Gratitude is an appreciation for something one has done for you. (2 Samuel 9:1) Couples expect their spouse to show appreciation for things done. Whenever this isn't forthcoming, there will be a reaction from such a spouse.

In a similar vein, God expects us to express gratitude to Him for all He has done for us. The story of the ten lepers portrays this fact. (Luke 17:11-19)

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Whenever you don't show gratitude to your spouse, you are removing something from your spouse. Many times couples focus on things that have not to be done rather than appreciating things that have been done.

How do you show appreciation in marriage?

1. Never trivialize what your spouse has done; no matter how little it may seem, always appreciate their effort.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
2. Learn to admire your spouse's appearance or excellent work. Become your spouse's biggest fan. "Behind every great man is a woman admiring him"

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Don't criticize good things your spouse does, even if you feel it's not worth it or necessary.

Husbands compliment your wife's good looks or attires. Praises make them feel loved and boost their confidence. A wife who never receives compliments except during intercourse will grow to resist her husband.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Celebrate your wife, she's the most beautiful and perfect for you. Always let her know she's the best for you and constantly appreciate her. (Proverbs 5:19)

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Watch your words. Ensure you are motivating her and renewing the commitment to make the union work. Kind words have a great effect on your home.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Appreciate your wife's domestic efforts. They do a lot to keep the home running. Never trivialize her efforts. They are doing a great job.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Show gratitude to your parents. They are part of the family. Always reach out to them and celebrate them for the work they put in to raise you. (Eph 6:2-3)

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Honor your parents in accordance with how God has blessed you. Remember when you do this, you are sowing a seed. One day it will be the turn of your children to honor you.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

#Cardano “Understanding Kamali”

#Cardano will be the underpinning of the emergence of Africa.

To grasp the full weight of the SOLUTIONS #Cardano can provide it is pertinent to read “Understanding Africa” as I will draw directly from the PROBLEMS laid out.

What I will attempt to do here, is to create an immersive world for you to be placed in to grasp the weight and size of problems from the ground level and then take a grass-roots approach at solving them using #Cardano and its technology.

As an investor and community member of #Cardano, this should be extremely important to you as you have a stake (pun intended) in this.

In Africa, agribusiness, more than any other sector, has the potential to reduce poverty and drive economic growth. Agriculture accounts for nearly half of the continent’s gross domestic product and employs 60 percent of the labor force.
There is some valuable analysis in this report, but on the defense front this report is deeply flawed. There are other sections of value in report but, candidly, I don't think it helps us think through critical question of Taiwan defense issues in clear & well-grounded way. 1/


Normally as it might seem churlish to be so critical, but @cfr is so high-profile & the co-authors so distinguished I think it’s key to be clear. If not, people - including in Beijing - could get the wrong idea & this report could do real harm if influential on defense issues. 2/

BLUF: The defense discussion in this report does not engage at the depth needed to add to this critical debate. Accordingly conclusions in report are ill-founded - & in key parts harmful/misleading, esp that US shldnt be prepared defend Taiwan directly (alongside own efforts). 3/

The root of the problem is that report doesn't engage w the real debate on TWN defense issues or, frankly, the facts as knowable in public. Perhaps the most direct proof of this: The citations. There is nothing in the citations to @DeptofDefense China Military Power Report...4/

Nor to vast majority of leading informed sources on this like Ochmanek, the @RANDCorporation Scorecard, @CNAS, etc. This is esp salient b/c co-authors by their own admission have v little insight into contemporary military issues. & both last served in govt in Bush 43. 5/
