Shopping is NOT my friend. Anything I buy, I regret. I will take something off the shelf, carry it all through the store, and put it back before I leave. Impulsive I am NOT! I DO NOT like to spend money in anyway way, shape or form!
If you had a crystal ball that could tell you the truth about any one thing you wished to know about yourself, life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?
How will my kids turn out? Am I ruining them ... or will they actually become "something great" in their adult lives? This is truly my greatest concern from day to day.
How do you know when you're in love?
For me, it was that first time he kissed me and my legs went weak. I couldn't walk to my car to leave. That person becomes your greatest treasure and your world seems a more complete, happier place. When you're truly in love, nothing can take that away. You can find no greater explanation of love than this:
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
- 1 Corinthians 13
