What’s up Jane?

The magic of love-
Love is like magic and it always will be,
For love still remains life’s sweet mystery!
Love works in ways that are wondrous and strange
And there’s nothing in life that love cannot change!
Love is unselfish, understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart and not with its mind!
Love can’t be bought; it is priceless and free,
Love like pure magic is a sweet mystery
-Helen Steiner Rice

Happy birthday to those born in June.

Rules for moms and dads with a teenager-
Respect your teen’s feelings, even when you disagree.
Spend time with your teen; talk about whatever makes him/her happy (sports, music or friends).
Let your teen be who he or she wants to be; try not to pressure your teen to be who you wish he or she will be, or wish you had been.
Be approachable. Reassure your teen-repeatedly-that he can come to you with any problem. Try to focus on solutions and try not to show anger.
Keep tabs on your teen. Know where your child is, always.
Be a parent, not a pal. Enforce rules, even if you have to be unpopular.

For those that have lost loved ones, you have my deepest sympathy. But remember:
Thank God for good things He has already done,
And be grateful to Him for the battles you’ve won,
And know that the same God who helped you before
Is willing and ready to help you once more.
With faith in your heart reach out for God’s hand
And accept what he sends, though you can’t understand.
For our father in heaven always knows what is best,
And if you trust in His wisdom your life will be blessed.
For always remember that whatever betides you,
You are never alone, for God is beside you.
