Makes Me Happy

Here is your Monday STORY on: LOVE: Many people are aware of how powerful love is, but few would have a story to illustrate this. Today's story is similar to loss of custom in a business. You must treat everyone the same, with the same degree of love, care and attention. A failing business will often show the signs of no love. No employee cares anymore, so as a consequence their attitude spills over into customer relations. The customers feel aggrieved and take their business elsewhere. Where there is no LOVE there exists greed, a selfishness that consumes; this consumptions sucks out all appreciation. Your circle of customers or for that matter your circle of friends starts to decline. The mirror principle appears to apply in this situation. If you have no love, you reflect no love. It is as if you're trying to see your reflection in quick-sand. So it follows that without LOVE you lose so many attributes. Whilst today's story has no mention of the lack of love, it mentions what showing love can do. THE BISHOP'S GIFT Once a church had fallen upon hard times. Only five members were left: the pastor and four others, all over 60 years old. In the mountains near the church there lived a retired Bishop. It occurred to the pastor to ask the Bishop if he could offer any advice that might save the church. The pastor and the Bishop spoke at length, but when asked for advice, the Bishop simply responded by saying, "I have no advice to give. The only thing I can tell you is that the Messiah is one of you." The pastor, returning to the church, told the church members what the Bishop had said. In the months that followed, the old church members pondered the words of the Bishop. "The Messiah is one of us?" they each asked themselves. As they thought about this possibility, they all began to treat each other with extraordinary respect on the off chance that that one among them might be the Messiah. And on the off, off chance that each member himself might be the Messiah, they also began to treat themselves with extraordinary care. As time went by, people visiting the church noticed the aura of respect and gentle kindness that surrounded the five old members of the small church. Hardly knowing why, more people began to come back to the church. They began to bring their friends, and their friends brought more friends. Within a few years, the small church had once again become a thriving church, thanks to the Bishop's gift.

I am 21 years old I have gained some weight, but I don't think I look that bad. and everytime we do have sex, he just does like to get it over with. please help me.

Why did everything change so fast?
Ohk so I have this best guy friend of mine. We have been friends for 8ish years. Well recently I went threw a break up and he was there for me and stuff and I already kinda had feelings for him but he had a gf. We confessed how we have always liked each other and he wasn't happy in his relationship so he ended it. He didn't end it to be with me they were having problems for awhile &it became long distance. But for a few weeks we were very close. We hung out a lot. We ended up kissing and making out which eventually led to sex and I was completely happy because I thought we both really liked each other. However He said we both should stay single for Awhile because we havent really been single for a Long time (and I mean long!) so I accepted what we had for awhile then I was getting kinda... Jealous and stuff and I knew I was messing it up so I tried backing off. Then he lost his job and he was totally bummed out. Then we went on this trip to a friends and we hung out with this other girl and he totally started liking her and ignoring me. I was totally crushed. They even made out and idk what else. Now we don't talk as much or like how we were talking to each other before he started liking her. We don't act like we're dating and he text her all the time. I asked him if he even still had feelings for me and all he said was I dont know. I'm going threw a lot right now, with losing my job and my family issues. I told him I understood. It really sucks because I still feel the same way but I feel like he doesn't have any feelings for me anymore. I don't really know what to do. Why doesn't he feel the same for me anymore? What should I do? I Cry at night because I feel I love him and I was extremely happy for that short time and it's gone and I feel like I messed it up. Has this happen to anyone else? Sort of anyway ? Should I just be here for him as a friend? What makes him happy, makes me happy. Thank you. Also it was a few months after my break up that we kissed n stuf

I get feelings for one of my ex boyfriends everytime I see him, what does it mean and what should I do?
I dated this boy 2 years ago and after we split up we went our own ways and pretty much forgot about eachother (we go to dif schools). And I've had a few more bfs after we broke up two years ago, but for some reason when I see him occasionally and talk during school games, plays, musicals or partys I get small feeling for him, you know he makes me happy but I try to block it because it's not right*. But idk why this happens everytime I see him. I'll get feelings for him for a little while and then I'll go home and look at his fb but then I'll forget about him again until the next time I see him. I just don't know why it happens because I don't think I like him...otherwise I would be think of him all the time and I don't. I want to know how to stop this, these feelings and why does it keep happening?? p.s. * it's not right, because we aren't good together. We'll almost never see eachother, his sister hated me, he lied alot and use to pretend he liked things that he didn't,hes kind of an ass-hole and rarely cares of what others have to say because he thinks he's always right
