There is much disfunction within members of my family.
But, I am seeing things changing for the better slowly.
But the majority of that work is being done where I'd never have expected needed repaired by Jesus
There's much going on and I believe your prayers are a significant part of that. Thank you very much
I want the very best for my youngest daughter, but for now that seems so far away.
But God is able.
Those of you considering getting married, think long and hard about your choice. A bad choice due the lust of the flesh or whatever drew you to that person, you say "I do", there should be no going back.
Choosing a mate aught not be like choosing the color of a new chair or buying a new house.
Like it or not, you WILL have trouble on the flesh, as Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 7.28.
Then along comes one of life's tragedies. If we fail to meet our spouse's reasonable expectation of respect for us or we betray our spouse, if your marriage was not built on solid rock, you may end up living with far less than He had prepared for you.
Every effort you take to choose the right partner, it all comes down to who God has chosen for your spouse and the only way to find that out is to get closer to Jesus Christ and eventually you will know.
I know I'm most likely sounding like a fool rambling on.But if I could just prevent one person from living with far less than what He had prepared for then, then Praise the Lord!
By telling you what I chose to do, knowing it was wrong 56 years ago.
Now my son and daughters are paying a price for my sin. Their pain brings me pain. You won't really know that until you have children. It hurts terribly to watch one of your kids hurt,knowing there's little you can do.
Their marriages falling apart.
Their lives lived with less than what God wanted for them.
He may fix yours.
Then again, He may choose not to bless you with a happy life.
But why settle for less than what He wants for you?
Take your time looking. Spend time getting to know one another.
Believe me, after the first year many things your spouse says or does that you think are cute become annoying.
An old man I once worked near told me one day as we were discussing marriage " You can smell all the flowers you want , but you can only pick one.
If you are still single and it is His will for you to marry, He made us and you know if you stay close to Him, He'll reveal the very best for you.
