When I was a kid, I didn't have a laptop, iPod, Blackberry, PS3, Wifi or iPads. I played outside with friends, bruised my knees, made up stories and played hide and seek. I ate what my mom made. I would think twice before I said "no" to my parents. Life wasn't hard, it was good & I survived. Kids these days are spoiled. Re-post this if you appreciate the way you were raised. I think we were happier kids.
Probably the most valuable post I’ll ever reblog. Ever.
In a relationship, married or not... You should read this.
Marriage.
“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.
Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?
MESSAGE FROM GOD
Every day God thinks of you [Psalm 68:19]. Every hour God looks after you [2 Thes. 3:3]. Every minute God cares for you [1 Peter 5:7]. Because every second He loves you [Jeremiah 31:3]
“‘Some of you out there have made some decisions recently to leave somebody that you love, thought loved you, thinks still loves you, and you still can’t find a way to work it out. And if you did it three days ago then you’re still on the straight and now. But if you did it three weeks ago it’s getting tough. It’s getting tough to hold on ‘cause those dreams are coming in, yeah. Things happen, you want to tell the other person about, you know what I’m talking about? Yeah, then you start getting the dreams where they’re cool. You wake up like ‘Oh, I think they’re actually cool.’ Nah, that’s just dreams messing with you, all right. So, a lot of people here are trying to stick to their guns. But now it’s getting harder and harder not to write back. ‘Cause when you resist, they persist. That’s just how it goes, right? But I’m here to tell you that you are not psychotic. You are not crazy, you’re just lonely, and loneliness is a hell of a drug. Loneliness is a hell of a drug. So I’m here to take over your brain for a moment if that’s how you actually feel and remind you; do not have contact. Do not have contact, I don’t care how lonely you get. Loneliness is part of it, right? You’ll be lonely, but I know you’ll be OK. You’ll be lonely, but I know you’ll be okey, ‘cause good love is on the way. So when that Blackberry goes off, or that iPhone goes ‘brrrfff brrrfff’ and it is who you think it is; turn it over and go back to bed, and sing yourself a little lullaby.”
