If someone mentioned the phrase "three little word

If someone mentioned the phrase "three little words" what would your mind conjure up? So many of the most significant messages that people deliver to one another often come in just three words. When spoken or conveyed, those statements have the power to forge new friendships, deepen old ones and restore relationships that have cooled. The following three word phrases can enrich every relationship every bit as much as the most obvious one.

I am here. Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and to us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and spiritually.

I miss you. Perhaps more friendships could be salvaged and strengthened if people simply and sincerely said to each other, "I miss you." This powerful affirmation tells others that they are wanted, needed, desired and loved.

I respect you. Respect is another way of showing love. Respect conveys the feeling that another person is a true equal. It is a powerful way to affirm the importance of a relationship.

You are right. This phrase is highly effective in diffusing an argument and restoring frayed emotions and, of course, the flipside of "you are right" is the humility of admitting "I am wrong."

Please forgive me. Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults and failures. A person should never be ashamed to own up that they have been in the wrong, which is saying in other words that they are wiser today than they were yesterday.

I thank you. Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the companionship of good, close friends are those who don't take daily courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is constricted often do not have attitude.

Count on me. "A friend is one who walks in when others walk out." Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship; it is the emotional glue that bonds people. When troubles come, a good friend is there saying "you can count on me."

Let me help. The best of friends see a need and try to fill it. When they spot a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked they pitch in and help.

I understand you. People become closer and enjoy each other more if they feel that the other person accept and understands them. Letting other people know in so many little ways that you understand them is one of the most powerful tools for strengthening a relationship.

Go for it. Some of your friends may have dreams and plans that may seem beyond reach. Support them and rather than urging them to conform, encourage their uniqueness. Everyone has dreams that no one else has.

I love you. Of course three little words that you were probably expecting to see first in this list have to be reserved for someone very special in our lives. So often God speaks to us in messages of three words and, even if our relationship with him is not as close as it should be at times, we can still be reassured that no matter when we turn to him, he will always say to us:

I forgive you, beer
I love you.heart1
You are mine, hug
take my hand, handshake
Go in peace. pointing

This week use whatever three little words are required to restore and deepen relationships with the important people in your life.hug

In a Parallel Universe Where Women have the Alpha

In a Parallel Universe Where Women have the Alpha Role
I could go shopping with all my "boy friends" spending hours at the Hardware shops and Tool stores. We would even doo lunch. We would check out all the safety gear and overalls and oh! the work boots!!! I could see a Compound Sliding Mitre Saw marked down from eleven hundred dollars to seven hundred dollars and just buy it there and then. I could come home and with absolute delight tell my wife with great excitement in my voice and a beaming smile how I just saved four hundred dollars and expect her to share my excitement?

THE BIKER & GOD

A biker was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, God said, "Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."

The biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want."

God said, "It is disappointing that your request is so blatantly selfish and materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific... The concrete and steel it would take... It will nearly exhaust several of the planet's natural resources. I can do it, of course, but it is hard for me to justify using so many of Earth's much-needed resources for such a task. Take a little more time and think of something that would honor and glorify me."

The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "God, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy."

God replied, "So, do you want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

An Old Farmer

An old farmer had owned a large farm for several years.

He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nice, picnic tables, horseshoe courts, basketball court, etc.

The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over.

As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny dipping in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end of the pond.

One of the women shouted to him, 'We're not coming out until you leave!'

The old man replied, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim or make you get out of the pond naked.

I only came to feed the alligator'.

Philosophical Sympathy vs. Empirical Faith

Philosophical Sympathy vs. Empirical Faith
Since joining this website I have had numerous requests from absolutely wonderful and beautiful ladies, each asking if they could get to know me better. Each one of these ladies immediately referred to finding their; “true love’, “soul mate”, lover and ultimately their husband. Why me?
You see we have been matched, based on our personality profiles, life and love styles, dreams, goals, hobbies and interests etc. Plus we must have been physically appealing, (at least one hopes) to the other party.
What I have found however is that most of these enquiries did not match the criteria in My Ideal Partner information. In spite of clearly stating that I needed a Christian believer, each of these ladies explained that they were sympathetic to the Christian Philosophy, which brings me to the reason as to why I needed to write this blog.
As a practicing Christian I have made an informed choice to move from Philosophical sympathy (i.e. from simply agreeing with or approving of a set of values and principles to live by) to Empirical Faith. Empirical faith is experiential. I took a course of action. I believed the Gospel that told me that Jesus is the Son of God and I chose to be baptised in to the Christian faith which resulted in an undeniable experience.
This is what I did; prior to being baptised I was asked a series of questions
To which the reply is always "I renounce them":
Do you renounce Satan and all the spiritual forces of wickedness that rebel against God?
Do you renounce the evil powers of this world which corrupt and destroy the creatures of God?
Do you renounce all sinful desires that draw you from the love of God?
The second half of the query is asked, to which the reply is always "I do":
Do you turn to Jesus Christ and accept him as your Saviour?
Do you put your whole trust in his grace and love?
Do you promise to follow and obey him as your Lord?
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
I was then baptised. I know that in that moment something supernatural had occurred within me. It was tangible yet esoteric at the same time. I know that God entered in to my physical being that day, God the Father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit. I have been in a personal relationship with Him from that time forward.
This is an undeniable truth in my life. I walk with Him and talk with Him throughout my day. He leads me, guides me, comforts, encourages and at times chastises me. He is my Father and my friend. Don’t worry; I’m still an ordinary, practical everyday bloke. My head is not off in the clouds. My feet are planted firmly on the ground. The difference is in my knowing Him, not just knowing of Him. I need a partner who has the same experiential relationship with our Father God as I do. The three of us together is the essential ingredient for a successful relationship.
I am flattered and honoured that ladies, you consider me worthy of your hopes and trust for a life partner. However to avoid disappointment or seeming rejection, please understand as I wrote in my introduction. I am looking for a Body, Soul & Spirit Mate, not just a soul mate. I sincerely wish for all of us that are searching for a life partner, every success and every good thing.
Wayne
