Cell phone charger

I just got the new Myphone 3G Slide...and I absolutely love it! It has so many apps, 2 of which are a tuner and metronome! It also has internet access, so I can check my facebook anywhere! I can take pictures, videos, pretty much anything with this phone! There is one drawback, however: it loses it's charge very quickly. So quickly, in fact, it barely lasts half a day.

I was with my best friend today, and we were on the subject of love. It got me thinking of one of my favorite books: The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. He talks about how everyone feels love one of five ways: physical touch, words of affiration, receiving gifts, quality time, acts of service. Along those lines he talks about how everyone has a "love tank", and when the "love tank" isn't full, the person doesn't feel loved (obviously). I got to thinking, however, that just like we have a "love tank", we also need to be charged, like my awesome Myphone. If we don't receive love from our partner, we feel empty; our "tank" is empty; our battery is running out. If we're not charged, we're not going to be able to work at our fullest capacity.

When it comes to love, I think of the one who is Love: Jesus. When someone genuinely loves Jesus, their life will reflect their love. I assume this carries into all our relationships in life. If someone genuinely love you, their words and actions will reflect their love.

Just some things to ponder about those you love, and those who love you.

Open your eyes

Have you ever hoped that you could close your eyes and when you open them, your life would be different? Maybe when you open your eyes you'd be someone else--someone famous. Or somewhere else--somewhere beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could open my eyes and be in a perfect place with a perfect life. No stress, no fighting, no sickness; plenty of money, love, and friendship.

I can't help but wonder though: How many people open their eyes and end up right here? Right where we are; the very place we're trying to get away from.

We may not have a perfect life; and those who's lives seem perfect to us, in reality, are far from it. We all have things to be grateful for. Just open your eyes.

I could be all these things.
But if I was all these things
The one thing I couldn't be is me.
