When You Let People Put You Up

Children Are Not Casual Guests In Our Home. They Have Been Loaned To Us Temporarily For The Purpose Of Loving Them And Instilling A Foundation Of Values On Which Their Future Lives Will Be Built.

The Lord Doesn't Always Remove The Sources Of Stress In Our Lives...but He's Always There And Cares For Us. We Can Feel His Arms Around Us On The Darkest Night.

It Will Always Hurt To Be Laughed At, Snubbed, Ignored Or Attacked By Others. But I Would Remind You That The Human Personality Grows Through Adversity, Provided It Is Not Crushed In The Process.

Love Is Not Simply A Feeling Of Romantic Excitement; It Is More Than A Desire To Marry A Potential Partner; It Goes Beyond Intense Sexual Attraction; It Exceeds The Thrill At Having "captured" A Highly Desirable Social Prize. Real Love Is An Expression Of The Deepest Appreciation For Another Human Being; It Is Awareness Of His Or Her Needs And Longings- Past, Present And Future. It Is Unselfish, Giving And Caring.

Real Crying Usually Lasts Two Minutes Or Less, But May Continue For Five. After That Point, The Child Is Merely Complaining... I Would Require Him To Stop The Protest Crying, Usually By Offering Him A Little More Of Whatever Caused The Original Tears.
