Good good all the time is the best

SO SÃD
Pratik Joshi lived in UK for 6 years while his family was in India. Everyday he spoke to his wife only on video calls. He strûgg|ed and applied for visa so his family could come, the first one was rêjected. He didn’t give up, he applied again for a second time and the visa was granted.

Pratik arrived in India to come take his wife and kids. They packed everything, said bye to neighbor’s and got on the plane to UK . Few minutes in the air the plane crãshed. All of them died , burnt to ashes.

Dear God , why will you even let this kind of thing happen ? Well, you know best and in the light of your will and plan, someday we too will understand better.

RIP to this family.

Hello GADA Family,

It's Friday and I am so excited. This is a gentle reminder that we've made it through another week of showing up, doing our best and learning through it all. Whether you're managing a team, running a business, or building your career one day at a time, take a moment to breathe and reflect.

- How did you lead this week?
- How did you show up for yourself, not just your work?

I believe in working with excellence and heart. Leadership isn't just about titles, it's about how we carry ourselves, how we treat others and how we honour our personal growth while pursuing professional goals.

So today, pause and celebrate:
The grace you extended to others and yourself
The quiet strength behind every task you completed
The boundaries you protected.

While we are celebrating the official launching of GADA Platform online, let this weekend be a soft reset. Reset. Reflect. Reconnect with your "Why" because next week, we rise again, grounded, focused and full of promises.

Selah!

In the quiet moments when we pause and gently release the noise that clouds our minds, a deeper clarity begins to emerge. It is then that the true whispers of our hearts break through—messages filled with wisdom, hope, and guidance that nourish our soul and illuminate our path.
Clearing away the distractions allows us to reconnect with our authentic selves, reminding us of what truly matters and inspiring us to live with intention and grace.
May your night be filled with peaceful reflection and your heart open to these life-enhancing truths. Wishing you restful night blessings and the very best for the days ahead.

BIG SECRETS IN MARRIAGE!

Secret 1
Everyone you marry has a weakness. Only God does not have a weakness. So if you focus on your spouse's weakness you can't get the best out of his strength.

Secret 2
Everyone has a dark history. No one is an angel. When you get married or you want to get married stop digging into someone's past. What matters most is the present life of your partner. Old things have passed away. Forgive and forget. Focus on the present and the future.

Secret 3
Every marriage has its own challenges. Marriage is not a bed of roses. Every good marriage has gone through its own test of blazing fire. True love proves in times of challenges. Fight for your marriage. Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in times of need. Remember the vow For better for worse. In sickness and in health be there.

Secret 4
Every marriage has different levels of success. Don't compare your marriage with any one else. We can never be equal. Some will be far, some behind. To avoid marriage stresses, be patient, work hard and with time your marriage dreams shall come true.

Secret 5
To get married is declaring war. When you get married you must declare war against enemies of marriage. Some enemies of marriage are:
Ignorance
Prayerlessness
Unforgiveness
Third party influence
Stinginess
Stubbornness
Lack of love
Rudeness
Laziness
Disrespect
Cheating
Be ready to fight to maintain your marriage zone.

Secret 6
There is no perfect marriage. There is no ready made marriage. Marriage is hard work. Volunteer yourself to work daily on it. Marriage is like a car that needs proper maintenance and proper service. If this is not done it will break down somewhere exposing the owner to danger or some unhealthy circumstances. Let us not be careless about our marriages.

Secret 7
God cannot give you a complete person you desire. He gives you the person in the form of raw materials.

"I lost my mom at 12. A year later, my dad got married. She came with 2 kids, aged 14 a boy & a 16 year-old daughter. We lived together in the house, with me being the youngest.

I wasn't exactly maltreated, but I was being discriminated against by her children, who always got the best of everything. Growing up in that house was complicated. I did all the cooking & chores, which was a relief compared to what could have been worse - physical abuse. I ate daily meals, though not equally portioned like her kids - they got bigger pieces of meat and extra helpings. I convinced myself it was cuz I was the youngest.

However, my stepmom's behavior changed slightly when I started excelling in school. She would: Compare my grades to her daughters', Limit my study time, saying "house chores won't do themselves" Make subtle comments like "You think you're smarter than my girls?"
Despite this, I still respected her as my dad's wife and the mother of my household. Years passed, & my dad retired from his job. In a shocking move, he agreed with my stepmom to stop funding my education, citing "financial constraints. Despite that i was the most brilliant one in the house.

I was 22 & had to drop out of college to support myself & also helping stepmom in her restaurant business. That's when I met my husband - a rich, kind man who asked for my hand in marriage. My stepmom initially rejected him, saying I was "too young" & offered her older daughter instead. But he insisted on marrying me. When he approached dad, he agreed to our union. The day of my wedding, Stepmom called me into a private room & tearfully apologized for how she had treated me.

I forgave her, & we started Afresh. For over a year, we lived happily. She'd visit me often, helping with advice & support, especially when I became pregnant. Later on, after giving birth to my son, my stepmom visited, with the initial plan to stay with me for at least 6 months helping with nighttime feedings & caregiving tips. But 3 days ago something terrifying happened... While holding my 4-week-old b"by, my stepmom claimed she was "extremely sleepy" & accidentally dropped her. My son was rushed to the hospital, where doctors administered: Oxygen therapy, Phenobarbital to prevent any seizures. Thankfully, my baby is fine now...

A week before this incident, I walked into the kitchen to find my stepmom preparing my baby's bath water - it was scalding hot!. But all she could say was she "forgot" to test the temperature with her hand before putting the b"by in. Luckily, & thank God I intervened just in time, & my baby was unharmed. So now I'm really confused & consumed by doubts: If my stepmom's actions are truly accidental, or actually intentional or could it be just an act of carelessness & if i should still allow her to stay & help for the remaining 5 months, or could my bæby's safety be at risk? Please, help! kindly guide me through this.

DONT BE QUICK TO JUDGE

At a wedding ceremony the Pastor​ asked if there was anyone who had any reason why the marriage shouldn't go on; it was time to stand up and speak, or forever let them hold their peace.

The moment of utter silence was interrupted by a young beautiful woman carrying a child. She started walking slowly toward the Pastor​.
Everything quickly turned to chaos. The bride slapped the groom.
The groom's mother fainted.
The bridal trail scooted towards the door.
The groom's men huddled together like a bereaved flock, wondering how best to help save the situation.
The Pastor asked the woman,
"Can you tell us why you came forward? What do you have to say?"
The woman replied,
"I can't hear from the back."

*LESSON*: Hold judgment until you've had all the facts. However, many times we Jump Into Conclusion quickly and beautiful relationships are ruined.

To the woman I haven’t met yet—or maybe I have…
You’re so much more than just the woman I’ll share a home with. You’ll be my best friend, yes—but also my peace, my passion, and my purpose all wrapped into one.
You’ll be the one I run to when the world feels heavy on my shoulders. When I’ve had a long day and all I want is to hear your voice, feel your touch, and be reminded that I don’t have to carry everything alone. With you, I won’t just breathe—I’ll feel alive.
Your laughter will be the music my soul dances to. Your presence will light up the darkest parts of me that I’ve kept hidden from everyone else. And your love? It’ll heal wounds I thought I’d buried for good.
When life gets tough, when I’m feeling lost, when the weight of being a man in this world feels like too much—you’ll be the arms I fall into, the calm in my chaos. Your kiss will be my escape, your touch my grounding force.
I’ll crave you—not just your body, but your energy, your mind, your spirit. Everything that makes you. I’ll admire the way you give, how you love, how you show up with heart, even when it’s hard.
With you, I won’t need to wear a mask. I won’t have to perform. I’ll get to be the fullest, most honest version of myself. And I’ll hold space for you to be the same.
I’ll love every part of you—your brilliance, your softness, your fire, your flaws. Not in spite of them, but because of them. Because they tell your story. And I want to know every page.
When you cry, I’ll be your shelter.
When you laugh, I’ll soak in every sound.
When you doubt yourself, I’ll remind you who you are.
And when you shine, I’ll stand in awe—because you are everything I’ve prayed for.
You won’t have to question my love.
You’ll feel it—in how I look at you, in how I listen, in how I show up, over and over.
You are my home. My soft place. My wild place. My forever.
And I’ll spend my life pouring into you the way you pour into the world.
Because you? You’re my love. You’re my life. You’re my future. And most of all…You are my everything.
