Thank You... MY LOVE

I can't help saying thank you to MY LOVE...

I feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that you love me...deeply, greatly, unconditionally.

Yours is nothing compared to what others think they feel for me. Yours is beautiful, tolerant, enduring, fulfilling, captivating, moving, touching, sacrificing...

Your love never fails. It is FOREVER

It's so great that you could give your life for me; and oh, how blessed I am to know you'd do that again and again.

Friends will leave; brothers, sisters, parents will go - but you, My LOVE will stay- through thick and thin; through the storms, winds, happiness, sorrow, odd times and good times.

I'm living because of you - My LOVE; my WORLD; my ALL.

What can I give in return?

You don't eat what I eat. And even if you do, you'd gladly give it all to me and go on an empty stomach just so I can be filled.

You don't wear what I wear. You'd rather clothe me and go on without clothes just so I'm covered.

I can't even pay for all yo…

Why Did I Get Married?

I really enjoy seeing African-Americans movies, and this particular film is no exception. In fact, I can’t stop watching it and I can’t wait to see ‘Why Did I Get Married too’.Really, Tyler Perry got me hooked on this one, that after seeing it several times, I was able to sift one or more things from it and I’d like to share them here.

Before I share what I learnt, let me give a synopsis of the movie…There are four couples who go on an annual one week vacation – more like a reunion. During this vacation, they reconnect, talk, pray, iron out issues and so on – but this vacation opened up secrets that they’ve all bottled up. Secrets that made them ask such question as ‘Why did I Get Married?’
I’m going to be looking at the couple one after the other…
Mike & Sheila (Richard T. Jones & Jill Scott)The problem with this couple is Sheila’s stature. Sheila is on the fat side but Mike just couldn’t live with that! And so he insults her at every opportunity he could find. This gave Sheila…

REBECCA

Rebecca is one bundle of great lessons. God didn’t just choose her to birth a mighty, strong and undefeatable nation; God saw in her rare virtues that weren’t common in their days (and in our days). Let’s take a look at the life of this virtuous woman from Genesis 24:
1. Rebekah…CAME OUT with her pitcher on her shoulder (Vs.15): this great woman came out or went out to work; she was hardworking and would not have her maids do the dirty work (vs. 61) and would not delegate. She would work all by herself irrespective of her status, background, and wealth (Gen 24:61). She was not ashamed to work or flaunt her work tool (her pitcher on her shoulder); she would not sit idle at home when others are working on the field.
2. Now the young woman was very BEAUTIFUL TO BEHOLD (Vs 16a): she was a woman of class and beauty. She was good looking; well dressed; she was presentable and good to associate with.
3. A VIRGIN; no man had known her (Vs.16b): she wasn’t just beautiful, she was chaste in all wa…
