SAGGY APRIL 2012 EDITION, RELATIONSHIP ISOLATION

When I was at a support group, one of the questions someone asked was,  “What should a person do when someone who you're in relationship with, does something very hurtful or mean-spirited to you?” After a bit of discussion, there was one commenter who probably gave the best and most helpful advice. That person only said two words that were plain and simple, and although the language used was crude, it was also honest and helpful towards our situations. You can probably guess what that person said….

Recently while I was thinking about my online April Edition of SAGGY, which deals with Relationship Isolation, God gave me a special saying of my own; an idea based upon that comment, which I promptly shared with others. Here it is below...

IF SOMEONE DECIDES THEY DON'T LIKE YOU AND HAS DONE SOMETHING VERY TERRIBLE TO YOU,

JUST SAY "F... 'EM"

BUT THE SPIRITUAL SENSE OF THE WORD IS DIFFERENT.

SO WHEN YOU SAY, "F... 'EM", THEN SAY, FORGIVE THEM...

I THINK JUST BY SAYING THAT IS VERY POWERFUL (AND AS A SIDE BONUS, HELPS TO RELIEVE THE STRESS OF THE SITUATION).

For the month of April, we'll tackle relationship isolation, what it is, it's root causes, the plus side, the not so good side, and what to do about it.

See you soon, hopefully, and tell a friend,

In Him,

Al

HAVE YOU BEEN POISONED?

How you can tell when you’ve been poisoned . Your actions and attitudes are toxic ! Toxic thoughts lead to toxic actions. Toxic thinking poisons others around us. Eventually toxic thinking leads to death (dreams). Watch out that the toxics around you don’t get inside you . How do you counteract toxicity? Speaking, thinking and acting positive activates life in you, around you, and gives life (energy) to others.

My experience at PODD for Men’s Fellowship

Being at the PODD felt like being at home, but I’m all grown up now . Don’t get me wrong. I loved the praise and worship music team. They really brought us into the presence of God. I loved rejoining with my brothers in Christ. It was good greeting my former pastor and friend. It’s felt good remembering all of the good times, and the not so good times we had there. But I’m not supposed to remain there. Now I belong to a new church, and a new body of believers. Eventually, I had to leave for my new home , and be with my new family .

Dealing with marital differences

I find the more I talk to people, the more they tell me the number one thing that is frustrating them in marriage, they don’t understand their spouse . Men don’t understand women, women don’t understand men. Being around women most of the time has given me some insight on how they think, how they feel, and how they react to situations. Guess what guys? God made them different from us. But thank God, He gives us the blueprint to help us, the Bible. My suggestion is this: Whenever you feel really frustrated or anxious about your wife’s behavior and her attitude, take your Bible and go into your prayer closet. Pray this prayer, “Father God, please change ME to deal with my wife in a way that honors you”. Right now, I probably lost 99% of you with that prayer. I know you would rather be like James and John and ask the Lord to rain down fire on your wife’s head. Maybe then she would submit herself to your leadership. But trust me on this. If you are truly seeking God’s will for your life, y...
