There are so many deaths, every weekend there's a burial. Has one thinking where do we stand with God, us who remain behind? What are you doing for those that are around you?
Sometimes even a smile warms away three winter months wrote someone, I can't quite remember but whose words seem to ring truer with my growth each day. Too many friends and fam' have gone this year.
Death aside there have been wonderful moments in this year too....
A friend gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and another got married this past Friday on her birthday(we'll get back to this wedding for it's pearls of wisdom). Another friend has started her nail business and some friends have found love and are sustaining it so well with God as their third person in their relationships...
We all seem to be growing spiritually and that is so blessed. We're finding that with each day in growing older we become wiser through the lessons experience taught us and will continue to teach us going forward.
Back to to my Girl's Wedding, this is what i picked up:
- The Pastor unpacked what being unfaithful is:
- You can never look or touch another person other than your spouse and still be unfaithful
- When you lose faith in your spouse, you become unfaithful
- How to remain Faithful:
- Remember to celebrate each others strengths
(focus on the good aspects each of you bring to your relationship)
- Believe that one event does not corrupt a person's character
- Have faith In GOD
( when you come to moments where there are hurdles and mountain like obstacles that you
can't handle then leave them with God.)
#weddingwisdom ( the wisest old woman spoke & it made sense to my yet to be married self):
- Don't compete with your husband, men are afraid of competition.
- remember Love is not giving a spouse a comfy bed nor is it a plasma TV...
- People may say this marriage was made in heaven but remember that it is maintained here on earth
- Ask your partner what they precisely meant from a statement instead of assuming
- In your relationship do not listen to people wanting to tell you about your spouse's irregularities. Stop them in their tracks as they begin telling you stories or gossip stompies.
- You and only you will know your husband!
I grew up at this wedding realising that I had already somewhat come to these conclusions in having dated. If you cannot work through issues whilst you are dating someone and learn from each other's mistakes then i'm afraid marriage will be hard to live through. Be it a relationship or marriage throwing in the towel before you've tried working through issues is a no, no, no for you don't fully learn the lessons that come with each experience.
Be yourself but remember that in a relationship as much as there is you or him (visa versa) as individuals that there is also a unit called us which encases each of you as one entity and within it the best solutions come from love, trust, faith, commitment, compromise and a willingness to see the union flourish into a beautiful flower or tree one day.
