Edification

Good afternoon lovees!!! Such a beautiful day today!! I just love summer weather!!! Thank you God for the beauty of the sun/Son!!

Edification...what a beautiful gesture! And yet, how many of us practice it? The dictionary describes it as this...to instruct or benefit, especially morally or spiritually; uplift. I believe to edify someone is one of the kindest, most loving gestures we can show one another. When done within the bounds of a relationship, it can truly change the dynamics and bring two people incredibly close....in my opinion.

So what does edification look like? It can be a gesture, it can be words spoken, it can be touch, it can look like whatever you deem appropriate. Holding a door for someone or even carrying their bags is a form of edification. Taking a chore off someone's plate is a form of edification. There are many ways to edify someone.

Now, let's talk within the bounds of a relationship. I'm a bit old fashioned myself, so hang on to your hats as I proceed here...lol.

LADIES, I believe that a man should be treated as a king within the home. Even if you're just dating. I believe that the man should find his home a place of refuge and want for nothing once he walks through the door. I believe that in doing this, it does a few things...1, it allows him to know that you have his back. 2, it encourages him. 3, it shows him he's your priority. 4, it should empower him to know that you will take care of him at all times.

MEN, if you've found a rare gem that will treat you in such a way as this, then by George, you had better treat her as your queen!! Give back to her all that she gives to you! Suffer through the ballet and the mall. Suffer through a tearful conversation and allow her to just be. Tuck a card or a note in her handbag. Text her just because and let her know you're thinking of her. Give her your time.

Ladies and gentleman, I believe if we treated each other the way I have described above, we would have less to fight amongst ourselves about! Let's start edifying each other! Lift each other up! Love one another!!

Have a blessed day friends!!!

Love and hugs...
