Jennie and Wess is a wonderful couple

Jennie and Wess is a wonderful couple. They invited us to their home in Laguna, Orange County Cali. We are blessed to have such great couple in our life. The friendship between married couple is really needed and the support of those couple is amazing. We really enjoyed our time with them. The conversions went on for hours and the words of encouragement lifted us and encouraged us tremendously.
Thank You so much J & W for your great welcome, we miss you and can't wait to see you soon.

Couples: Share Three Things

Lately been adopting a new way of communicating that we learned in a book that we have been reading. The book is about communication in marriage and one thing that the book encourages us to do is to get beyond the headline reporting way of talk with our spouse. Meaning, that we need to be more expressive with our conversations and saying meaningful things to each other not just the normal short sentence talk.

So, here it is what the book has been teaching us, every day take 30 min or so and tell your spouse three things about your day that moved your feelings and emotions. The point of it is to share the feelings with each other, which we may keep for ourselves. The purpose is to talk about thing we might don't want to talk about and also to force us to find things and way to have conversions. The need to share the emotions is the key point.

We have been trying to do it every day for the past two weeks and it has been going great. I think it helps us a lot, we get to know how we feel and shows what is important to each other. I believe that best benefit of this method is the way it makes us listen to each other and the feeling of importance that brings with it.

Couples, I encourage you to try to have those meaningful conversions and have more than the usual (ok, nice, thank you) communications.
I look forward to your comments.

Balancing Couples

I guess God has his own way of balancing every thing. After five weeks of good weather in Boston and temperature reaching almost 60 on Friday, Monday comes with almost a foot of snow.

In Job, God is credited with the power to send snow down from His heavenly storehouses to either protect and water the soil or to hinder the efforts of soldiers in battle (Job 37:6; 38:22-23). The psalmist enjoined the snow to join the rest of creation in praising the Lord by "fulfilling His word" (Ps 148:8)

In many areas, snowfall is an important source of moisture. Jeremiah writes that no farmer would trade a farm watered by the snow water of Lebanon for another field watered by a muddy or uncertain stream (Jer 18:14). God uses snow (which, having fallen to earth, never returns to the heavens, but instead waters the fields) as an example of the unfailing power of His word which, sent down to earth, accomplishes whatever He pleases (Is 55:10-11). The Jordan River, itself, was fed by the melting snows of Mt. Hermon. Snow also protects the roots of various plants from cold weather. Hannah Whithall Smith writes, "There is no frost hath power to blight the tree God shields; the roots are warm beneath soft snows, and when spring comes it surely knows, and every bud to blossom grows" (The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life by Hannah Whithall Smith p. 73).
I don't mind those white flicks, I actually enjoy them alot. These are something about them that bring smiles to my heart and ignite my thinking.
Your spouse may not be in love with snow, I won't blame her, not too many people are fond with is it as well. But I guess God has his way of balancing things even within couples who would love to see their partner just like them. But, God has his way of balancing that and putting differences in our relationships as couples. One snow storm  she may say the snow looks so pretty, it just like God is decorating the trees. I loved her comment and her new perspective on snow. That little comment made could make any spouse feel closer, or shows that despite our differences partners can sometime see an eye for an eye and admire God work in every thing even in snow.

Couples, How bad you want your relationships to work?

Today, I was readying the abcnew as every day, when I came across this true love story of two who are suffering from Autism. David Hamrick, 29, and Lindsey Nebeker, 27.

Their life together isn't easy, they don't even share the same bed or even the same room. Their sickness prevents them from so. But their love toward each other is so much that they really badly want to be together. Their love teaches them that despite the sickness, they can make it works.

So, the question to all of you out there, How badly you want to make your relationship work?

Do you resist anger when your partner can't do something for you?

Do you support them when they are down and all they want is just to be held?

Do you accept their complains as much as you accept their encouraging words?

Here is some of the lines from the story I wanted to share with you.

"I pretty much liked everything about her," he said. "She was very sweet, easy to talk to, and a good listener."

"But for all the compromises, the couple's love story is actually a pretty traditional one, one of deep understanding and acceptance."

"When I have had a bad day at work or just a bad day for some other reason -- and I come home, I don't even have to say anything, he senses it. Dave will come up to me and start cuddling up to me and that's really all I need," Nebeker said. "I know that I am with a partner who is not going to judge me for certain eccentricities I have."

The American Citizenship

On Feb 18th I received the honer of being sworn in as an American.
The event took place in the Moakley Federal Courthouse in Boston right by the water front. What a beautiful building. I am attaching some pictures of the building that I find very great structure.
