Message Title: Gratitude in Marriage

When a man is grateful to the wife, he will get double from the wife and vice versa. Anytime you're grateful to your spouse your cup overflow.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

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.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
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.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
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.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
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
Don't neglect your inlaws either. They are part of the family. Show appreciation to them.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine

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/

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत


Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।


Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed
Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"


The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.

1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!

2) "Repressed memory" syndrome

3) Facilitated Communication [FC]

All 3 led to massive abuse.

"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.

Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.

FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
