                  LOVE(between a Man and a Woman).

1.     Have a common faith and value system for determining that faith: this is of utmost importance. Problems often arise in marriages due to differences in faith, religious beliefs and value systems. 
2.     Is he\she an angry person? Can he\she handle the anger with self-restraint or does it keep flying off the handle at the slightest provocation? Does he\she strike at the nearest object/person when annoyed?
3.     Can he\she carry out an intelligent conversation with you on topics outside of you both? Does he\she challenge your thinking? Does he\she respect your opinions especially when they differ from theirs?
4.     Can he\she handle your weirdness? Does he\she understand and can handle your moods, idiosyncrasies et al?
5.     Does he\she laugh at your jokes? Can he\she laugh at the silly things you do and sometimes say? Does he\she laugh with you? Can you tease each other?
6.     Does he\she have interests outside of you? Interest in good books, culture, art, some sport (not a fanatic hopefully), hobbies?
7.     How does he\she treat women\men? Watch how his\her father treated his\her mother. A man will almost always treat his wife the way his father treated his mother and vice versa.
8.     Is he\she a patient person? Is he\she a good listener (not just a polite or uninterested listener?)
9.     Is he\she gentle? Gentleness is attractive and especially necessary when the children start arriving
10.   Is he\she a virtuous person? Kind, Generous, Courteous, Meek, prudent, humble and above all God-fearing?

FOR THIS REASON, A MAN WILL LEAVE HIS PARENTS AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE AND BOTH WILL BECOME ONE FLESH. Ephesians 5:22-33.

This is our February tract. It is meant for people on the go. As we celebrate love, we particularly reach out to those in a loving relationship between husbands and wives and those to be. Remember, God is love, if you do not know God, you do not know love. Enjoy!!!

Tina.

PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS. We have ridiculed the absolute truth of God's word and called it 'pluralism'. We have worshipped other gods and said 'give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar'. We have endorsed pervertion and called it 'alternative life style'. We have exploited the poor and called it 'lottery'. We have rewarded laziness and called it 'welfare'.

We neglected to discipline our children and called it 'building self esteem'. We have abused power and called it 'politics'. We have converted our neighbour's property and called it 'ambition'.

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
