GIFTS THAT DON’T COST A CENT

GIFTS THAT DON’T COST A CENT
By Willie B. Guina

1) THE GIFT OF LISTENING…
But you must REALLY listen.
No interrupting, no daydreaming,
no planning your response.
Just listening.

2) THE GIFT OF AFFECTION…
Be generous with appropriate hugs,
kisses, pats on the back and handholds.
Let these small actions demonstrate the
love you have for family and friends.

3) THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER…
Clip cartoons.
Share articles and funny stories.
Your gift will say, “I love to laugh with you.”

4) THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE…
It can be a simple
“Thanks for the help” note or a full sonnet.
A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for
a lifetime, and may even change a life.

5) THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT…
A simple and sincere,
“You look great in red,” “You did a super job”
or “That was a wonderful meal”
can make someone’s day.

6) THE GIFT OF A FAVOR…
Every day, go out of your way
to do something kind.

7) THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE…
There are times when we want nothing better
than to be left alone.
Be sensitive to those times and give
the gift of solitude to others.

Cool THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION…
The easiest way to feel good is
to extend a kind word to someone,
really it’s not that hard to say,

Stronger Storms, Greater Strength

STRONGER STORMS, GREATER STRENGTH
By Bo Sanchez

I like eagles. These creatures are swift and reach amazing altitudes.
Other birds cower at the thought of even nearing one thousand feet,
but eagles go twenty thousand. And while others seek shelter during
violent storms, eagles soar through the raging winds, and they
actually “have a ball.”

Its secret? It doesn’t fly.

The eagle soars. You see, it doesn’t use the energy of its wings to
move about. It wisely takes the power of the rushing wind, catching
its quiet force behind and beneath him. And that is why they love the
storm: The stronger the wind, the greater their strength.

Eagles make me think about how I try to do things on my own,
propelling myself to reach higher altitudes by the vigor of my own
wings. No wonder I tire easily. But if only I allow the Glorious Wind
of His Spirit to move my soul, to carry me beyond my own failures and
weaknesses.. .I can boldy face the most difficult situations, soar
through the most violent of storms. Yes, the greater
the problem, the stronger I can become.

“Strength of my soul, desire of my heart, let me trust in You
completely: Let me give to You all the that assails me, that I may
fully rest under the shadow of Your wings”.

Reflection: Tired of flaping your wings? Soar in the mighty wind of
the Spirit. He will take you to a place of rest.

In every race of our life there will be time that injury will stop us for finishing the race. However, Derek didn’t stop but instead complete the race and I hope that we can do the same.

Derek’s Father said:
but whatever happens he had to finish
and i was there to help him finish
i intended to go over the line with him
we started his career together i think we should finish it together

I believe that Jesus Christ is always with us from the time we started the race and He will surely remain with us until we finish this. So, just hold on and trust Jesus promises in our life.

I hope that you will be inspired by this video 🙂

Why do you love me?

If your partner ask you this question how / will you answer this?
Why do you love me?

—————————————–

Ok here’s my answer:

I just learned tonight from our Mens forum that we MUST love our partner UNCONDITIONALLY. Sounds familiar? I’m sure your answer is Yes but we seldom notice.

When your partner ask the question -> Why do you love me?
The correct action is to hug your partner and don’t say anything. Why?

If you attempt to answer this question it’s like removing the meaning of the word UNCONDITIONAL, since you will surely start your statement with the word…”BECAUSE” and the word because is conditional. If you will not start with the word “because” then it will surely be another reason and that reason is again conditional.

I love you BECAUSE…you gave meaning to my life.
I love you BECAUSE…you made me feel like something.
I love you for who you are.

Sorry, if I’m a bit preachy but seriously this is something for me.

If we truly love our partners UNCONDITIONALLY then let’s avoid…
the I Love You “Because”… and the I Love you “If”

Difficult? Yes, but this is how Jesus loves us 🙂
