! There is more than one way to build a house

(Home Improvements 2)
It was Saturday morning as Jake, an avid hunter, woke up ready to go bag the first deer of the season.
He walks down to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee, and to his surprise he finds his wife, Alice, sitting there, fully dressed in camouflage.
Jake asks her: "What are you up to?"
Alice smiles: "I'm going hunting with you!"
Jake, though he had many reservations about this, reluctantly decides to take her along.
Later they arrive at the hunting site.
Jake sets his wife safely up in the tree stand and tells her: "If you see a deer, take careful aim on it and I'll come running back as soon as I hear the shot".
Jake walks away with a smile on his face knowing that Alice couldn't bag an elephant--much less a deer.
Not 10 minutes pass when he is startled as he hears an array of gunshots.
Quickly, Jake starts running back.
As Jake gets closer to her stand, he hears Alice screaming: "Get away from my deer!" Confused, Jake races faster towards his screaming wife.
And again he hears her yell: "Get away from my deer!" followed by another volley of gunfire.
Now within sight of where he had left his wife, Jake is surprised to see a cowboy, with his hands high in the air.
The cowboy, obviously distraught, says: "Okay, lady, okay!!!!
You can have your deer!!! Just let me get my saddle off it!"

*The building code of relationships (3 key factors to every relationship):*
1) You are made for relationships.
2) You are made with the capacity to choose.
3) You are made to take responsibility yourself.
* *
*1.) **Do our emotions lead our relationships?*
* *
*a) **We must learn to take control of our thoughts, feelings, and actions.*
Proverbs 12:5 (NASB95) The thoughts of the righteous are just
Matthew 15:19-20 (NASB95) “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.
20 “These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
*You can choose your reaction, and your reaction is based on your thoughts*.
Your thoughts are the basis for your feelings and reactions.
* *Are we a /negative person or a p/ositive person*…both boil down to their thought life.
In other words are we “Looking for the good’ or ‘Looking for the bad” in the people?
!!!! · KEY: What’s playing on your record machine?
The Broken Record or Symphony being played in your head?
Psalm 1:1-3 (NCV) Happy are those who don’t listen to the wicked, who don’t go where sinners go, who don’t do what evil people do.
*2 They love the Lord’s teachings, and they think about those teachings day and night*.
3 They are strong, like a tree planted by a river.
The tree produces fruit in season, and its leaves don’t die.
Everything they do will succeed.
Proverbs 23:7 (NASB95) For as he thinks within himself, so he is.
“Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity.”
—*St.
Augustine** (A.D. 354-430) * \\ \\
*b) You are part of the picture in every relationship.*
When all you do is focus on the other person as the problem, you’ve taken away your own power.
You make yourself weak.
When your focus is not on the other person, you vastly increase the odds of being able to enjoy some impact and influence in the relationship.
*/We never pray for folks we gossip about, and we never gossip about the folk for whom we pray!
—Evangelist Leonard Ravenhill (1907–1994)/*
*/ /*
*c) You can choose to do something.*
Are you interested in being a vegetarian, but concerned that you might not be able to adjust?
Not to worry…you can become a flexitarian.
As vegetarianism gains in popularity and increases its market niche, a variation has developed.
The flexitarian is a person who eats primarily vegetables, but also indulges occasionally with meat.
The designation fits people like 28-year-old Christy Pugh, who says, "I usually eat vegetarian.
But I really like sausage."
Christy says, "Sometimes I feel like I'm a bad vegetarian, that I'm not strict enough or good enough.
I really like vegetarian food, but I'm just not 100 percent committed."

Deuteronomy 30:19 (NCV)19 Today I ask heaven and earth to be witnesses.
I am offering you life or death, blessings or curses.
*Now, choose* life!
Then you and your children may live.
* *
* By focusing on the other we start to do unhealthy things like manipulate them to force them to stop pushing our buttons.
Dr.
Gary Chapman, author of “The Five Love Languages” advises couples to, “/focus on what’s in their power rather than on what the other person should be doing.”/
* *
*d) Your thoughts determine your feelings.*
Dr. Archibald Hart’s book /Habits of the Mind /says, “our bodies are the servant of our mind.
It obeys the operations of the mind, whether they be deliberately chosen or automatically expressed”
Control your thoughts and your actions will follow.
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NASB95) And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, *for power is perfected in weakness*.”
Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
*2.) **Take responsibility for your emotional buttons.*
Romans 12:17-19 (NIV) Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.
18 If it is possible, *as far as it depends on you*, live at peace with everyone.
19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but *leave room* for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
* *
/a) /*You have a choice of how you will react when someone pushes your buttons.-*Rom
12:18…* */as far as it depends on you,/
o Remember when your buttons get pushed they are yours, and you are responsible for them.
You are in charge of your buttons.
*b) **No one controls how you will react.
You alone do that.*
!! Rom 12: 19 …leave room.
!!
If you want great relations, learn this principle.
Don’t take the bait.
Consider the source.
Don’t ponder on it.
/ /
*c) **You are in charge of your buttons.*
Do Red lights make you mad?
You have a choice weather you get mad or not.
*Don’t give power to those who push your buttons.
*You have the power to choose.
* /“/*/It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord”/
*/ /*
*3.) **Don’t give others the power to control your feelings.*
Genesis 4:7 (NLT) You will be accepted if you respond in the right way.
But if you refuse to respond correctly, then watch out!
Sin is waiting to attack and destroy you, and */you must subdue it/.”*
· Do you rant and rave if you do not get your own way?
Freedom and responsibility are two sides of the same coin.
