These are some pretty strong words. But let’s give these words some serious thought and dissect the meaning of each word.

GOD: The definition of God is: The supreme or ultimate reality: Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped (as in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism) as creator and ruler of the universe.

Did you notice that in the title of my article God was first on my list of importance? How many of us are putting God first on our list? Is God being left out of everyone’s life? Could the vacancy of God being a part in everyone’s life be the reason our world is in such disarray.

FAMILY: A family is a group of two or more persons related by birth, marriage or adoption who live together; all such related persons are considered as members of one family; people who support and love you, and the people you can confide in and trust. From my blood relatives and friends to my mentors. God is the Key figure in building healthy, happy, productive families. The family unit is being challenged today. Children need to be loved to grow up to be strong healthy adults. Our strong family ties will help us through the most difficult times we will face in a lifetime.

COUNTRY: What is love of one’s country? Patriotism is the feeling of love, devotion and a sense of attachment to a country or state. This attachment can be a combination of different feelings for things such as the language of one’s homeland, and its ethnic, cultural, political, or historical aspects.

LOVE: How does the Bible define love? Scripture. 1 Corinthians 13:4-Ba (ESV) Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.

So how does God, Family, Country and Love have any correlation with the Real Estate industry? Did we ever think when we purchase a house, that it will soon become a home. Our home is the place we enjoy with our loved ones. A place to kick back and relax in a comforting atmosphere; a place where we will make lasting memories. It is your refuge. If we find love and happiness throughout the years in our home, God, Family, Country and Love will surely be present.

Thought for the Day: Do your best and God will give you strength to bear whatever comes. (Jefferson Davis)
