Hey there little blue striped guy!

Note to self:
Healthy, well adjusted people don’t set out to hurt other people.

Read that again if you need to.

Healthy, well adjusted people don’t hurl insults at others.

They don’t blame other people for the issues in their life.

They don’t set out to cause harm and pain.

Healthy, well adjusted people show empathy.

Damaged and angry people don’t.

Healthy, well adjusted people are happy for others. Know the importance of having a circle of support around them. They know that life is hard and people screw up but they show grace and have a heart of forgiveness.

Damaged and angry people project. They look for fights and reasons to be offended and put out. Everything is a conflict and they don’t see any redeeming qualities. Jealousy clouds their judgement.

Listen to me.

You’ll never win against them. Being a broker of peace to dysfunctional people will do nothing but deplete your energy and break your heart. SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!

You’re not dealing with logical people.

You’re dealing with their unresolved trauma, addictions, excuses and regrets.

My pastor said this today and it struck me so profoundly. “Where God isn’t, love isn’t.”

Stop looking for logic from illogical people.

Healthy resolution from people who turn to the bottle or drugs or any other damaging coping mechanisms.

We’re called to be understanding, gracious, forgiving and kind.

We’re also given discernment to know when to walk away and not be a doormat for bad behavior and abuse.

Pray for them.

Love them from afar.

Not everyone deserves a seat at your table.

Surround yourself with people who are loving, forgiving, who pray for you, who speak life into you, challenge you lovingly and hold you accountable.

Not everyone is for you.

Where God is, love is.

Promise 💗

Wise words Daddio💃🕺

Why do we do what we do? What drives us to share all the amazing events, people, and places we enjoy. Experiencing life, and sucking the marrow from it is the reason. Living for the future is as silly as living for the past. Today is all we have, and the moment is the only guarantee in life. If you aren't enjoying the breath you just took and the moments that made up the day... change it.

A private moment
Singularly shared by two people in love
Paving the road to an intimate marriage
Heartfelt emotional intense
As if they were the only two
Setting a precedent
Prioritizing the commitment
Cementing the bond
Immersed in the moment as if time stood still
Never more beautiful than the day she was born
The flower crown she adorns
She listens intently hanging on his words
Mutual adoration and respect are abundantly clear
Patient anticipation of the vows they will share
No missed detail on spreadsheets with schedules
This moment is all that matters now
Take a breath
The foundation is solid
The ying and yang precise
This moment to special not to capture on film
This intimate moment if shared would reduce it as ordinary
I turned away quickly recognizing the gravity of this moment
A private moment

Faith Hope & Love
In the eyes of the bride
In the smile on the groom
Faith in God Faith in each other
The pure definition of Hope
Unconditional Love defined
Hope in the life they will build
The children they may have
The adventures ahead
Faith in the stability of a rock solid relationship and Love that supports it
Faith Hope and Love
A necklace I wore in my youth
A cross, an anchor and a heart
Oblivious that it would enlighten my life today❤️
