| Love |
I found several great
table mats for my table. I thought about the words that were on them, “live, love, and laugh.” I believe the greatest of these is
“Love.”
1. Love
A.
Chemistry
Have you heard your child say? “He’s so fine.” “ I feel so good when I am with him.” “I get goose bumps just being near him.” Is it love or lust? Lust stirs up feelings and emotions. When dating ,these emotions may get stirred up. Sometime your child might say,“I am so attracted to John.” “The chemistry is definitely there.” Think about it. Is it love or lust? It might just be better to date in groups when your child is of dating age.

Feelings
Feelings and emotions change. You cannot rely on them. When young people are dating, it is important to date in groups, rather than alone It gives the young person a chance to see how their date adapts to certain situations. It allows others in the group to observe the character of the date. Also, others in the group may see and observe things that the young person might not see.

NOTE:
Do you know of anyone that is looking for love in all the wrong
places?

My Recollection
I
recall a friend that acknowledged he came from a loving and
supportive family, but he chose to go down the path of using drugs.
Now when he became drug
free he was compelled to show his friends there was a better way of
life because so many had followed him down that narrow path. He also
shared with me it was not enough to tell people, but to show them by
his actions.
Also, I know that my friend had accepted Jesus Christ as his personal
Savior. God is waiting on you. Hebrew 13:5 He will never leave you,
nor forsake you. The prescription for love is in the Bible.
GOD is LOVE
GOD is LOVE
1 Corinthians 13: 13
tells about love and now these three
remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Gives a great description of what love is and what love is not.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not
self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. I
have not arrived and perfected all that love is, but I am striving
towards that.
I believe the
greatest love is found in Johns 3:16 For God so loved the world that
he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not
perish but have eternal life. This is one of the greatest gifts.
2. Live
Are you enjoying
your life? Maybe it is not exactly what you expected it to be, but
are you controlling the things that you have control over such as
what you eat or how you balance your time? You know everyone has
been given 24 hours in a day. What are you doing with yours? It
is your choice.
Did you know that
tea is actually good for you?

3. Laugh
Did you know that
laughing is one of the best medicines that there is? Proverbs 17:22.
A Cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the
bones.
Laughing
is free and it does not cost any money. Besides the fact that
this is mentioned in the Bible, when you laugh, it just gives you a
good feeling. Have you ever observed how carefree children are
about
laughing and playing? They will laugh at almost anything. Children
are bombarded in our society by so many negatives, they need to be
able to laugh about some things. I have observed how some children
are able to make others laugh. Some like telling jokes and some just
are naturally funny. According to WebMd, studies have shown
that humor may raise the level of infection-fighting antibodies in
the body and boost the levels of the immune cells. Sometimes just
laughing with your children about something you all find amusing.
Possibly a funny commercial, picture,
or even a joke, may be something you and your children find to laugh
about throughout your day.
Regardless to how
bad you may feel about your circumstances in life, look around you
and find something to laugh about today, even if you have to watch a
comedy or movie. Have a good laugh. I know that I had a
good laugh today.
