Families today come in all kind of shapes and sizes, single parent, grand parents head of house-whole, blended families, and so forth.  Some how individuals seems to lose focus on his or her family when it comes to making decisions that most likely effect the entire family.  Adolescents and adults alike, that one bad decision, that one thoughtless act, or that one selfish act can cause a family a life time of hurt, pain, and anguish; not to mention a boat load of money.  I've often told my children and grandchildren that we are like fingers on a hand; and I am the palm of the hand and the each of them were extended from me; they are my fingers.  Alone we can do simple thing, but all together we can do the impossible.  If one smashes a finger in the door or hit one with an object the WHOLE  hand hurts. Something as simple as a paper-cut  effects the hand, unknowingly; think about a paper-cut that you may have had, when you reach to grab something or to wash your hands, what was the reaction?  I've often asked my children and now my grand children to be careful of the company that they keep and the decisions that they make because regardless if one thinks that it is anyone else business or not when things go wrong, as they often do, it will effect the entire house-hold.  Acting out in school, mom or dad must lose time from work or become more stern at home, which leads to fewer at-will-play or leisure time, possibly more choirs for everyone. Bad grades, not pulling your load, running with the wrong individuals, missing curfew, or even just breaking the simple rules that one interprets as stupid or unnecessary can add undue stress and worry, cause lack of trust or hinder ones ability to function properly.  Same with the adults, one night of forbidden passion, hidden lifestyle or just a lame-brain moment can cause a family unnecessary pain, stress, or worse. Family members young or old should not get so caught up in their own selfish mess that he or she does not stop to think about how  their decisions will affect those that they love, those that have their back, or those that will suffer because of a bad decision, a heated moment, or a knuckle-head moment.  Think before you act, YOUR ACTIONS DOES AFFECT YOUR LOVED ONES! What's done in the dark will come to the light.

When one thinks that he or she is above questioning, doubt, or that his or her mate should not evaluate their action, there is a problem.  How many times should one expose his or her concerns to the individual, how many conversations does one need about issues before he or she actively set forth to either correct, strengthen, or eradicate the situation?  Is it proper for one to say that he or she is doing this or that out of love and then throw it in the other persons face every time it is convenient?  The one that is doing all of the remindings is forgetting that the other person has also inspired, supported, and helped him or her as well, without the ever-so-often reminders.  Life-lessons are supposed to teach the individual that experienced the situation better methods of dealing with situations as well as making one aware of the signs of trouble, mannerisms, and other red flags that are meant to be warning signs.  So why would one get upset with one that ...

IS LOVE ENOUGH

It is my belief, after research, observing individuals, experiences, and other studies, that when couples marry it should be for more than JUST love.  Love is seasonal and much depends on emotions and the atmosphere, when love is one’s only or main reason for marrying, matters may be more irresolute.  Marriage should have direction, plan, purpose; “where do you want the marriage to go” (Hawkins, 1991).  Some marry for financial stability, however, a great number more are waiting to marry as a symbol of their financial status within society to show others how successful they have become, as if marry is a stamp of approval of success to society (education, financial stability, home – now if I had a spouse society will say I have it all) (Cherlin, 2013).   Some individual marry because that feel or think at the time that they can’t live without the other person, but what remains after reality sets in, (intertwining two as one and learning how to live together, bil...

Many parts of One Body, Another's Servant.

If the grass looks up to a tree and tell it that you are not real, you don’t act like I act and you do things like I do, you must not be part of the Creators’ vegetation and you must be doing everything wrong because your blessing doesn't look like blessing to me and they don’t look like mine.  Look at how I and the other grass is blessed, how can you be a part of the Creators blessed plan?  Yet, that tree continues to stand in its purpose, continue to be bless the way God has set to bless and keep it (it His timing and method/THE WAY) fulfil its purpose, helping others, cleaning the air, home to many, and shade to others, all while holding on to the soil to keep it from washing away (and soil helping to maintain the tree) MANY PARTS OF ONE BODY.   The disciple had a problem with this as well as some others believers that desire to judge; decided for themselves that others are not part of God’s Kingdom not due to their fruits, but simply because they think that the ...
