I cannot believe it has been since August 13 that I have blogged! Time certainly has a way of getting away from us. We can so easily lose track of time.
So - this thought goes extremely well with this entry!
This is taken from "Now You're Speaking My Language" by Gary Chapman:
"When a couple recognizes more
distance than intimacy,
more separateness than togetherness,
more selfishness than love,
and thus....
more aloneness than unity,
they are at a crossroads,
A decision has to be made;
continue the road of separateness and aloneness,
OR
regain the ground that has been lost
AND
conquer the ground that was never theirs.
THIS IS CALLED COMMITMENT."
To me, it is also called TRANSFORMATION. We have the choice to transform bad habits into habits that are "life habits." Choices to make time for one another, to examine our relationships, to decide that you will grow a strong relationship.. for each other, for those "watching," for your loved ones.
Listen beloved ones, when we make the choice to ignore caring for our relationships, we will effect others..... and ourselves...... Ignorance never builds a relationship!
Gary Chapman talks about the transformation of the inner man so you can gain a measure of freedom from self-centeredness and experience something.....something of the love and joy... that comes from connecting with your mate.
.....an example of the abounding love of Christ.....
So - pay attention to the signs...pay attention to your relationships - you will be blessed, I promise.
How true, Kathy! It is all about choices!! We have to choose to make the time for those we love!!
