Healthy Relationship and Someone's Birthday!

Sometimes in life, including myself we look at how we can gain and benefit especially in relationships.  What is in it for me?

Having a relationship with some one should be mutual and selfish less and not self centered.  Of course, relationship are always evolving and we may have feelings of hate, jealousy, and self ambition but, looking at the relationship it should be healthy and nourishing and feeding both involved. 

I believe Good relationships happen when you really were not looking for it.  Relationship will undergo ups and downs but, a true friend is someone who knows the whole truth, knows the truth about you and still loves you.  True love is when someone puts others before themselves just like our savior Jesus.

I try to teach my children that you are going to have a lot of acquaintances in life people you will socialize with, work with, meet at church, school but, they are not always true friends. 
True Friends are rare, and when we find that relationship we will have honesty, openness and encouragement.  True Relationships = Healthy Relationships. 

 None the less, Someone turned 10; this was taken last year when she turned 9 and I love her face! 

Here are a few pictures from last years birthday party with great friends, we did a Frozen Theme/Swim Party. 

This year we spent the weekend in New York City and had lunch at the American Girl Store to celebrate her 10th birthday ! 

This year's party was smaller and only involve my husband and I, brother and a set of grandparents.

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends"-John 15:13
