Memories of a man who wanted a divorce.
My wife is a good woman and we have a nine year old son that we both love. There is nothing seriously wrong in the relationship between my wife and me. Just that I had an affair with a beautiful and passionate young girl. Sex was something that my wife and I did not engage in that often even in the early years of our marriage. Perhaps twice a month. After the birth of our son, it slowly became less frequent till perhaps once a year or one time in 2 years. Not that it was not enjoyable. I enjoy it with my wife but it was something we do without real passion. With my mistress, it was so different. Her passion turned me on and we both enjoyed ourselves so much. The trouble is that she does not want our relationship to remain as an affair. She wanted marriage and kept pushing me to divorce my wife. When I finally broached the D subject to my wife, she kept silent for 20 minutes. I told her that she can have the house that we were staying in. I would fully settle the mortgage so she will not have to make any loan repayments after our D. She will also not have to get a job as I will pay more than enough each month for her expenses and those of our son including his education and music lessons. After the prolonged silence, she said that she said that property and money is not what is important to her. She would agree to a D if I fulfilled 3 conditions: 1) Our son is not to know of the D until after it has happened. 2) For 1 month, I have to carry her to our room every night. 3) I have to remain in the room for 30 minutes after I have carried her up. I do not have to be besides her for the full 30 minutes but just 5 minutes. I could do anything I like in the room for the remaining 25 minutes and could even leave the house after the half an hour in the room was up. If she had wanted to keep me away from my mistress every night for 1 month, that would have been difficult for me. Just 30 minutes each night is no problem so I agreed with her conditions and carried her each night. As time went on it seemed that it was getting easier to carry her. The half hour with her was not unpleasant as we both did not start any argument. For five minutes each night she would hold my hand if I was sitting beside her or have her arm over me if I was lying beside her. The rest of the 25 minutes was mainly spent by her looking at me with contented silence while I read a book or was on my notebook/hand phone. During the third week, she thanked me every night saying that she has enjoyed the time we had together. I started to give her a good night kiss on her forehead or cheek each night. With about 5 nights to go she started to fall asleep even before the 30 minutes were up. I did not leave after she fell asleep but remained for the full 30 minutes agreed. I watched her sleeping peacefully with a faint smile on her face. Oh by the way, I forgot to mention that our son was happy with the closeness between my wife and I and to see me carrying her each night. Perhaps in him mind, his parents were "doing it" during the 30 minutes we were together in our room 😨🤣 On the last night, she thanked me as soon as I carried her into the room and laid her on the bed. She said that she would treasure the memories of that one month for the rest of her life. I squeezed her hand a gave her a kiss on her lips instead of forehead or cheek (what I had been doing for the previous week). She moaned. Not in pain or sadness but with joy and pleasure. Seeing her enjoy a simple peck on her lips, I kissed her again this time a lingerring kiss. Making her happy is so easy and it was a pleasure to give her that. Although it was not the tongue in mouth type of kiss, I found myself enjoying the lips to lips contact with her. Something we have not had for so long. That last night, it was not me sitting beside her with her holding my hand. It was not me lying beside her with her arm on top of me. I lay on top of her and held her. No we did not make love. I would not have minded but she seemed too tired or weak. Happy with me on top of her she tried her best to stay awake. Instead of falling asleep after between 15 to 20 minutes, she was awake for 40 minutes before sleep overtook her. Even though I have spent more than the agreed 30 minutes I did not leave but remained in the room watching her. I did not go over to my mistress place that night. As I looked at my wife sleeping contentedly, I realized that like her I will always remember the month that I have spent carrying her. She looked so frail and weak and yet happy. Carrying her had become easier and easier not because I was getting used to it, but because she had been losing weight over the last 1 month. I also found that I was not looking forward to the D anymore. I knew that I would miss her after the D. When we were courting I enjoyed looking at my at that time girlfriend. Now I felt the same happiness and ❤ as what I had felt back then. I decided that tomorrow, I will surprise her with the news that I no longer wanted a D. So the next morning, I said, "Honey, I have something important to tell you. I no longer want a D" She did not answer. I move from the door of the room to beside the bed and repeated what I said. Still no answer or even a change of expression on her face. I bent over her, held her as I spoke with my mouth next to her ears. Still no response. I kissed her lips 👄 lightly. Those 👄 instead of being warm were cold. I shook her gently but she did not respond. She had passed away during the night. I found out later that she had been struggling against cancer without letting me know. I felt bad that our relationship had deteriorated to the stage that she could not trust me to stand with her. Perhaps she thought that I would abandon her even quicker had I known that she had cancer. The consolation that I have is that 3 persons have good MEMORIES OF THE WAY WE WERE. The last one month were good memories for my wife even though she did not get to enjoy those memories for long. Our son also have good memories of his mother. Never finding out that his parents were on the verge of D, he had good memories of their last month together. In his eyes, the relationship between his parents blossomed during that month. As for me, that month was also pleasant and will be part of my precious memories. I will leave my mistress so that my son will not find out about what almost happened. If it had happened, he will not have precious memories but sad ones of the state his family has turned out. It is best that my son thinks that his parents had a good relationship.Especially the last one moth was not a show put on for his benefit. Was that last month a show? For my wife it was not. She really enjoyed it. The first 2 weeks may have been a show for me. The latter 2 weeks were not. I definitely enjoyed the last week The memory of the last time I got to lie on top of my wife before she died is precious to me. I think that being in that position like in the early days of marriage was also something she was happy to have before she died 🦋 The adulterous affair robbed me of being able to say that my wife is the only woman I have slept with. However I am glad that I repented of the affair and the last person I lied on top of is my darling wife. I hope she will be the last person I try to get on top of. Even though my wife has passed away I want to remain faithful to her. 🦋

A story or parable that I came across.
I came across a story that was posted in a BBS board for people who like reading and want to post about what they read. I could identify with what was in the story https://bbs.market/READBBS/posts/P03Bv7lFXk0syOy07dH5?refBy=912514955724541618 I made several comments to the above post which explains how the story applies to not just me but to all of us.

Ezekiel Chapters 36 -39 Word of the season
When Wong Y Mi shared with us the Word of the season (Isaaiah 43:18&19) in the 2nd part of his sermon on 5 March 2023, he said that the word is not just for FGA but for the church as a whole. Instead of focusing on just Ezekiel Chapter 37 in my earlier post, we will look at Ezekiel chapters 36 - 39 to look at current events and what God is going to do. As mentioned in the earlier post Ezekiel 37:11 explains that the dry bones refer to the house of Isreal. Because the Israelites hardened their hearts and did not follow God, Jerusalem was destroyed and the Isrealites scattered to other countries. This happened in both the old testament and in the time after Jesus (Luke 19:41-44) In terms of Bible prophesy of end time events, we are now in the Church Age in between the 69th week and the 70th week of Daniel's prophesy. The Israelites rejected God and the opportunity is given to us gentiles to received and follow God. When the time of the gentiles is fulfilled, God will deal with the Israelites again and use tribulations to bring them back to himself. Romans 20:20-25. So when the time of the fullness of the gentiles has come (verse 25) , Jerusalem will be surrounded by enemies and the events of Luke 21:20-24 will happen. Ezekiel 38:2-5 shows who these enemies are. Gog of the land of Magog,the Prince of Rosh, Meshach and Tubal. Persia, Ethopia, and Libya are with them. Magog and Rosh are names that refer to Russia and Gog the the ruler of Magog/Rosh. Meshech refers to Moscow in Russia. Persia refers to Iran. Tubal and Torgamah (son of Gomer) has been used to refer to Turkey. Cush refers to the African region that includes Sudan, Ethopia, and Libya. The countries that will attack Israel during the time of the Great Tribulation are thus likely to include Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya, and Sudan (Ezekiel 38) Iran is a country that has wanted to destroy Isreal and has been sending arms to Lebanon and Syria (which are countries sharing borders to Isreal) as well as to the Hamas in the Gaza Strip next to Isreal. Iran is quite advanced in missile/drone technologies. It is on the verge of having a ballistic missile with a range that can hit Isreal. It is also on the verge of having a nuclear bomb. Isreal may attack Iran in the near future to destroy ballistic missile site and the nuclear bomb facilities of Iran. Iran has been supplying Russia with suicide drones. These drones with explosives have been used by Russia with great effect in Ukraine which is supplied with weapons by so many Western countries. In return for the help of Iran, Russia will start delivering advanced fighters and air defense S400 missiles to Iran from the end of March 2023. These will make it difficult for Isreal to carry out the preemptive strikes against Iran. This is why the window for the strike by Isreal against Iran is fast closing. Isreal may carry out the preemptive strike in the near future. You may be wondering why Syria and Lebanon on Isreal border and where Iran has placed a lot of precision guided missiles and rockets is not mentioned in Ezekiel 38. Recently Turkey and Syria has been hit by very strong earthquakes. These quakes has caused massive fault lines to develop and geologist expect even stronger earthquakes hit the region around Isreal, Syria and Lebanon. Isaiah 17:1 predicts that the city of Damascus in Syria will cease from being a city and be a ruinous heap. Could it be destroyed in massive earthquakes that hit the region? The combined might of the nations gathered against Isreal in Ezekiel 38 is so great that there is no way for the military of Isreal to defeat them. It is only by the devine intervention of God that Isreal will be saved. Ezekiel 38:18-20 says that when the armies are gathered against Isreal there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Isreal. Ezekiel 38:23 says that God shall be magnified and that the nations will know that God is the LORD. The Isrealites will also know that the LORD is their God from that day forward. Ezekiel 38:22-29. They will know that it was their unfaithfulness that made God hide his face from them for a season and sent them into captivity. In Ezekiel 36:19 -24 God has gathered the Isrealites from amongst the nations to which they were scattered and bring them back to their promised land. In 1948 the nation of Isreal was created. The land of Isreal at that time was a dry barren land. Ezekiel 36:30 "I will multiply the the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields." Ezekiel 36:34&35 "The desolate land shall be tilled, instead of lying desolate ... This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden." Isreal is now exporting a lot of food to other nations of the world.The success of Isreal as a nation is not because of the ability of the Israelites but because of the goodness of God to them. God has started the physical restoration of Isreal. However spiritually, most of Isreal is still stuck on the traditional practices and has not accepted Jesus as their messiah foretold in their scriptures. Just like the dry bones in Ezekiel Chapter 37 that has sinews, flesh and skin but no breath from God. Still not alive to God spiritually. God will use the trials and tribulations of Ezekiel Chapter 38 to bring the Isrealites to their senses. God will sprinkle clean water on the Isrealites (Ezekiel 36:25&26) and give them a new heart and a new spirit. A new spirit that comes with the breath or Spirit of God as in Ezekiel chapter 37. What applies to the nation of Isreal also applies to us who are non Jews. It is up to us to receive what God wants to do for us in this present age of the gentiles.

Ezekiel chapter 37
The theme of the sermons of FGA (the church I attend) is the Power Of The Holy Spirit. Bro Wong Y Mi was tasked with introducing this theme for his sermon on 5 March 2023. However he felt led to deliver a word for the season. So he devided his sermon into 2 parts. The first part was an excellent introduction to what the Holy Spirit enable us to do. The 2nd part of his sermon zooms in on Ezekiel chapter 37. In verses 1-3, Ezekiel was taken to a valley full of dry bones and was asked whether the bones could live. The bones were very dry, of many people, and were disconnected (not arranged as recognisable skeletons of Individual persons). After Ezekiel had prophesied over the bones as commanded by God, the bones came together bone to bone (verse7) and in verse 8 sinews & flesh came upon them and was covered with skin. But there was no breath in them. The word used for breath that is repeatedly mentioned in Ezekiel chapter 37 is "ruah". This is the same word that was used for the Spirit Of God that hovered over the waters in Genesis 1:2 on the creation of the earth. In verse 9 Ezekiel was told to prophesy that breath will come upon the slain that they may live. They lived, stood up and became a great army (Verse 10). Verse 11 explains that the bones refer to the whole house of Israel. This can be extended to include us the church of believers of Jesus. Are we dry, lifeless and lacking power like the bones in Ezekiel chapter 37? The ruah or Spirit Of God can revive us and make us into a great army as mentioned in verse 10. Which of the 3 areas mentioned by Y Mi in the first part of his sermon do we need the empowerment of the Spirit Of God? - Power to live a life of purity - Power to work - Power of Unity. We as individuals and the church as a whole, can be strong and be a great army for God if we have the Power of the Holy Spirit in all the 3 areas. Do you feel dry and have little hope as mentioned in Ezekiel 37:11? John 7:37&38 ..if anyone thirsts; let him come to me and drink ... rivers of living water shall flow from within him. Not only will our thirst be quenched but from us shall flow rivers of living water. So great is the empowerment of God. Which of the 3 areas mentioned by Y Mi do you need empowerment? For me, Y Mi's message is a confirmation of what God spoke to me when looking a the card of the mountain during pastor Wei Ai sermon. I saw myself as being unproductive in the wilderness. In a valley of dry bones in Ezekiel and myself as part of the bones. God is telling me to not see myself like that but to see myself as how he sees me. A mountain from which rivers start and flow to the plains or valleys. Isaiah 42:18&19 "Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth: Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:1-4 "But now, thus says the Lord who created you ... Fear not for I have redeemed you: I have called you by your name: You are mine ... Since you are precious in My sight, You have been honoured, And I have loved you."

Lobo - I 'd love you to want me.
This post is the continuation of Cowboy Afraid Of Horses. What happened on the week after my note was passed to you, Kit Oi? I sat at the last row of the class so that there would be no one sitting behind me as you walk out from the class. You did not say anything but had a faint smile on your face. I did not know how to interpret that smile. I hoped that it was an encouraging smile. But I feared that it was a sneer. My heart and my mind told me that you were not the kind of person to sneer. If you did not want to be friends with me, you would kindly and politely say so. But my insecurity and mega inferiority complex would not allow me to believe that. In a way I was glad that you did not say anything. If you had spoken to me what Lobo said in the song below could have literally happened. "When I saw you standing there, I 'bout fell off my chair. When you moved your mouth to speak, I felt my blood go to my feet" I would have been so afraid of what you will say. How I wish that your smile was clearer. If only it spelled one word, "Hi" That would be enough to have me on cloud nine. The last verse of Lobo's song says,"Now it took time for me to know what you tried so not to show" More than 47 years since I passed the note to you, I still do not know for sure how to interpret your faint smile. It is as enigmatic to me as the "smile" on Mona Lisa face (the painting by Leonardo Da Vinci). Was Mona Lisa really smiling and what was she thinking in the painting? What were you thinking as you walked past me in 1975? Kit Oi, I hope that I can find out the answer. 🙏 If anyone can ģet this message into the hands of Dr Kit Oi, Chung who runs Vauxhall Health Centre in Liverpool, UK, I will be so happy. She is someone I had always respected and still respect. It would make me very happy if we could be platonic friends.

Cowboy Afraid Of Horses - Lobo
Lobo starts the song by saying that he don't talk much and that he don't have a lot to say. As far as luck in love is concerned,"if it is not bad luck, I have no love at all" That song brings back my memories of the year 1975. I was worse than the opening line of Lobo. He didn't talk much because he didn't have much to say.⁹ I don't talk at all to girls i like because I am too afraid to say anything. I do not expect to have any good luck of having the friendship of any girl. I was 17 years old and have not tried to be friends with any girls before because I did not expect that girls would want to be friends with a 🐛 like me. I had been admiring a girl for over a year. She always sat at the front of the class while I sat near the back of the class. I did not even dare to look at her face to face and smile. So how could I be bold enough to talk to her. I was so strongly attracted to her but was too afraid to do anything. When she was around, I felt like what Lobo said in his song. I felt like a cowboy afraid of horses. A sailor scared to death of the sea. A magician with his hands tied behind him. Too terrified and unable to do anything. How could I approach her? Think of having a friendship but not doing anything except being a secret admirer. NATO : No Action Think Only This went on for about a year and time was running out. There was going to be another few months of classes after which I will not see her anymore. After much agonising I did something that would require only 1 or 2 seconds of contact. Pass a note to her when she was walking out of the classroom. After more than 47 years, I can still remember the exact wording of what I wrote in the note. I had agonised so much over what to write. " If you do not mind, I would very much like that we be friends" Those 14 words expressed my intense desire and also my fears/insecurity. I desperately wanted to be friends but did not expect her to want to be friends. What if she minded and do not want a friendship? What was her response to the note? On that day itself - no response. She took the note and left. The word used by Lobo could be used to describe her on the next class - "Nonchalant" I will use another song by Lobo to describe what I felt about her nonchalant response. To be continued in a separate post. PS to Dr Kit Oi Chung After you, I had minor attractions to other girls but it was back to being NATO only. untill the girl who would become my only real GIRLFRIEND came along. She is the only person that I have ever been on a date with. You and my only girlfriend are the only 2 persons who are special enough to make me non NATO. Now you know how much I admired and respected you .

He ain't heavy, he's my brother
The lyrics of the above song is very meaningful to those caring for someone they ❤️ "The road ahead is long and will have winding turns. But I am strong enough to carry on with my ❤️ one. He's welfare is not a burden.He's ain't heavy. Some people think that he's a burden to me. If I am laden with a burden, my burden is that everyone heart isn't filled with the gladness of ❤️ for one another." Because of ❤️ , caring for someone we love is not a burden but a joy. 🦋 My son, Moses, had multiple disabilities. He died at the age of 22 years in a car accident. There were people who said that it was good that my burden was lifted. I did not like what they said. Instead of being relieved of a burden, I lost the source of so much joy. How I wish that he is still around. He's ain't heavy, he's my delight ❤️

Dream, dream, dream
A post by Eric of what he felt when his relationship with Dawn was very bad:Whenever I want to be held by you or to hold you. Whenever I want to taste your lips 💋 of wine. Whenever I want to make you mine and be yours. All I have to do is dream. I have been dreaming for so many years. Am I dreaming my life away? Will my dream ever come true? I miss you so much that I could die. Perhaps it is better to die than to keep dreaming hopelessly. I am so glad that after 15 years or so of dreaming, the relationship between Dawn and me has been restored. Instead of just dreaming about Dawn we can now enjoy each other physically.

Don't Forget to Remember Me- Bee Gees
To my dearest Dawn, Some people who commit suicide leave a suicide note. The song by the Bee Gees is a message I considered leaving for you. I still see you at home. No it is no longer our home. It is just a house and we are housemates. My head tells me that you have left me but deep down in my heart, there is still a hope that you have not. You are so near and yet so far. It really hurts and I feel so sad. Sometimes I consider ending life so that I no longer have to face the fear of you leaving me. You are iike the photograph hanging on the wall. I can see you but cannot hear you speaking to me. I cannot feel you touching or holding me. I cannot touch you. I can only touch the photograph and imagine myself touching you. I can only dream of you. Dreams that remain as dreams. Perhaps I should leave this world. I hope that you will not forget me. I hope that what you remember is not the quarrels we have or the years of silence when we do not talk to one another. I hope that you will remember the ❤ that we had. I hope that you will remember us walking 🧑🤝🧑hand in hand. I hope that you will remember all the wonderful times we had together. 🤩🥰😍 Most of all, I hope that you will give me a little hope that life is still worth living. That I should not end it. I have tried to fill my life with other things. But I cannot and remain drawn to you. Will my dream of you being real in my life rather than as a photograph ever come true. I ❤ you. Your (am I still yours?) Eric. Perhaps what has kept me from sending the note to you is the scripture that with God All Things Are Possible. I am hoping that God will work things out between us.

She's not a burden, she's my grandma
The post about a family in Singapore reminds me of my deceased son and a song that was meaningful my family when we took care of him. Singapore is a tiny Asian country. It's government has been described as draconian. But it cannot be denied that good governance has enabled Singapore to quickly become a rich, well developed country. The Singapore government deserve to be praised for the care of its citizens and trying to improve policies and facilities that are already better than that of many other countries. As shared in the post, having an extended family involved is so important. Depending on just 1 or 2 persons for caregiving will burn them out. Awareness by others and by employers will help those who are caregivers. I am happy to see posts like this that helps to spread awareness. It reminds me of the joy my son Moses

Listen Up - Episode #1
Listen Up is a talk show on You Tube that is hosted by Brandon Ho. Listen up is relevant to the topic of MEMORE because it talks about topics that are relevant to life. Brandon won a competition conducted by one of the most successful TV stations in Malaysia, 8TV. 8TV organised the competition in order to identify talents who will be used by them as emcees on programs of 8TV. Brandon was a brilliant student who came from a poor family. He started working part-time in order to contribute to the finances of his family. Imagine how he felt when he had to serve food to his school mates when they came to eat at his father's hawker stall. Also when they see him washing dirty dishes. In another video Brandon was asked to share more about his background. He talked of how his family of 6 persons Including his grandparents have to share 3 servings of food. He also spoke of how sometimes they have to do without electricity because they could not pay the electricity bill. He won scholarships that enabled him to attend a private university, the prestigious Taylor's university from Australia that opened a branch campus in Malaysia. Even though he had a scholarship, he showed great drive and deligience and worked part time as did his university degree. He was active in extra curricular activities during his time at university. Being handsome and having a bubbly personality, he was popular in university. Having won the competition by 8TV, he also worked as an emcee for 8TV. He also acted in short movies posted on You Tube. During the MCO (Movement Control Order) period because of the Covid pandemic, he started the talk show, Listen Up. Because of the restrictions of Meeting up and working in offices being disallowed by the MCO, it is natural that the first 2 episodes featured Brandon with his wife, Phoebe. The topic of these 2 episodes is Boy Girl Relationships which is often shortened to BGR. Having healthy BGR is important and many people are looking for answers to what they encounter in their BGR In episode 1 of Listen Up, Brandon and Phoebe talked about themselves and their relationship starting from how they first met and the things they went through. Brandon and Phoebe are quite different. Brandon came from a poor family and was simple, do not bother about proper dressing, wearing shorts and slippers. Phoebe on the other hand was as described by Brandon an "Uptown Girl" who took pains to dress properly. Although Brandon was a popular person, he was insecure and lacked the confidence to have a serious relationship with classy girls like Phoebe. 🦋 enjoyed listening to Brandon and Phoebe talk about themselves and their relationship We can learn from them about BGR and what qualities are important when looking for potential partners. Watching the above video will show that Brandon is very accommodating to Phoebe. They enjoy friendly Banter showing that his accomodation is not being controlled by Phoebe but that he is happy to make her happy. They are practicing#happy wife happy family

Do you have an Annie in your life?
Annie's song is reputed to be a great love song. Most people who listen to the song think that they people in the song were in a fantastic relationship and the singer was singing about how great Annie is. While what is said above was true, things have changed. The relationship between the singer and Annie is no longer what it was. The singer is in great pain and It is such a blessing to have a Special Person like Annie in our lives She gives us so much pleasure and joy. She fills all our senses with delight as mentioned in the lyrics of the song. The sight of her face, smile, the curves of her body, a beautiful masterpiece captivates us. Touching her hair, face, the softness of her body, lying beside her. Hugs are delightful. Just holding hands or leaning against one another is nice. Kisses on various parts of the body is sensous and mouth to mouth kisses are in a class of its own as it involves the sense of taste and smell at the same time. Sense of smell includes the smell of shampoo, freshly bathed body, perfume, or even body odour. There is a saying that a person can be so enraptured that even fart is "nice". We enjoy talking with one another and her voice is music to our ears. However the person who fills all our senses with delight and takes us to the top of the world can also push us into deep pits of despair. At those down moments, 2 means of death would be welcomed. Laughter has gone out of the relationship and so to have so much laughter as to be drowned by laughter would be wonderful. When touch and hugs have gone out of the relationship, to be able to die in your arms is an experienced to be savoured. Mmmm.. that would be a very pleasant death. After the 2 lines on a pleasurable death, the singer pleads: - Let me lay bedside you - Let me be with you - Let me love you - Come love me againThese were things that he enjoyed so much in the past but have gone out of their relationship. No wonder he wanted to die in the ways he mentioned.

Nakedness of Adam and Eve - Part 2
In part 1 it was stated in Genesis 2:25 that Adam and Eve were both naked and were not ashamed. Note that the conjunction in the above verse is "and" not "but". The conjunction used means that they should not be ashamed of their nakedness. Why were they not ashamed? Inspirational@bbs gave a fantastic answer that there was no sin at that time. He did not elaborate so 🦋 will elaborate. There are 2 paths that can follow from the statement that inspirational@bbs made. The explanation that is commonly put forward was that Adam and Eve were covered with the Glory of God and so do not see the nakedness. After they sinned, they lost the glory of God and so became aware of their nakedness. An explanation that is acceptable. In Genesis 1:28 God blessed Adam and Eve and told them to be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth ... 🦋 believe that the progression of the relationship of Adam and Eve beyond what is in the post below to becoming one flesh in Genesis 1 :23 & 24 took place before Genesis Chapter 3 Was this blessing and instruction to them made before or after they had sinned? Genesis 4:1 says that Adam knew his wife Eve and she conceived and bore Cain. This happened after Adam and Eve had sinned. 🦋think that Genesis 4:1 is not the first time Adam knew Eve and Genesis 1:28 came before they sinned. 🦋 also believe that what Adam said in Genesis 1:23 that Eve is NOW bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. Genesis goes on to say "Therefore shall a man leave his mother and father and be joined to his wife and become one flesh. 🦋🦋🦋 Adam and Eve cannot be fruitful and multiply as instructed in Genesis 1:28 without joining together and becoming one flesh. The Now that Adam said in Genesis 1:23 was said after becoming one flesh with Eve and this happened before the fall of man in Genesis chapter 3. The becoming one flesh of Adam and Eve is 100% pure and in accordance with God's instructions in Genesis 1:28 After the fall of man in Genesis Chapter 3 , the relationship between Adam and Eve was no longer 100 pure because of the presence of sin. Sin aslo caused the breakdown in relationships between animals and between plantsSome animals became carnivores and plants also fought with one another below the ground for nutrients and water and above the ground for light like the thorns and thistles mentioned in Genesis 3:18 The relationship between Adam and Eve was no longer 100% pure like in Genesis 1:28 but now had the element of lust instead of a pure ❤️ So the presence of sin made Adam and Eve aware of their nakedness

What is the value of the painting Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci
According to Wikipedia : On permanent display at the Louvre in Paris, the Mona Lisa was assessed at US$100 millionon December 14, 1962. Taking inflation into account, the 1962 value would be around US$900 million in 2021.Artist:Leonardo da Vinci. Art galleries usually do not have just 1 valuable painting but a collection.The value of the paintings means elaborate measures have to be taken to ensure the safety of the paintings and to buy insurance for them. As a result, the price of tickets to enter art galleries with valuable paintings is very high. A lot of art lovers are willing to pay for the price of tickets.Once they are in the gallery, they can spend hours looking at the paintings there. Who painted the paintings in galleries? Artists like Leonardo Da Vinci, Picasso, Rembrandt have produced masterpieces that normal people cannot afford to buy.At most we can do is to pay the high price of a ticket to a gallery and admire the paintings there. How do you feel if your husband spend say an hour looking at you? More likely than not, you will feel annoyed. Especially if he look at you when you are not fully clothed. Are people like Leonardo Da Vinci, Picasso, and Rembrandt better artists than God? You are a masterpiece by the greatest artist of all - God . In the post below 🦋 wrote how Adam felt when he looked at Eve How would you feel if your husband look at you like that? How should you feel if your husband is enthralled looking at you like he was looking at Mona Lisa? As his wife, you have a God given position as the most beautiful masterpiece that he can ever see

What Adam felt the first time he saw a fellow human being
Imagine that I am Adam. God has been bringing animals to me. Some of them are cute and I petted or even hugged some of them. And yet there seems to be something missing with all the animals. I do not know what is missing but I have this feeling that all the animals I have seen so far is not something that I want as a constant companion or helpmate. One day God brought something to me that I have never seen before. It looks so like me. I must take a closer look. It has a head and face that is more like mine than in the case of all the animals I have seen so far. Our eyes locked. Just like how I have never seen anything that look like me the owner of those eyes has never seen anything that looks like it. Those eyes ooo...Not just those eyes but both those eyes and my eyes sparkled. We reached out and touched. Not covered with fur but smooth soft skin that feels so nice. Wow so beautiful! I wrapped my arms around her.She responded by wrapping her arms around me. Hugging each other feels so different from hugging the other animals. My 🧡 started to beat faster. I had a funny feeling that I have never felt before. I do not know what that feeling is but my 🧡 went bom, bom, bom like in the song below. That feeling that something is missing from the animals... No I do not have that feeling about this thing now with me. Yes this is the one that I want to be my constant companion and helpmate. The funny feeling that I have, I do not know what it is but it feels nice. Kind of warm, comforting feeling. Like something that is missing in my life is now here. I wish that this feeling will go on forever and have no end.

We have to comply with the rules of BBS
The BBS boards within BBS are independent and can decide for themselves what type of contents can be posted on the boards. Some boards are restrictive and only accept posts that fit a certain topic eg those that focus only on cryptocurrencies or a board that focus only on politics. There are also boards that will accept anything. Such boards have an advantage in getting new members and getting posts because they cater to diverse interests. BBS has recently announced that it would like boards to focus on one topicSmall BBS boards desperate to grow its membership can continue to accept anything under the ☀️. However such a choice may not be advisable. As a social media platform, BBS is new and tiny compared to established platforms like Facebook aka Meta and YouTube. Revenue from advertisements that BBS receives is tiny compared with the gigantic social media platforms. BBS is the only social media platform that gives 90% of the advertising revenue it receives to its users. This 90% is split equally between the current owner of a post (if you buy a post, you become the current owner until someone else buys the post off you) and the publisher (author) of the post. The advertising revenue that current owner and the publisher receive is based on the CPM rate X the number of Impressions The default CPM rate is 5 The CPM rate for BBS boards that have qualified for Engagement Mining is 150 It is difficult for small BBS boards to qualify for Engagement Mining. To help small BBS boards to grow, BBS has a Growth Seeding Program. BBS will give $1,000 to boards that are selected for the Growth Seeding Program to purchase advertisements that will boost their CPM rate to 150 In order to qualify for Engagement Mining or to be selected for the Growth Seeding Program, BBS now require boards to comply with the one topic policy. We can choose not to comply in order to attract new members. But that would mean that our CPM rate remains at 5 instead of having chance to get 150. The "one topic" can actually be a range of topics. For example a board can focus on Global Economics and Investment. The state of the global economy and the direction the economy is heading has tremendous effect on the value of our investments. It is also of vital importance in what we should do: whether to sell, buy or just hold and the composition of our investments by asset class such as stocks, bonds, real estate, cryptocurrencies, and precious metals. Memories Of The Way We Were focuses on Human Relationships and hopes to promote better Human relationships and to help those who are struggling in their relationships. Mental health of 👫👬 and their relationship with God has tremendous effect on their relationships with other 👬👫. The Bible says "By this shall man know that you are My disciples if you have love for one another" Jesus commands us to"Love one another as I have loved you" Learning how God love us and loving God will affect the way we love 👫👬 and relate with them. Based on the above explantation , Memories Of The Way We Were will welcome posts on Mental Health issues and the ❤️ between God and man and discussion of Scripture in addition to posts that deals directly with Human Relationships. ❤️ stories, encouraging quotes are also in line with our core topic. Global economics and Investments is another area that 🦋 write on but it is obviously off topic for a board like Memories Of The Way We Were. Instead of struggling to start another BBS for such writing , 🦋 has obtained the approval of the admin (owner) of another BBS board, Share It to start a channel for Global Economics and Investment in Share It
