A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.

Feminism Failed Me
Feminism is a western ideology that has detroyed black families. The black man is king. This thing of women bashing and hating men thinking they are feminists are wrong. It’s diving our society. The wombman is can never be equal to men because we birth them. I choose to remain a faithful powerful black woman.
I choose to be a woman who respects and submits to her black man

A group of women were in a Bible Study on the book of Malachi. As they were studying chapter three, they came across verse three, which says: “He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.” This verse puzzled the women and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.

One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study. That week, this woman called up a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn’t mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver.

As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot then she thought again about the verse, that “He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.” She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered saying, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.

The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, “How do you know when the silver is fully refined?” He smiled at her and answered, “Oh, that’s easy – when I see my image in it.”

If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.

This ministered to me. I thought I should share.

TOUCHING SAD STORY
A boy was born to a couple after eleven
years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the
boy was the apple of their eyes.
When the boy was around two years old,
one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle
open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to
cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard.

The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen,
totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to
the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all.
It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for
adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed,
the mother hurried him to the hospital,
where he died. The mother was stunned.
She was terrified
how to face her husband.
When the distraught father came to the
hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife
and uttered just four words.
What do you think were the four words?
The husband just said
.
.
.
.
“I Love You Darling”

MORAL LESSON:
The husband’s totally unexpected reaction is
proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought
back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother.
Besides, if only he have taken time to keep
the bottle away, this will not have happened. No
point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child.
What she needed at that moment was consolation and
sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

NOTE:
Sometimes we spend time asking who is
responsible or who to blame, whether in a
relationship, in a job or with the people we know.
We miss out some warmth in human relationships,
in giving each other support. After all, shouldn’t
forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in
the world to do? Treasure what you have.
Don’t multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to
forgiveness. If everyone can look at life with this kind of
perspective, there would be much fewer problems
in the world.
