The Magic of a Happy Home & Its Blessing

Family Fun
Okay, so for my viewers we loved carol of the bells but I didn't get to do my rendition. However, there is another song that rings true in the spirit of love and happiness and it is a Happy Home. I capitalized "Happy Home" on purpose because it is so important. When parents connect with their children in a healthy way its like magic. It really does create a special unity and bond for generations to come if the relationships are nurtured and maintained.

However, if a parent does not hear the heart of a child then there's such a discord that makes lack of harmony unavoidable. Now how do I know, well I have a sibling several years younger and I know what it's like to have discord in the home. Siblings argue and fight at times much to our parents chagrin. However, I have a lot of good memories with my sibling that we can share to this day. Guess what? We overcome discord by focusing on what we have in common, what we can agree on, traditions worth keeping, and values and passions worth preserving and maintaining. We want the same  blessing and success for my nephew. Thus several reasons for working toward happiness and making sure the family nucleus is strong. The same concepts and applications work for a lot of families and could hold true for yours as well.

The one key ingredient is that no one could destroy the bond. That holds true today. So I can just mention something that seemingly is unimportant to everyone else but is a moment of truth or laughter for us. It is part of the language of family culture we've preserved. These small but important tools of family communication are part of family survival- often "imparted " or learned throughout the years

Children are not always as mature as adults and we have to groom them to be so. We have to avoid provoking them so that they trust us. We have to communicate that you're life, your spirit and your soul is safe in my care and in this family. When you feel valued in your family, you treasure those feelings and the word family communicates a certain meaning and shared of importance in your life. I had that growing up and it's a vital to how I'll rear my children.


Love, laughter, bonding, and fun, is the magic of a Happy Home and the Blessing thereof. Even in distance, the long phone conversations and anticipation of seeing each other at the holidays or during the year is so important. Take heart and love into the summer and pray for "faith in standing" while the lessons are learned. If you're like me sometimes you have those Judy Blume Moments. Are you There God it's me... and we need to achieve some things in the family and I'm asking for you to show up quick, fast and in a hurry and give me grace to smile and laugh through it all.

                               
Yes, family life can be much like this water ride...splashy!
 But its worth in the end

Be protective of your children's lair if you will. Make sure that you're voice is the one they know represents love. My grandmother's favorite place of discussion was the kitchen table. We did a lot of talking about everything. It was the best thing ever. She was a fierce protector of our relationship and our family and I can't thank her enough. If that rings true for you then you know what I mean. If by chance such as fallen out of your grasp-it's not to late to start and make your family a happy home and a place of blessing and rest for your children.

A Nice Breeze and a Bit of Perspective

As I stated yesterday I went for a walk and enjoyable it was. It was windy and I loved it. 70 degrees and a breeze didn't make for a bad time outdoors at all. Needless to say it brought yesterday's earlier agitation (read totally perturbed) to a simmer and provided an interesting perspective. I relished the blowing air and thought about my time in college. It was great and I got through it with out too much drama or incident (with the exception of a few memorables, which is for another day another post). That being said, I didn't drink, smoke or experiment with drugs. I don't say that as some type of badge of honor because that's not the case at all. But it was apparent, that somewhere along the way I truly believed what my grandparents told me growing up about character, honor, and integrity. However, the older I get I've grown wary or maybe even cynical at what maybe appears to be watered-down standards we've immersed ourselves in society. Notice I say ...

Beautiful

Isn’t it funny how the innocent things make for lasting memories? That’s when I’m thankful that a little reflection is good on days like today. Not feeling the best and then you remember something that is altogether sweet. Like how sometimes you take, some times you give, but oh how special it is when together we create something hilariously indescribable…sometimes the unexpected happens and you remember just how special it was. And out of it comes something wonderfully funny, unbelievable and yes beautiful. And just how beautiful it is depends on you. So maybe today isn’t that day for you. But when that day or should I say night comes, I don’t know about you, but I plan on making it beautiful. Don’t know what I mean, listen to the link below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKbsjGol-TY Quote of the Day Often times we forget that part of being human is being spiritually grounded, finding your purpose, developing who you are, lending yourself to good works and yes loving and being in...

Thought For The Day

Boldness, is not abrasive, it’s fearless but not abrasive. It’s not about being scared or the absence of concern it’s about having the inner strength to make secure. Men wonder how a woman knows that something is wrong, extremely off- kilter. It’s when you don’t reach out your hand. It’s not about romance it’s about what you know you supply. When you don’t express the words to make it right, the right you know God expects of you. It sends a startling message that either your inner core is troubled or something is terribly wrong. This is not the case for everyone. It’s for those who want to impact, press in and touch the spirit of others. It’s for those bold souls who profess an uncommon love. There’s nothing sadder than the tears of a clown but there’s nothing more tragic than great strength without inner beauty. When you forget to make it right that becomes the building block or foundation of your legacy. So men you want to give a lasting gift this season… give her the gift of alway...
