Helping People grow!

People are always saying that people make mistakes from generation to generation, but what they do not see is that due to the Immaturity, dysfunction, and toxic Society that we live in with its self destructive structure, we are creating children who have no basis of common sense, logic or courage, thus they will fail as those generations before them, because they know not what they are doing, nor why they do it, they simply just copy the foolishness of those before them because they know not how to break the cycle.

Fighting for what is right and for the truth may be be hard, but it is the only way that a person can respect themselves and believe that they are living a worthy life.
°

Stand up for the truth even if you are standing alone.
Stand up for yourself, truth, love, honesty and the one/s you love.
No one said that doing the right thing was easy, just that it is the decent thing to do that will make an important impact on your life and society.

Parents are the protectors of children, the one’s who are the first teachers, the first real experience of the world and human beings to the child. Parents are the major influence on the child’s life and the one’s that will bend the child’s thinking in any direction, good or bad during the early years.

The children will learn a lot from parents just by watching them live. They will watch the paretns actions, reactions, talk, acts of revenge and hate, friendships, kindness or lack of it, prejudices, and how they treat family members, and how they treat each other, as well as other family and friends. Fact: Children mimic parents behaviour to some degree.

We parents will get great returns of love, companionship, care,and be treated with dignity if we bring up our children with respect and love that is innocent, genuine and we show that love and commitment with time spent with them.

Love is an action word, time is the most precious thing that a human being can give another, and when we give our undivided attention and time to our children we show them that our love is true, faithful, dedicated and real. (even if we need to make occasional or big sacrifices to do this).

Children should always respect their parents when the parents show genuine respect for their children.

Gossip, hate speech, assuming, slandering and ignoring one another causes us to break down relationships we’re in.

When we witness or become victims to these types of behaviors it’s imperative that we examine the initiator’s heart. Quite often it’s there that the issue resides, not so much the intended target.

As adults It’s important to not be so concerned with knowing every detail in another person’s life because we all want & deserve to have some amount of privacy.

If we genuinely want loving & enduring relationships with one another we collectively have to do our part individually to have better relationships with God. Then, we learn to have his eye’s, the same eye’s in which we each want to be viewed in by others.

A hating heart produces hateful thoughts.
Hateful thoughts produces hateful words.
Hateful words produces hateful communications.
Hateful communications produces hateful actions.
Hateful actions produces hateful relationships.

Just the opposite:
A loving heart produces loving thoughts.
Loving thoughts produces loving words.
Loving words produces loving communications.
Loving communications produces loving actions.
Loving actions produces loving relationships.

However our relationships are with God ↑, determines our relationships with → others.

Marriage:

A few years back I was told about a woman and man that I knew getting married. I was shocked, very shocked. I said that it was impossible, and I was told again that it was true. It was hard to believe though. The reason that it seemed impossible to me was that years before the girl in her late teens then, went to work for her future husband’s family, and she and he didn’t get on at all, he was always picking on her I was told.

I knew her mother well and she told me how they didn’t know what to do about it and they were at their wits end because he was so mean to her and she was leaving work in tears. The girls future husband seemed to take joy in playing mean tricks on her and when she was in tears he would laugh at her. If I remember correctly a few times she left work in tears early. It wasn’t a good situation.
*
I remember that there was talk of bringing in authorities about how badly this young female was being treated at work. She had a hard past and had many things to struggle through and this was yet another struggle. I actually knew both families very well and had known them both for many years. They didn’t seem to be on friendly terms, and other skirmishes had broken out with other family members.
*
That is why it was such a shock to me to find out that some years later they got married and have been happy together ever since. I know of childhood sweethearts getting married. I have heard of young people who fought as children getting married twenty years later and being happy. But this example was of them older, he was in his thirties and she in her late teens and then into her twenties. They were old enough to remember how they disliked each other later on.
💞
Some years they were apart and went their own ways, and something must have changed in them. Probably lessons in life, and changes to their opinions. And then they met again, and it all went together and they married. Love is so amazing, so forgiving, graceful, and eternal.
💕
Love has the strangest way of putting two people that no one would ever believe would marry, together in holy matrimony. We just never know.
💛
I wrote this to show you that anything is possible!
And that there is always hope.

Three people were in the water waiting to be saved…

Three people were in the water waiting to be saved. The boat that they were traveling in had sunk. They prayed to God to save them. These 3 were strong believers in the Lord.

After about a half an hour or so a small boat arrived and those on board asked the 3 people if they wanted to get on board and be rescued. They said “No, we are waiting on God to save us!” The boat left, the people on board were amazed at their faith.

Another bigger boat arrived a few days later and they were asked if they wanted to be rescued, but again they said “No, we are waiting for God to save us!” by this time they had been in the water for some time, they were getting tired and started praying often and were lost and confused.

Finally a few days later a big ship appeared and once again the three were asked if they wanted to be rescued and they replied tiredly, “No, we are waiting for God to save us!” The ship went on with the Captain, crew and passengers shaking their heads in total wonder. They saw how tired they were. They wondered if they were witnessing the fall of fools or very faithful people.

The three figured that they were not stupid and they new that Satan was testing them to see how strong their faith in God was.

Finally the 3 people died. All hungry, exhausted and they drowned.

At the Pearly Gates there was Saint Peter with his big book.

When Saint Peter finally got to the three people they were very upset and agitated, and they exclaimed in horror “We were all believers, we followed God all our lives, but He turned His back on us and let us die in shame and exhaustion!”

Saint Peter checked his book, got onto his cell phone and talked on it for a while and then finally looked at the three with a sad look on his face. He studied them and slowly shook his head. And said this, “God didn’t turn His back on you at all, you prayed and he sent you three boats. Each one bigger than the last, trying to show you that He was looking after you and that he wanted the best for you – God wanted to “Save You!” But you turned Him away. And you did it three times.”

“God realised that you were never going to listen so finally it was out of His hands and He had to leave you to your own fate.” said Saint Peter.

At this point the three finally understood their foolishness.

Lesson:

When we pray, God’s, answers and blessings can come from many directions, and be formed in many ways. They can be at first nudges, and then finally big nudges to try and make us understand that what is happening is for our own good. Don’t let your prejudices, weaknesses and opinions get in the way of what God wants for you – because what God wants for you is better than what you could imagine.

God won’t let you down, but don’t ignore His messages and then spend the rest of your life regretting your decision not to listen to God, or to God’s people. Regret is such a sad and lonely word. Come to Christ, follow Jesus, and know what love is.

We should never wait too long, or else one day we will lose the prize and it could cost us our future, or our life. Have you been warned enough? Have you been shown enough? Are you spiritually awake and listening?
Are you following God?

Proverbs Chapter 3, verses 5-7:
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes:

A person may have the best intentions to achieve something, but as long as they are on the wrong path and with the wrong people their intentions will never become reality.
*

Example:
Politics today. An Engine is already in place rumbling along, the elected political leader and political party jump on for a ride that will last a few years.
The engine is made up of many people, rules, red tape, etc, that determine the near future and the newly elected leader and the new political team are just passengers. The president, prime minister, make surface changes, but they cannot steer the great machine, only the foundation (those who were already there) can do that, and they are controlled and owned by the wealthy.

As long as the well intended politician rides the machine driven by an engine called Materialism then the results will never be for the best for the people, it will always be the best for the wealthy who live by the rules of industry and materialism.

The political soul can have the best intentions but they will never achieve great results while being with the wrong people and being confined by the restricted rules of materialism.
*
You may want great loving change, not it will never happen while you are backing up, supporting and even financing those who are part of the system that wants materialism and not love.

A Harvard University survey shows: Six out of every ten juvenile delinquents have fathers who drink to excess. Also many of the mothers drink to excess. Three out of four are permitted by parents to come and go as they please. Three out of five are from homes where their is discord between the parents. Seven out of ten are from homes where there is no group or family recreation. Four out of five have parents who take no interest in their children’s friends. Four out of five delinquent boys say their mother was indifferent to them. Three out of five delinquent boys say that their father was indifferent to them.

Obstacles Can’t Stop You, Obstacles can’t stop you Problems can’t stop you Most of all other people Can’t stop you The only one who stops you is Yourself.

Not getting what you want can be a blessing. – Yep, not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of good luck, because it forces you to reevaluate things, opening new doors to opportunities and information you would have otherwise overlooked.
