How To Build Great Relationships

How To Build Great Relationships
By Brian Houston

I just found this new book, haven't read it yet, but i believe this is a very good book...
---------

Bbbgre One of the greatest gifts God has given us is people. When you think of giving someone gifts, you may think of inanimate objects or things, but God thinks of people. When He saw Adam was alone, He gave him a wife and companion. When He saw the world in need, He gave us Jesus. When He wants to change an enterprise, community or nation, He raises up people who will fulfil His purposes.

Great relationships are a sign of a prosperous life but they don't come by chance. Sadly, we live in a world filled with broken relationships. I'm not only talking about broken marriages, but failed friendships, family fall-outs or bitter business partnerships. The reality is that you certainly don't fluke a good marriage, a great friendship or a successful business partnership. The principles that you sow into the relationship will determine what you reap.

Many take their relationships for granted and only when they experience problems, do they desperately seek answers or help. The truth is that if the pain and bitterness of one bad relationship is never dealt with, it has the potential to affect other relationships too. Yet the good news is that even those who have been hurt in intimate relationships can apply biblical principles, lay the right kind of foundations and go on to build great relationships.

So you want to know how to build great relationships? The Bible is the most comprehensive manual or handbook we have that contains all the principles we need for building successful relationships in every level of life. The Bible speaks about marriage, friendship, parenting, employer relations, leadership, how to treat others ... and how to have a great relationship with God Himself.

Being In Love

C. S. Lewis in Mere Christianity wrote, “Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. There are many things below it, but there are also things above it. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling. Now no feeling can be relied on to last in its full intensity, or even to last at all....In fact, the state of being in love usually does not last....But of course ceasing to be ‘in love’ need not mean ceasing to love. Love...is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by the grace which both partners ask and receive from God....They can retain this love even when each would easily, if they allowed themselves, be ‘in love’ with someone else. ‘Being in love’ first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enable them to keep their promise. It is on this love that the engine of marriage is run: being in love was the explosion that started it.” ---------------...

My baby's face..

finally we can have a picture how our baby would be look like... Yesterday me and david going for USG 4D.. Actually the best time to have USD 4D is when the pregnancy is only 6-7 months when the baby still small. our time is a bit too late coz the baby already big, so its a bit difficult to have a good image, but still we're so amazed to see how he got david nose...:) We can see all the body organs all in perfect condition, and the heart beat also perfect.. Can't wait to finally met him soon..... Here's some of the pictures..
