LOVE

-


    Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection ("I love my mother") to pleasure ("I loved that meal"). It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment. It can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection—"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another". It may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals.
       Love has been defined in various ways. From a deep feeling of affection, to the embodiment of virtues that always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. And for centuries, humans have found ways to celebrate the existence of love. Now, with a better understanding of the biology and chemistry of love, science has begun to recognize that there are health benefits as well. Helping our patients understand the value and importance of maintaining loving relationships may help them to benefit from love's positive effects on mental health.

THE LION MODE

Image
In the jungle: 1. The Elephant is the biggest; 2. The Giraffe is the tallest; 3. The Fox is the wisest; 4. The Cheetah is the fastest; Yet, the Lion is the KING of the jungle even without ANY of these qualities. Why? Because: 1.  The Lion is courageous, bold, walks with confidence, dares anything and is never afraid. 2. The Lion believes it is unstoppable. 3. The Lion is a risk taker. 4. The Lion believes any animal is food for him. 5. The Lion believes any opportunity is worth giving a trial and never lets it slip from its hands. So... 1. You don't need to be the fastest. 2. You don't need to be the wisest. 3. You don't need to be the smartest. 4. You don't need to be the most brilliant. 5. All you need is *courage* 6. All you need is the *will to try*. 7. All you need is the *faith* to believe it *is possible*. 8. All you need is to believe in yourself, that *you can* do it because you are connected to Christ and you are one with Him.

JUST WAIT

-
          By Jill Briscoe There is nothing quite as difficult as waiting. When we are in the middle of some particularly difficult situation, time appears to stand still. Our problem is exacerbated by our Western lifestyle and mindset, which often reflect our “instant” society. In America it seems we cannot bear to wait for anything. What is more, we regard instant service and gratification almost as rights. Not long ago I found myself in such a place. As I hunkered down to wait my situation out, I couldn’t help searching Scriptures for glimpses of hope that it would all soon be over. I realized I was on a journey – the journey to “soon.” I couldn’t help but notice how often that little word soon kept popping up in my Bible readings, and I remember complaining petulantly to the Lord, “Not ‘soon’ – ‘now.’” I didn’t like being on the way to “soon” one little bit! On one occasion I remember trying to comfort our two-and-a-half-year-old twin grandchildren, who were howling because the

BE PATIENT

What a pity ... She gave her car key to the youngest child in the car while she went to buy some stuff in the mall. Upon her return, the boy had misplaced the key and the whole family was stranded on the road. Observing her discomfort with innocent kids without a masculine shepherd, I joined the search party. For each passing minute without the key, she landed the boy that had the key with a slap or a concentrated curse! After few minutes, she strayed in frustration into a motorbike's way and was knocked down. It was in the process of helping her up and picking the pieces of her belongings that the car key was found. She had already lost herself before the key was found! Many people lose themselves in search of what is missing in their lives. *Many lose their moral limb while searching for the "missing rib"! *Some lose their health while searching for material wealth. *I know those who lost their message while searching for relevance and sponsors. *Some
