Important Little Words

There are many things that we can do to help strengthen our relationships.

Most involve the saying of just three words.

  • “I’ll be there.”

Being there for another person is one of the greatest gifts we can give. When we are there for others, important things happen to them and us. We are renewed in love and friendship and restored emotionally and spiritually. Being there is the essence of showing regard for others.

  • “I miss you.”

This simple yet powerful declaration says to others that they are wanted, needed, desired and loved.

Consider how joyful you feel when you receive a card or phone call just saying “I miss You.”

  • “I respect you.”

Showing respect is another way of showing love. Respect expresses the feeling that another person is a true equal. When you talk with respect you will help strengthen the bonds in all your relationships.

  • “Maybe you’re right.”

When your having a heated argument with someone, they, or you, are unlikely to change their stance and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship.  Using this phrase is highly effective in diffusing an argument and restoring tense emotions. Saying “maybe you’re right” is the humility of admitting, “Maybe I’m wrong” and can open the door to further explore the subject in a more rational manner.

  • “Please forgive me.”

All of us have faults and peculiarities of behavior. We should never be ashamed to admit when we have been wrong, which in other words, is saying we are wiser today than yesterday. Many broken relationships can be healed and mended if people would only admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness.

  • “I thank you.”

People who have the companionship of good, close friends don’t take their expressions of kindness and daily courtesies for granted. Showing gratitude by saying “Thank you” is a glorious form of courtesy.

  • “Count on me.”

A good friend is steady and true when trouble comes. Loyalty is an essential element for true friendship that bonds our relationships.

  • “Let me help.”

The best of friends, without being asked, pitch in and help. When they see a need they try to fill it and when they notice a hurt they do whatever they can to help heal it.

  • “I understand you.”

Letting others know in many little ways that you understand them is a powerful tool to any relationship. People become closer and enjoy each other more when they feel another person accepts and understands them.

  • “I love you.”

Your family, friends and you all need to hear those three little words “I Love You”. Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies our deepest emotional needs; the need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted.

These three-word phrases have the power to create, deepen and heal friendships and can enrich every relationship in our lives. Speak them!

A little Girl and her Father

Here is a short story with a beautiful message… MM900283113

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter,
“Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don’t fall into the river.”The little girl said, “No, Dad. You hold my hand.”“What’s the difference?” asked the puzzled father.

“There’s a big difference,” replied the little girl.

“If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may
let your hand go.

But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter
what happens, you will never let my hand go.”

So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours…

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

A Reason, a Season or a Lifetime

Gold Hearts

 People come into your life for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty; to provide you with guidance and support; to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you are a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Cody Green; Named Honorary Marine

Cody Green
Ok folks this is a real heart-breaker but such a wonderful story that I read about yesterday on Facebook and I just have to share it with all of cyberspace. So get ready to cry a river and have your tissue box handy than read on.

 Cody Green was a 12-year boy in Indiana who was diagnosed with leukemia at 22 months of age. He loved the Marines, and his parents said he drew strength and courage from the Marine Corps. as he bravely fought the battle into remission three times. Although he was cancer-free at the time, the chemotherapy had lowered his immune system and he developed a fungus infection that attacked his brain.
As he struggled to fend off that infection in the hospital, the Marines wanted to show how much they respected his will to live, his strength, honor and courage. The Marines presented Cody with Marine navigator wings and named him an honorary member of the United States Marine Corps. But for one Marine, that wasn’t enough. So that night, before Cody Green passed away, he took it upon himself to stand guard at Cody’s hospital door all night long, 8 hours straight.
The Marine on Guard Duty is Sgt. Dolfini, USMC. How proud he makes me to be an American.


Snopes says “TRUE” .. and their account is worth reading.
