ONE WHO LOVES YOU, WARNS YOU

By Vernalee

Yes, it is true that when we love someone, we warn them. We don't want them to walk into danger. The answer lies not in our warning them, the answer lies in - if they will listen and take heed to our advice. "Of course love does not deliberately do or say things to hurt people. But the truth is that love cares enough to tell people the truth that will save them. And we know that some of the truths that we need to hear are poignant and piercing. Love warns. When you love people and you see their lives are in danger or that they are heading into destruction, you warn them." It's just that plain and simple.

RELATIONSHIPS LEAVE STUFF BEHIND

By Vernalee

When we are involved in relationships

(personal and professional) , it is serious business! Attachments are formed. Familiarity becomes a standard. When our relationships work, it is a great thing! When they don’t, discontentment is our by-product. Getting rid of the bad apples and walking away are not always easy tasks. Challenging, isn’t it? Therefore, it is imperative that we are careful and selective about who we let into our lives and into our precious space. Whether it is in a good or bad way, people “rub off!” Sweet is better than bitter; good is better than bad. You choose. Choose wisely. One thing is for sure. We live with our choices – good or bad.

WHOSE BATTLE IS IT?

By Vernalee

Are you in the middle of someone else’s dispute? Hold up! It’s easy to be innocently intertwined. Folks love reeling others in their mess! When people are fighting all around you, how protected do you feel? Listen intently! When I heard a neighboring colleague, “The gloves are off,” so was I! Off I went! I wasn’t taking a chance getting caught in the middle of their crossfire. Their issues and out of controlled animosities are theirs, not mine’s.

It may be best to “get out from among them!” Why should I get involved when it’s not my fight!

It’s not being a coward; it’s being smart. Photo credit: www.wearedeltafa.com
