Judge not, that ye be not judged or Smile you are being watched!

Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

I hear time and time again from different people “Judge not”.  Some people like to use this verse to cover up their sin.  They tell the Christian and pastor to Judge not or don’t tell me what to do.

Write a love note put it in a Bottle and hide it somewhere you know your spouse will find it.  You can put it in a box of chocolates by opening it and then resealing it with the letter inside.  You could order pizza and have them cut it in the shape of a heart then if you go pick it up you can slip in the love note.  You might want to have it in a plastic bag so the note is readable once they get it.

If your spouse reads then find a page in their book that they have not yet read and take a pencil and underline letters that when written out spell out a message of love to them.  If you leave before your spouse in the morning then go in the bathroom and use a bar of soap to write a love message on the mirror.  Find ways to give them a message of love any way you can using a secret code only you and they know about.

Time is Relative
A Second touching a hot stove feels like forever,
An hour seems like a second holding your hand,

A Minute at the dentist is like torture,
Yet a Minute without you I can not stand,

An Hour waiting in a line is so boring,
With you by my side it seems so tame,

A Day out in the cold is so severe,
Snuggled up to you does not seem the same,

A Week without you near me,
Each day counted until your return,

A Month of marriage with you,
Fills my heart with gladness and a glow that does burn,

A Year of looking back at our life,
Makes me happy we are together,

A Lifetime of love and friendship between us,
We can survive any weather.

- Nathan Stanford
(This poem is to my wife)

When I first saw you, you took my breath away.
When you first talked to me, I couldn’t think.
When you asked me out, I couldn’t respond.
When you touched me, I got shivers all through my body.
And when we first kissed, I floated away in my dreams
(I found this on the internet and I liked it and wanted to post it to you baby)

Pick your partner up for a date and blindfold her before driving to a special destination. Try to make the destination something really unexpected like a table set up at the top of a cliff or a dinner on a boat or old-fashioned ship.  You want the location to be dramatic.  Maybe even a museum or a play anything she would not expect but would love.  It needs to be something that will have an impact when she removes the blindfold.
