"...but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will." - 2 Corinthians 8:5b
A pig and a chicken took an afternoon stroll that led them near their neighborhood Waffle House. They looked up at a sign in the window that advertised the daily special--Ham and Eggs for only R3.00
"Look at that!" said the chicken. "I am involved!"
"It's true that you are involved," replied the pig, "but for me, it's total commitment."
There weer times in my life that i would start something and be so positive about it, but a few minutes later i would just let go of the idea. There were even times that i would promise to be there for people but in the end i would be too busy to even pick up the phone to say hello, how are you.
It came back to me double when i needed a friend to be there for me.
Today things are different. I will not commit unless i feel in my spirit this is what i have to do. I AM NO LONGER INVOLVED BUT COMMITTED TO THE END.
How about you? When it comes to your responsibilities, are you just involved or are you committed to give it your all for the good of your TEAM,YOUR FRIENDSHIP, YOUR MARRIAGE, and all concerned? Even more important, are you totally committed to do your best for the glory of God?
SOMEBODY NEEDS YOU TODAY!!!!
The question isn't whether or not people are going to be committed, but rather who is going to get your commitment.

Yesterday's message was about the husband and what he needs most from his wife.
Ladies, i trust the message helped in some way. Today is about the wife and her needs.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church…” - Ephesians 5:25
Dr. James Dobson was asked, “Why are men so insensitive to women’s needs today?”
He answered, “I question whether men have really changed all that much. I doubt if men ever responded as women preferred. Did the farmer of a century ago come in from the fields to say, ‘Tell me how it went with the kids today?' No. He was as oblivious to his wife’s nature then as husbands are today.”
So, men, if you’re struggling to meet your wife’s needs, the Bible gives a few tips as to what they need:
PHYSICAL AFFECTION:
Not just sex, but a tender touch-a few hugs all through the day.
SECURITY:
A wife desires a sense of security, physically, financially and emotionally.
UNDERSTANDING:
This means listening more than telling her what to do.
LET HER KNOW SHE'S BEAUTIFUL:
She needs reassurance in a society of constant comparison.
SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP:
Not dictatorships, but servant leadership, like Christ for His church.
These are what a wife needs most from her husband.
ONE MORE THING TO THE MEN AS A REMINDER.
I know those men who has a job arises very early and they sometimes feel that everything has to be given to them on a platter. Well husbands, this is what the word says:
Proverbs 31:15 "She also arises while it is yet night, and provides food for her household,..."
So remember, whether she's a housewife or work as an employee, remember Proverbs 31:15
In His love,
Leslene
