                 What is a Healthy Relationship?

When you can communicate openly and honestly without the fear of being judged, used, made fun of, or being beaten for expressing your thoughts or concerns.
                     Secure that you are a friend.

When there is an undemanding exchange of affection, kindness, caring, undestanding, equality and respect.

When partners feel secure about each other, there is no need to feel jealous, overly possesive or controlling.

WHen there is freedom and support to have your own ideas, interest and friendships.

When partners can share innermost feelings, dreams fantasies, thoughts, failures and success without fear or
                              anxiety.

When each of you is free to be yourself
Laugh with your partner, never laugh at them
Cry with your partner, not because of you.

When you share the same priorities about:
How major or minor decisions will be made
How and when to make love, not just to have sex, activities, recreations and interests that both can respect and accept qualities you like in each other, in people or and friendship.

Open communication and respect for others opinions and decisions is the key to a healthy relationship.

If you think really hard I bet you have many more to add to this list, Good luck and have a wonderful, safe everlasting
                                   relationship!

Have You Met the Tate Family?

You may have heard of the Tate family.
They're into every organization.
There is Dictate who wants to run everything.
Rotate who always tries to change things.
Agitate who stirs up trouble whenever possible
with a helping hand from Irritate.
Devastate who loves to interrupt and Potentate
who wants to be a Big Shot

Everytime new ideas are suggested its Hesitate,
and Vegetate who are there to say they can't possibly
work and Imitate who would rather
copy other organizations then try something new.

Thank goodness for Facilitate, Cogitate and
Mediate, they got everyone pulling together.

THE TIME IS NOW

If you are ever going to love me,
Love me now, while I can know
The sweet and tender feelings
Which from true affection flow.

Love me now
While I am living.

Do not wait until I'm gone
And then have it chiseled in marble
Sweet words on ice-cold stone.

If you have tender thoughts of me
Please tell me now.

If you wait until I am sleeping
Never to awaken
There will be death between us
And I won't hear you then.

So, if you love me, even a little bit
Let me know it while I am living
So I can treasure it.

AFFIRMATION PEACE WITHIN

May today there be peace
may you trust your highest power
that you are exactly where you are
meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite
possibilities that are born of faith.

May you use those gifts that you
have received, and pass on the love
that has been given to you.

May you be content knowing you
are a child of a God.

Let this presence settle into your
bones, and allow your soul the
freedom to sing, dance and to bask in the sun.

It is there for each and every one of you.

WHAT IF?

What if...?
God couldn't take the time to Bless us today because
we could not take the time to thank Him yesterday...

What if...?
God decided to stop leading us tomorrow
Because we didn't follow Him today...

What if...?
God didn't walk with us today because we failed to
recognize it as His day...

What if....?
We never saw another flower bloom because
we grumbled when God sent the rain...

What if...?
God stopped loving and caring for us because
we failed to love and care for others...

What If...?
God took away his message because we failed
to listen to His messenger...

What if...?
God would not hear us today because
we would not listen to Him yesterday...

What if...?
God answered our prayers the way we answer
His call to service...

What if...?

If being a child is about learning to live, being an adult is about trying to avoid death. Life is our most precious gift.
Therefore, live; don't just exist!"
