SOMEBODY SHOT THEIR DAD

The rate of infidelity in marriage these days

Is so alarming that makes one think

What happen to the first love that was shared?

That brought this two separate entity to unite as one

That one you feel and prayed and see is good for you

Call it whatever names

Extra-marital affairs, infidelity

One night stand, cheating adventure hmmm a deadly end

We live in days where we have modified this act

Adultery is adultery

Adultery what a ravaging monster

It fears no man whatever how tough such a man is

Adultery can take a strong man and break him

Falling him flat on his back some rise up

While some never get the chance to come back up again

This has been an age long time battle

And so many has been stigmatized

With this great epidemic called adultery

Has nailed so many men down shattered careers

Shattered dreams and lost their families

Broken and shattered dreams

Someone shot their dad

Just as an insurance risk occurred

Risk is also the central issue in determining whether or not

You will survive the ambush of another woman

Somebody shot their Dad

For some it’s the bullet that flies out

Of the ambush of another woman

And some go down because of the ambush of neglected family

Somewhere along the lane of adultery someone shot their Dad

I don’t know what is taking you from your family

I don’t know who are spending all your time with

Or are you currently spending so much time

With an attractive woman other than your wife?

Do you have a personal time with the Lord in prayer and read the Bible?

Are you absolutely sure that you won’t get shot by somebody?

SOMETIMES

You wanna talk with someone for so long

And you just don't wanna be the one calling.

Your voice echoes on a far distance

Hoping to be heard by some a question goes

Who's here?

When the heart is cold 
and loneliness took your heart far
you were alone in the midst of the crowd
who comes along when one cries for help?

And no one was there to held the call

You long for someone to talk

Someone to share your burden heart with

You stretch forth your hand

But no one was to hold on to

Sometimes

Even been in the midst of the crowd

You still feel to be all alone

As other walks in pair you walk alone

You bear it all alone by yourself

Sometimes

Loneliness becomes your acquaintance

You confident…your space

Your world is just you and you alone

Sometimes my mama house don’t feel like home

Sometimes

EMOTIONAL REJECTION

After leading Britain to victory

Against Nazi Germany Winston Churchill

Earned his place in history

Britain has been so intimated by Hitler

That petitions were being circulated at Oxford and Cambridge

That Britain should surrender to German

Hitler was roving around Europe at will

His war machine was seemingly unstoppable

Most of the Britain was defeated psychologically before the war started

But what Winston Churchill took charge

As prime minister on May 10, 1940

One month later leaders from around the world

Were wondering whether if France was defeated

Britain would quit as well

After so much great speech from Winston Churchill

By the power of his will and personality

Churchill as one historian puts it

Transformed cowards into brave men

And incredible things begin to happen

Five years later, the incredible became reality

On May 7, 1945, Germany surrendered to the Allied forces

How did Britain show their thanks to the man

Who had single handedly restored their resolve and determination

On July 25, not quit three months after Germany’s defeat

The nation showed their thanks to this great man

By summarily voting him out of office

Churchill was rejected by the very people

He had helped to save! He had pulled them together as a nation

And then with victory in hand they turned on him

Churchill was wounded

Perhaps you too likewise

NO MARRIAGE IS ALL SUNSHINE

THE Blue Niles a rushing, churning river,
which gains its energy from the mountains
down which it descends. It carries
with it much of the rich and muddy
soil from the country through which
it passes to the Nile delta far away.

In the delta, the Blue Nile is joined
by the White Nile, a sleepy, peaceful river
and which flows across the plains.
As their names indicate,
the White Nile is a clear river in comparison to the Blue.

Once they join together
into the same riverbed,
these two river maintain their distinct qualities
and colors for many, many miles.
From high above, one can clearly see
the muddy currents of the Blue Nile,
and the clear waters of the White.

They are separate, yet united.
The longer the rivers share
the same riverbed, however,
the more their current intermingle,
until the two rivers truly become
one powerful and life-giving waterway.

When tough times hit a marriage
or disagreement erupt,
make a decision that you will pull together,
rather than allow yourself
to be pulled apart by temporally circumstances,
momentary conflicts, or resolvable differences.

Choose to flow together.
The longer you do,
the more “one” you will become. No marriage is all sunshine,
but two people can share one umbrella if they handle close.

BEST FRIENDS MAKE THE BEST SPOUSES.

Is your spouse your best friend?

How privilege you are if the answer is “Yes.”

Perhaps an even more important

question to ask is this: “Are you a good friend to your spouse?”

in being a good friend, you very often gain a best friend!

A true friend is someone

to whom you can empty your heart

a heart often made to feel “full”

by many different sources of passion, concern, or worry.

Francis Bacon once wrote:

“We known diseases of stopping and suffocation

are the most dangerous in the body;

and it is not much to otherwise in the mind:

you may take sarza to open the liver,

steel to open the spleen,

flower to sulphur for the lungs, castoreum for brain;

but no receipt openeth the heart

but a true friend, to whom you may impart grief,

joys, fears, hopes, suspicions,

counsels and whatsoever lieth upon

the heart to oppress it, in a kind of civil shrift or confusion.”

One of the best gifts

you can give your spouse and your children

is listening ears.

Be a friend to the four C’s:

Compassion,
Caring,
Consideration

and Comfort.

Those four traits never grow old or fall out of fashion.

THE BONDS OF MATRIMONY

A MAGENT has tow poles.
It doesn’t, it isn’t a magnet!
It’s only a useless hunk of scrap iron.
One of the greatest danger signals
in a marriage is when either partner
no longer feels attracted to the other.

This attraction actually

has very little to do with youth or sex appeal

as some might think. Attraction is based

on how we define and perceive “beauty”

which is an inner quality, not merely a cosmetic

or superficial state of prettiness or style.

True beauty lies in the image of God.

When we see another person

as being created by God’s image,

we begin to see more of their beauty.

The more we acknowledge the beauty

of their creation, the more we are attracted to their beauty.

Part of keeping the magnet working

is seeing your spouse as

“God’s creation in process.”

Your spouse may be influenced and encouraged by you,

but ultimately your spouse is God’s creation.

Your spouse’s beauty is rooted

in what God is doing in his or her life.

You are privilege to watch your spouse’s

beauty unfold and to enjoy the person

your spouse is becoming!

The bonds of matrimony

are worthless unless

the interest is kept up.
