InCouragements Insight - Love & Commitment

Hi InCouragements family, I know it has been a while, but I have been so busy with Taylor, parents, and other things this summer.

The highlight so far of my summer was helping my dear friend Yvette plan her 25th wedding anniversary celebration which took place on last Saturday. That's right 25 years, I was so proud of her and her husband, their commitment to each other and to their family is amazing. They have had their share of ups and downs, happy times and sad times, and issues and problems, but through all of it, they both the key word being (both) decided to commit to one another and their kids. Even while planning this celebration, my friend endured some obstacles, setbacks, and even a little arguing with the hubby, but on that day when I looked at the both of them and how much love and commitment they have for one another, you understood how they had made it to 25 years.

It made me think of things in my own life that had become a success, such as my precious daughter, my family, my best friendships, finishing school etc. When I took a look at these successes the common factors were love and commitment and all parties taking a part. My daughters is a success because of my love and commitment to her, but also because she participates on being the best kid she can be. My family and friend relationships are a success because all parties involved are participating with love and commitment to one another. Me finishing school and starting school again is due to my love and commitment to school, but also my family's and Taylor's father's love and commitment to me, by watching Taylor and assisting me while in school.

So, I say to you today whatever you want to succeed or become a success, put all your love and commitment into it. It could be a loved one, a child, a business, a friendship, whatever it is do not give up or allow it to become a failure, decide today to love it with all you have and commit to it with all your energy. Also, remember that with some of this to become a success the other party will need to give all their love and commitment too, so pray for that to take place.

Thanks Yvette & Cecil for showing me what love and commitment brings about.
