We need to teach our daughters to distinguish between a man who:
Flatters her and a man who compliments her
A man who – spends money on her and a man who invests in her, a man who – views her as property and a man who views her properly
A man who – lusts after her and a man who loves her.
A man who – believes he is God’s gift to women and a man who remembers that a woman is a gift to man
– Author Unknown.
We need to teach our daughters that innocence is something to want, that love is a powerful fuel to a happier life, to look forward to having a new family, and that gentleness does not mean that she is weak, it means that she is kind and someone worth knowing and loving.
We need to teach our daughter to love herself so she will have the confidence to deal with life and know how to enjoy it as the years progress. We need to listen to our daughters because they have something to say, they are people too and need our love and respect too. Just like sons, daughters are treasures to bless our lives.
Remember that the more time that you put into something with love, that is what you will get back – your son or daughters love and friiendship. And it will come back to you in an adult friendship that is very special. They will be there for you as you were for them.

When a baby is being born in the natural way, the mother and child share the struggle. And in this struggle they become closer spiritually, because together they fought, felt pain, struggled, to bring the child life.
The child gave the mother, motherhood.
The mother gave the child its first obstacle, its first challenge, and showed the child that love is fighting together for the same cause.
The mother shows the child that the child’s fight is the mothers fight.
*
All life comes from some form of struggle. Please consider the humble seed. It grows in the dark. And then the struggle begins as the plant in its most tender youth forces its way through the darkness, dirt, and other obstacles to burst through to the warmth and light in triumph to start a new stage in its life.
*
The struggles of life make us stronger, more courageous, and confident as we experience each struggle/challenge personally. They teach us, and we grow from them. There is always some lesson to be learned in each new day.
The relationship between mother and child is very special. It does not stop at birth. It bonds and grows in a natural way if the mother is true to the calling of motherhood.

Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen – Peter Marshall.
“It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.” – John Joseph Powell.
“Someone has said that enemies are just people whose stories we don’t know. I see a lot of truth in that. The more other people’s stories are hidden from us, the easier it is for us to view them as enemies. But, when we begin to learn their stories, we recognize all we share in common with them and we delight in how the unique beauty of their traditions enriches our own lives.”
― Joe Hayes.
Do always keep in mind that God is always celebrating whenever we do the right thing that He has lead us to. Evil leads us to temptation, God leads us away – we make the choice. God knows that we are up to refusing evil and allows us to do so. There is much happiness and celebration everytime we succeed. 
2011.


Remember that if you are tempted of something, that it is something that if you partake of it, that will hold you back from something wonderful. You may even lose that gift forever. The temptation is of evil and short lived satisfaction. The wonderful gift will be from God and it comes to those who can wait and not weaken to the temptation offered. Go to the Light of love. 2011.
Signs That Narcissists Try to Manipulate You!
Narcissists are selfish people. They’re motivated by what’s best for them, not what’s best for others. In case you think you’re affected by a narcissist that tries to manipulate you, you should first identify the signs of their hurtful tactics. Staying away from a narcissist is one of the best self-affirming things you can do to improve your emotional and mental well-being.
11 Signs That These People Try to Manipulate You:
– They aren’t able to control their emotions and aggression
Experts claim that narcissists aren’t able to control their emotions or behaviour, overt aggression, and verbal aggression. So, avoid getting into an unsafe situation with them. You should protect yourself from being a victim of the abusive tendencies of these people and remember that you do deserve better. Even though physical aggression is easy to notice, psychological aggression is more difficult to spot. These signs indicate that someone is a psychological abuser:
– They pressure you to do things that you do not want to do;
– They control your behavior;
– They control your access to family and friends;
– They withhold financial, emotional, or physical support;
– They denigrate language;
– They threaten you;
– They make you feel afraid or intimidate you.
– They are verbally abusive
Narcissists use insulting language and yell at you as a way to manipulate you. They just want to make you feel fearful and small. But, you should try to stay strong in the face of this type of bullying behavior. You should also keep your voice calm and ask them to do the same. In case they don’t do it, refuse to talk to them.
– They try to make you feel unworthy or inferior
They manipulate you into believing that you aren’t good enough to please them. This means that they try to make you feel unworthy or inferior.
– They try to make you feel ashamed
Making you feel less valuable or belittling you is a way these people attempt to manipulate you. In case they manage to make you feel ashamed for your lack of education, physical appearance or social class, they’ll feel superior.

– They use gaslighting techniques to make you doubt your sanity.
Gaslighting is actually an insidious method used by narcissists, psychopaths, and sociopaths. It can make you doubt your own sanity. For instance, in case you tell a narcissist that you do not like what they said to you in front of others, they’ll probably deny it, say that you’re wrong, and claim that it didn’t happen, regardless of what proof you provide to support your claim.
– They play the victim.
‘I cannot win with you’ is one of these people’s tactics. They play the victim to console themselves and justify their inflated ego.
– They use brainwashing techniques to manipulate you.
Brainwashing is actually defined as the manipulation and modification of a victim’s beliefs, emotions, and attitudes. If you are the victim, it may reduce your ability to mentally defend yourself and make it easier for the narcissist to control you. They make you do things you do not want to do for them.
– They often bring in a third person in a conversation to prove that they’re correct.
Narcissists can bring in a third person in a conversation to prove that they’re correct. It’s not fair to you, since in case you had known that they’ve convinced someone to support them, you’d have brought a witness, as well.
– They do not listen to you and often turn the topic back to themselves.
As they believe that everything needs to be about them, narcissists may not be listening to you. What’s more, they instantly turn the topic back to themselves and cut you off when you’re speaking.
– They behave inappropriately
Scientists that have been examining the everyday teenage narcissist behavior said that narcissists behaved in less agreeable and more extroverted ways compared to other teenagers. Furthermore, they also used more sexual language and skipped class more.
– They often accuse you of actions and intentions that don’t belong to you.
Narcissists often criticize and blame you for everything they do. They accuse you of actions and intentions that don’t belong to you, and usually belong to themselves.

Freedom is thinking for ourselves, not government thinking for us. We have been dumbed down and seem to have lost the ability to believe that as individuals we can think, do and act.
God wants us to know the true difference between right and wrong and then we choose our sides. If government think for us then that is Satans will for us because as dumbed down people we are entertained, lost, selfish and easily led.
As people who know the true value of God, love, and clean healthy living we become a serious threat to all that is evil.
There is a quote that says that Satan doesn’t make us do anything wrong, all Satan does is put it before us, and then we choose to take the sin/s or not. The trouble is that our family lives, traditions, peer pressures etc all can work in Satan’s favour to weaken a young person and this young person will take the bait that Satan offers. They will also hand their life over to the government to think for them because that is what others have traditionally done before them.
The most important thing about choosing sides between good and sin is that the rewards of one are good and the other is devastation.

One of the “powers” that blood-family have is that they know what buttons to push having known someone for so long (especially parents) and they have strong emotional connection and tradition that tries to demand respect (even if they don’t deserve it) and they demand to be honoured (even if they are not honourable).
Children naturally want to love, adore and deeply believe in their parents, and so if all is not as it should be the children will lie to themselves over and over again, and then because that toxic life is all that they have ever known, they will with time convince themselves that they live a “normal” life and that others are just jealous, or “don’t know how it really is” in their home etc.
When proof comes before the child that their family life is weird, toxic, abusive and unhealthy, they refuse to see it or digest it because their core-belief is so strong about their family being a normal family they refuse to see the truth, because the truth will hurt so much. And if they live a toxic life shame is something that they feel too much of, in their immature-child-like minds they don’t want to invite more pain, suffering and shame, so they avoid facing the truth about their parents at all costs and pretend that their parents are normal, decent good people.
One of the weapons of demanding blood-family is extended family who are not close enough to know the truth of what is really going on in the family but delude themselves into thinking that they do, and they also put pressure on the children to behave, to fit in, to submit to family rule, and to do as they are told, and to respect their (toxic, abusive) parents.
Blood-Family create a hold on the person that is very easily broken if one really tries, but so very hard to mentally do because in general people are honest and good, and they want to feel that family love them and that family will be true to them and their own personal cause in life.
I try to mention that criminals and the likes of narcissists all came from a family, all dictators, murderers, etc, they all came from a family, Hitler had a family, so if we know that, we can open our mind up to the fact that someone in our own family could be a crook/narcissist ripping of its own family and they don’t care a hoot who they hurt.
Letting family hurt us is simply allowing it to happen, in a sense we are giving them permission to sabotage our life and happiness, and we are enabling the constant disappointments and hurt we feel daily/weekly, and we are allowing them to destroy any self belief in ourselves and in the future that will affect our own children.
If we allow it, it will continue, and as long as we allow it we will be miserable, no sense in that at all.
Shake the dust off the feet and move on, then the misery and those that cause it are gone.
The most beautiful thing is walking away as an adult and not looking back. Blood family may be what we have always known, but freedom is pulling the plug and disconnecting the connection and finding that the power of happiness is plugging into your own new spiritual family of your own choice, your people, people who live like you want to live, people who think like you, of like -mind, and your tribe.

We will probably find that in our lifetime there are people who we don’t like, or who have become our enemies who we never actually have ever sat down with at a table and spoke to one another.
===
“If I knew you and you knew me,
and each of us could clearly see,
the meaning of your heart and mine,
I’m sure that we would differ less,
we’d clasp our hands in friendliness,
if I knew you and you knew me.”
– John Kanary. ‘
Breaking Through Limitations’.
===
Many people today don’t like each other, don’t trust each other, because of what others have told them about the other.
The dislike is because of input from other people and not from anything that either one did to the other.
Many of us have probably been in the situation where we find out that people have lied about us and yet they refuse to allow us to approach them, so we cannot explain what happened.
○
Most people would find that if they knew the other person then they would clearly see that their hearts may be more in tune than that of the liars who originally spoke to them and led them astray.
