Love is something that has to cultivated, and thats what we try to do here in our home. We sit down to have meals together, we have our devotionals, and most important we still go out on dates :)

So if you are married what do you do to cultivate that love?
P.S the concept of this blog was taken from 4 of us blog.

Pay it forward!

Love is a beautiful thing! The true beauty of a person lies in the capacity of that person´s ablility to love!
Those two sentences above I wrote as a comment on my friend´s blog ( 4 of us) and I just wanted to share it here on my blog because the more I think about it the more I see the truth in those words.

Afterthought...
One is only as good as one tries to be,
One is only loved as much as he loves,
One only receives as much as he gives (--> and this doesnt mean you will receive from the person you gave it could be the same person, but as it happens you will most likely receive from others)

If only we could love eachother, truly love without any taints... I can only imagine a world where its people honestly loved one another. That´s why in Matthew 22:39 Jesus says that the second greatest commandment is: " Love your neighbor as yourself." It´s easy to love those who love us....

One of my favorite movies is Pay it forward, its not really about love as much as it is
about doing good deeds for total strangers just cause!
So let´s pay it forward!  This is what I ask of everyone this week do a good deed and then
comment here about it :) Tomorrow I´ll do it and then comment here to tell you how it went! It should be fun :)

And the twitching continues....

For over a month now my left eye has been twitching and it has now come to a point
where i just want to rip it out of my face!!!! I can´t stand it anymore, i have done some research as to why
this would happen and this is a list of probable causes:

• Stress
• Tiredness
• Eye strain
• Caffeine
• Alcohol
• Dry eyes
• Nutritional imbalances
• Allergies

So i have narrowed down to 5 possibilities, out of 8 thats not much help! If you are wondering the
first 5 are the ones i have pinned down as the probable cause.
Now this is some things i have been told to do by my some buddies at FB...

     * Hit my head on something as hard as i can
     *Take a nice long bubble bath while drinking some wine
     *Sleep and try not to worry so much

When i first read advice #1 I LOL but now that the twitching hasnt gone away and I´m very close to ripping right out altogether I´m finally giving it some thought...and NO I´m not LOL anymore.
When I read advice #2 I was delighted, who wouldnt enjoy a nice long bubble bath?? wine too?! just icing on the cake! Problem with that is that I don´t have a bath tub....so I thought maybe if I take a plastic chair and put under the shower and just sit there?! Like a waterfall?? while holding my glass of wine away from my body so that the waterfall doesn´t literally fall in my glass...haha I know
So when I read my last advice I was like "yea, sleep! I love to sleep" then I remembered I have 2 kids at home who likes to wake up early, so that went out the window as well. As for not worring all I gotta say is HAHA, I wish!

Anywhoos now you see why I´m very close to hitting something against my head very HARD indeed. Its either that or ripping it out!

A simple Cup

So I´ve decided to look at the bright side of things....
Look at the cup half full kinda of thing.
But I seem to be going through some withdrawals.
Yesterday when i got a phone call from a friend
asking me if i could watch her kid overnight,
(cup half full)---> instead of thinking yea it will b good cuz when i need it she will do the same for me,
(cup half empty)--->I tought oh man there goes my peace..
(cup half full)--->Now her kid is an awesome very sweet kid as are my kids
(cup half empty)---> but when u put 3 sweet kids together things just seem to happen unexpectedly.
(cup haf empty)--->And when I arrived home and all 3 were still unbathed i thought geez here i go, Im gonna have to help all of them bathe and put pjs on,
(cup half full)---> what i should have thought was, so nice to see them all happy and  healthy with all their homeworks done.
(cup half empty)--->So after they were in their pjs I turned the TV on so they could quietly watch a movie only to find out that the cable was out, so then i thought crap i cant believe my lack of luck
(cup half full)--->and what i should have thought was great I´ll just read to them spend some quality time and then put them to bed...and at least we still have the internet...lol
So i guess this quest on becoming a cup half full kinda of gal will be more difficult than I had imagined!!!

Don´t I wish!
