The world's concept of love.
Love defined:
according the Websters dictionary: Strong affection or liking for somebody (2) a passionate affection of one person for another(3) the object of such affection
Bible dictionary love: Hebrew (ahavah), Greek (agape)
Presented in scripture as the very nature of God and the greatest of the Christian virtues.

"I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence."
-Frederick Douglass
" A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken" Proverbs 15:3
The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to make others so. Perfect happiness comes from sharing it with others....Today I am concerned with what I owe life...I remember not so long ago I was so unhappy because I thought life owed me something....
I came to the conclusion that life doesn't owe me anything..Happiness adds and multiples as we divide it with others. So today share by happiness. I am celebrating my 56th birthday. It is also year of my birth......I humbled and amazed that I am still here a spirit being mastering the human experience
I refuse to throw pearls to swines who will trample them....fable or not....He split time in two...the grave couldnot hold Him.. Man cannot explain Him...More books have been written about than anyone else. I leave you with this "It has been appointed once for man to die and after this the judgment... Have good day....
This is for the people who have the need to be a victim, I hope you will let go of the belief that to be loved and get attention you need to be a victim...I pray that God will surround you with people who love you when you own your power. I pray you will start having good days and enjoying them.ett
When I consider the people that I have allowed to enter into my life...
There are those who pull you down
There are those who keep you down
Then there are those you elevate you
I have gotten rid of the pull downs and the keep down.....
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death.
Many waters cannot quench love; river cannot wash it away.
Song of Solomon 8:6-7
"I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence"
Father, help me to guard my lips, because he guards his lips guards his life , but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.
For death and life are in the power of the tongue, and reckless words pierce like a sword , but the tongue of the wise brings healing. when words are many, sin is not absent, but he holds his tongue is wise.
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." 3 John 1:2.
God wants us to prosper spiritually
God wants us to prosper physically (good health)
God wants us to prosper financially
It is Saturday and I went to church now I am just relaxing and enjoying the cold weather here in NJ...Maybe I go to Altantic City until Monday...Have me a little retreat....where I can meditate and set some new goals for 2012....
Words are like seeds. What we plant will grow. If we sow destructive critical words, we will reap a life that is negative and critical...but if we sow words that are encouraging, uplifting the same will return to you.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks....Check your thoughts before you speak....
As a girl one of my favorite stories was of Little Red RidingHood
She was a little girl who was on her way to her grandmother's house, and a wolf disquised himself as grandma because he was planning to eat her..I remember how hard the wolf worked to make her believe that he was grandma in order to get her to come closer to him so that he could carry out his diabolical scheme.
As in this fairytale, there are wolves on this site who are parading themselves as sweet gentle souls who are trying to get close to me...And I know your only intention is to hurt me...
You know who you...Stay away I got your number....
