Where's the love??



    

I'll just dive right in, this blog was suppose to be written a week ago.... and I have thought about it every day since. I must get it out. Where's the love? We as Christians are suppose to show love and live love. Preaching to someone and shoving bible verses down their throat doesn't necessarily work for all people, nor does it sit well. Sometimes the only thing we can do is to live love. Live a life of love, people are watching you, TRUST. People are watching how you handle situations in life, how you are as a person, and if you're talking the talk and walking the walk.

Christ loved us so much that he came down from heaven, to live life as a man and to ultimately die for our sins. If that's not awesome, I don't know what else can come close to comparing to that. Jesus showed us love and continues to show us love, even though we are undeserving of his love. And no matter how many times we fall, he always accepts us back, with open arms. Some of you are sitting here reading this like ok, I know all of this what are you getting at?

As Christians we are suppose to show love, even to those people who we feel are undeserving. I am so guilty of this and this is something we all struggle with, but hey we're human (we have to keep on evolving).  I don't understand in a situation, how one friend can be nice to another friend and talk about how different he/she is and how much they have grown in Christ/spiritually, but in another breath be so ornery to someone else. Here's another scenario, someone is confiding in you, (maybe something that you don't neccessarily agree with) you start spitting bible verses at them. Not listening mixed with, unneccessary aggressiveness usually never works.

We're suppose to love one another and be better. Why is it the "hardcore" Christian that tells people they're going to hell? Why are they going to hell because they sin differently than you do? Why is any Christian condemning someone to hell? We're suppose to open our arms and show love. Be the light. (Easier said than done). We have to love the unloveable. Jesus didn't come down here and love the people who were easy to love. He went out and found the prostitutes and tax collectors. No judgement, just love and some guidance. We were placed here to tell others about Jesus and how awesome he is.But sometimes no words are required, our lives have to be that example.  We all have our struggles, but we're suppose to encourage each other, not condemn.

 

Do you talk the talk and walk the walk? What are your thoughts?

Let My Love ADORN you....


 
     I feel like it's been forever, probably because I have been thinking about blogging everyday. I have also had a topic, sometimes I think I overthink things more than I should. I should get an idea write it down and not worry about how it comes out until I sit down and begin to create. There are things that I don't write because I don't want people to take it as bragging, but it's not. I just want to share the good things in my marriage. I want to let everyone know that a marraige can be fun and that there are GREAT men out there. The same way others like to share the negative, I would like to share the positive.

 
       My Husband bought me the cd Kaleidoscope Dream. I am a Miguel fan and ADORN is my jam. (My husband likes it too.) The first couple of times that I listened to it in my car I blushed, thinking about my husband, because it sounds like something he would have written for me. Does your husband adorn you with his love? This is something I experience in my day to day life. If you haven't heard the song, check out the video below:

 

I have a great husband. Trust we get on each others nerves (those of you who know us, have heard us say it more than twice lol) We try to make everyday count. Our stay on earth is temporary and we don't know when it'll be over. That being said I have the kind of husband who appreciates our conversation as much as he enjoys our romp sessions in the bedroom (sorry mom if you're reading. )He loves my mind as much as my body. He is a gentlemen. He lets me know daily that I am loved and appreciated. It comes in the form of swats on the behind, kisses throughout the day, text messages, cooks dinner and looks. . My husband looks at me all the time and he make mes feel beautiful (even when I'm not feeling it myself) He makes sure to let me know. It's just awesome to have a husband who not only tells me that I'm the only woman in the world for him, but he makes me feel that way as well.

I have one of the good guys. I am truly thankful and I let him know that it's not taken for granted. He is considerate example when we're running low on toothpaste after he squeezes some onto his toothbrush he makes sure he squeezes extra to the top, so when it's time for me to put some onto my toothbrush it's already there. It's the little things that go a long way.  He helps to make my home peaceful and he let's me know it's a place I can come home to after work and just be. I know that I have his whole heart. He is very loving, patient and he makes me feel desired  (SO IMPORTANT, even on those days I feel undersireable)  GOOD MEN do exist.

Ladies how do your men make you feel? Are they gentlemen?
Men how do you treat your woman? Woman is this how you want your mate to treat you??
Feedback anyone?
