The ways in which we love.

My dad wasn't one for kisses and cuddles and 'I love you' but I knew my dad loved me. When he would playfully tease me, I knew he loved me. When he played tricks on me, I knew he loved me, when I could make him laugh I felt loved.
I was reminded of the 5 love languages as I thought about my dad and how he showed his love, not by giving hugs or telling me he loved me, or by giving gifts but he showed his love to me through humour.
My dad unknowingly taught me that people show their love in many different ways and whats more is that I felt loved by the way he showed his love for me.

The things that matter.

We are so blind to what God has put in front of us, so distracted by the materialism of this world and by our own shallow existence that we have become more concerned by our own vanity and how we look and our outwardly appearance. Our lives are mostly centred around living a glamourous lifestyle, centred around fame, money and possessions, centred around sex and relationships, centred around reputation.

Dark days!

Sometimes we think the Lord will never bless us. We have lost hope, have given up, are stuck in a rut and can't or won't move forward and given up even trying. Some of us give up on our relationships, give up trying to make things right, give up on having a better life. We all have dark days, days when we just can't seem to get anything right, we all suffer from broken hearts, loss, go through some really difficult times in our lives but it's important to struggle on and fight, to never crumble but to be strong and remain in christ. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. We may choose not to notice that God is blessing our lives because it's easier to live like there is no hope, it's easier to put the blame onto others, blame society for our failings so that we don't have to look to ourselves to see how bad things are. We choose to deny the good things, we choose to ignore the positives, we choose to be blind to Gods...
