WOW!! This has been one busy week. We have been working diligently on the kick-off of this site. We are soo excited to have lots of avenues of savings in the works for you!! Please hang in there as we are in a growing phase of our site. We are consistently working to get you the best in values everywhere. Keep watching for our membership based pages. These are what we are really excited about!! They will offer so much to you for so little!!
                                              
I would like to talk about LOYALTY. In today’s world LOYALTY seems to be a thing of the past. People leave their jobs. People get divorce as easily as putting on their clothes. LOYALTY isn’t something you can always find in friendships…
So what does it mean to be LOYAL?
My mom instilled in us the “virtue” of LOYALTY. Yes, I said virtue. She taught us to be LOYAL to family, to friends, to companies we work for, and businesses we use. She taught us that LOYALTY is a value. Here are some examples of the benefits of LOYALTY:
Jesus: I think the scripture on the Home page makes that one pretty clear!! (grins)
Family: There is a bond that cannot be broken where there is LOYALTY. Unfortunately so frequently these days people can “take you, or leave you”. In marriage the LOYALTY bond can NEVER be broken. If you break it, your marriage WILL suffer. In other familial ties, sisters, brothers, mom, dad, there is a certain level of trust and bond that helps your family members to support you in whatever you do. If you are LOYAL to one another you have the ability to walk through fires as well as enjoy blessings in the loving LOYAL arms of family members.
Friends: When people realize you are a person of LOYALTY, they develop a security and trust in you that is almost infallible. They will learn that you can be trusted with secrets but trusted to tell them the truth as well.
Companies(you do business for and with): LOYALTY is something that takes a while to develop with businesses. They want it. You are a good customer and they want you to stay with them. Recently, I cancelled my Vonage account (not because of anything bad). We needed to make some adjustments in our budget. I will tell you that because I have been a LOYAL customer for 5 years, they were begging me to stay!! They offered me almost everything including the moon to stay!! Also, I recently changed my account to Verizon. AT&T is not a bad company to deal with. Their coverage area just wasn’t what it used to be for my area. In both these cases when I cancelled my policy, I was very honest and direct with them. This is another form of LOYALTY. I didn’t just go speak badly (gossip) about this company. I explained why I was canceling as well as gave them an explanation of everything I did to have better service and when all else failed I made sure they knew why I was leaving so that they can work to better their company.
 
So here it is in a nutshell: On the home page there is a scripture, the Word always has a way of clearing up any matter you need to deal with in your life. I would say if you have the ability to be LOYAL to the Word and our Lord going on to develop LOYALTY in all areas of your life is going to happen pretty easily… LOYALTY requires development. Fortunately, my mom taught us LOYALTY from a young age but it is something we have to continually work on. Especially these days, where it is so hard to find it. So next time you are dissatisfied with how your sister treated you, or that your friend didn’t respond the way you expected, or that business deal wasn’t exactly what you were looking for don’t take the easy road and leave the relationship…take the road that carries all of the blessings that go with good solid LOYALTY!!

So check out the schedule and register for a class!!

Re: Loyalty: Do you have it?

Yes, I have it. You are so right, Jennifer, Being loyal first to Christ and the Word makes loyalty in our other relationships a whole lot easier. This was a great article. I look forward to reading more.
