What I learned as a Christian this week!

I’ve been putting of writing this post for a little while now, I’ve learned so much it’s hard to put it all in writing. I recently went on a Man’s retreat with my church and Pastor Neil Kennedy of Five Star Man. Gentlemen, if you get a chance, attend a Five Star Man event. It is well worth it. I’ll try and write a couple of things here that really opened my eyes in all of this. The first and in an area I had been having some issues with lately is with marriage. To put it simply, your family is like your garden. If you are looking and envying another man’s garden or you are not happy with your own, The only one to blame is yourself. You are not tending and taking care of your own garden, so you want another man’s. If you did take care and cultivate your own garden, there would be no need to look elsewhere for what you need. Men take care of your own garden’s, you will be far happier. You should view every woman who is not your wife as either your grandmother, mother, sister or daughter. Lover is only reserved for your wife. Another thing I learned and realize is true, is that God put’s those in authority over us there for a reason and will work through those people ( even if they are not Godly) to His own end and will not bypass what He has put in place just because you don’t like the person in authority. God work’s through all people weather they know it or not. Show respect to the chain of authority that God has put in place and stop whining to Him just because you don’t like it. Keep your faith in God, He will work through those in authority over you to blossom you , just as he will work through you to blossom those who you are in authority of, your children for instance. There are many, many more things that I was inlightened to on this retreat. I am very thankful to our Lord Jesus for all that He has taught me. I pray He gives me wisdom and words to pass it on to others. I admit it myself, I am not the best at conveying what it is I know to others. I just hope I can pass on what I can.

God Bless!
