Each of us are individuals...

It's funny to think of how creative God is. NONE of US are alike...we may have similarities and similar likes or dislikes, but we are completely unique. This never ceases to amaze me around our house...6 people in 1 house, 5 guys to 1 girl, (even the kitten is male, so technically 6 guys, no wait, my little brother is here for now, so make that 7!!!!!) Anyway, it doesn't matter, because every guy is different, every girl is different...everyone is different. I'm glad that God uses our differences to help us learn how to treat "different" people in a way that makes them feel wanted, loved, respected, and needed. It's great if you really listen to the Holy Spirit, he will guide you to say to each individual just what they need to hear from God through us, his own personal messengers. I've always been a people watcher, learn their habits, quirks, likes, dislikes, fears, questions, but most of all just the story of their life. It's amazing how many people will befriend you if you will only take the time to listen and care. That's why I like little kids so much...if you just take the time to listen, give them your undivided attention, EVEN IF YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THEY ARE SAYING, they are just plain happy to have your eyes and ears exclusively attentive to them. But really, are we any different as adults? So many relationships fall apart because we quit listening, quit paying attention, or just quit caring. To truly love someone is to truly listen and learn them and show them that you care, no matter what age they are, no matter what gender they are, no matter if they are Christian or non-Christian, God put us here to love one another. I'm glad to have the practice on so many different characters in my own house =)

Mommy ~ the lone ranger girl...lol (and for those noticing this is when I was still blonde, I have to admit, I have to take some pics of my newest color =) I'm usually the one behind the camera taking the pics...lol


The point to make with all those photos, is once again...we look nothing alike, act nothing alike, and are nothing alike...but with the Holy Spirit, we can be united as one with our spouse, and connected to our children in a spiritual way that the Lord can make as an eternal bond and another guide on how to love them as the individuals they are...created by God to do go works that he planned for them in advance.
