God Made Moms To Teach Their Children....The Importance of Expressing Your Feelings.
It's importance to encourage our young children, old children, husbands, boyfriends, family members, friends, and coworkers to express what their really feeling. There is always an appropriate time and place for that expressing but the need is always there - that's called creating a balance for the one expressing the feelings and for the one hearing it. We should not leave room for assumptions because most likely "the assumption", your assumption is wrong. We live and function in a society where we behave as robots/robotics and then when we do see those expressions of true feelings we see "transformers". To keep it short, men and women miss out on love and being loved...they didn't express their true feelings. Men and women get abused,used, and neglected...they didn't express their true feelings. Children have suffered abuse and neglect...they couldn't express true feelings. We miss out on promotions and opportunities...we don't express our true feelings.
If you love him or her...express it.
If you don't like it....express it.
If your angry...express it.
If your sad...express it.
If you don't trust or believe what's being said....express it.
If you want or need to leave...express it.
If you want it...express it.
If you don't know what or how to feel...still express it.
Be honest with yourself first by letting others know what you're really feeling, you'll be surprised by the response you receive. I am 41 years old and I'm still learning to express myself. Think about if I were taught as a child to express myself :).

Some Afternoon Humor
Two Little Boys.
Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew all about it.
If any mischief occurred in their town, the two boys were probably involved.
The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, 'Do you know where God is, son?'The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, 'Where is God?' Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, 'Where is God?' The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.
When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, 'What happened?'
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, 'We are in BIG trouble this time,'
(I just LOVE reading this next line again and again :)
'GOD is missing, and they think we did it!

God Made Moms To Teach Their Children...Every Person or Household Is Not The Same.
Ladies, having three kids that range in the ages of 7 to 22 years, I've gone through years of hearing that "such and such can", "such and such has this or that", "that's not fair", "why can't I" and on,on. Anyway maybe if kids are taught early that every person/household is not the same we would not have as many kids or adults, pardon my use of the cliche'- "trying to keep up with the Jones(s)". I got to tell you I was one of those kids and I definitely turned into one of those adults.(Being honest with self is therapeutic) Learning early on that every person/household is different, would make understanding that every mom, dad, husband, wife, sister, brother, teacher, salary, house, job, car, boss, bank account and so on is not going to be exactly like yours. Break the trendy cycle of keeping up with the Jones(s) by sharing with your kids today that every person/household is unique,not every person or household is the same nor are they required to be the same. What works for you or your household my not work for your friend's or neighbor's household. We all have seen, read, or heard the saying, " that there will always be someone smarter, someone that looks better, cooks better, cleans better, speaks better, writes better, has the husband that does more around the house or with the kids, makes more money, lives in the bigger house, drives the nicer car, kids do better in school or even behave better", it may all be true or it could just be your perception. Just do you! Just be you! Just do your best in being and enjoying who and what God created and blessed you to be.
Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice. ~Delphine
Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Philippians 4:6-9 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Good Read of The Month
The first rule is, always live well below your means. The last rule is, choose your occupation wisely. You'll have to buy the book to find out the other five. It's only fair. The authors' conclusions are commonsensical. But, as they point out, their prescription often flies in the face of what we think wealthy people should do. There are no pop stars or athletes in this book, but plenty of wall-board manufacturers--particularly ones who take cheap, infrequent vacations! Stanley and Danko mercilessly show how wealth takes sacrifice, discipline, and hard work, qualities that are positively discouraged by our high-consumption society. "You aren't what you drive," admonish the authors. Somewhere, Benjamin Franklin is smiling. --
