I wanted to cook something good for my family yesterday. You know that I was away from home for few days and they didn’t really complain about it. So, I wanted to reward them with a good dinner.
Did I ever tell you that cooking is not my number one favorite thing in life? Well it’s not. I serve my family hoping that I will be rewarded for it in heaven. I’m not kidding! I don’t appreciate any part of the kitchen work. But hey, I do it anyways and I train myself every day to enjoy it with the help and encouragement of my loving husband. (BTW, I have a reason why I don’t like cooking and I will tell you about it some other time.)
There was some commotion on this page on Monday because of the post, “It Takes Two To Tango.”
Some people were irritated by my statement of “Have you ever seen a tango dance/performance? It is just beautiful, isn’t it?” and asked “I love tango dance? What else do you love?”
And all those people who have expressed their grief over that statement are from Ethiopia and none of them seemed to care about the main topic, which was marriage.
I tend to change my number one favorite author almost every season. John Owen (born 1654) was my number one favorite Christian author last summer; now in this cold winter season, rightly so, my favorite author is Richard Sibbes (born in 1517).

I believe I’m deeply in love with him but he doesn’t know that. I covered that part of the story real well. And when he asked me out, I was about to pass out. I’m not kidding. He is my dream man. Now, we are going to meet for the first time, next Saturday for lunch. This lunch will mark our first official date but I’m very nervous. I don’t want to mess things up; I just don’t want to lose him. What do you advise me to do?”
Unadulterated and pure faith in God doesn’t always say, “God will deliver us,” but it sometimes says, “God will deliver us, but if He doesn’t, we will continue to worship and love Him!”
This is not a confession of doubt in God but an expression of unshakable and unstoppable faith in God, a strong and intimate relationship with God.
I was in a kitchen this past Tuesday night, trying to fix dinner. My little one, Biruk, came from downstairs, holding a big white envelop on his hand that was full of pictures. He had a smile on his face and some sadness.
I’m like, “What is that?”
His big brother was sitting on the coffee table and he asked him,

A4P Guest: “I’ve been married for the past five years and I have two little kids. My husband and I don’t communicate that much and we always argue. I’m struggling to respect him and he is struggling to show me any sort of love. I can hardly remember a day that I enjoyed my life with him. I was in love with him when we were dating and then I will say, after about three months into our marriage, we began arguing for every little thing and disagreements. I always decide to be the first one to stop but I always find myself in the middle of a heated argument. What do you advise me to do?” Continue reading Positive Attitude Benefit You→
