One Month to Love!
This was an awesome book, check out my review and I wanted to share with y’all the “important” parts to me. This is by far not what the whole Day 1 is about, but just a glimpse of what I thought was catching, or needed to be shared. I will be going through each day, as this will be sorta like my “journal”.
There are 4 weeks involved:
Week 1: The Art of Being All There
Week 2: The Art of Acting Intentionally
Week 3: The Art of Risking Awkwardness
Week 4: The Art of Letting Go
Day 1 of Week 1: The Most Important Thing
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. ~C.S. Lewis
I don’t wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone. ~Javan
Key relationships, meaningful, essential people in your life, who are your three key people in your life.
Relationships aren’t machines. You can’t replace a broken part and be good to go.
Real love, whether romantic love, a close relationship, or a family relationship, happens long after first sight. Real love in relationships isn’t a magic ad; it’s a journey.
We have bought into the false idea that if we’re connected to huge numbers of people in cyberspace, we must be important and loved.
A real friend is someone who is with you – present in your life – someone who gives you their time, shares your hurt, and feels your ache.
With God all things are possible – Matthew 19;26
Three stages all relationships, whether a marriage, a family, or a friendship, go through: First Glance, Second Look and Lasting Love.
Lasting Love Relationship Challenge
