. to be a friend is a huge investment that i take on without thought.

for all of you … whether you like me or not … whether you like what i say or not … i am still me …. period

i pray that each of you knows that GOD will NEVER leave you, nor forsake you. HE is ALWAYS with us.

close your eyes and think of the sky just as the storm clouds are leaving on a sunny day.

Just The Way You Are – But Wait, There’s More!

Clearly, I was too brief … I have heard this song several times in the past few days. PLUS, another song that … let’s just say “punctuated the point” that I need to expand on my previous post.

Yes. This song is Bruno singing about the beautiful woman in his life.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of the words in this song.

At the time my wife and I got married, there were numerous other couples who had gotten or were getting married. I seriously have no idea just how many marriages I was aware of over the course of 5 years.

I state that, to state this … of those many marriages … MOST … yes most of those marriages have ended. Divorce. I will not spend time picking apart those marriages. It is NOT my place, nor am I even close to being an “expert” in marriage relationships. Lord knows, I had my flaws.

The purpose of this continued post is … the words of the song.

(I have the video below. Watch it and LISTEN)

Whomever you are with. BE INTENTIONAL! BE REAL!

You need to OPENLY tell them how wonderful they are. You need to intentionally tell them how important they are. You need to randomly/consistently find and emphasize the positives!

LOVE is not “sex when you want it”. LOVE … TRUE LOVE ‘REQUIRES’ effort. Love is omnidirectional in effort as well as in benefits.

Accentuate the Positives!

Love is Patient, Love is Kind. Love does not envy, Love does not boast, Love is not Proud. Love does not dishonor others, Love is not self-seeking, Love is not easily angered, Love keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil; Love rejoices with truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love Never Fails.
