Our Marriage Confession


We've been married for over 20 years....but...

I do NOT complete my husband.

I am NOT his soulmate.

I am NOT his best friend.

AND

 I am NOT the one his soul longs for.

 So much for a Happy Valentine's Day for us.   

 Here's the truth.  

 We are 2 imperfect people, living imperfect lives, raising imperfect people as we go about our days trying to share truth.

 The truth.

 Jesus Christ completes my husband.

 Jesus Christ is his soulmate.

Jesus Christ is his best friend.

Jesus Christ is whom his soul longs for. 

And this is all the better for me!   My Dear's love for the Lord lavishes on me, our children, our family, friends, and even complete strangers.   My Dear's desire for me, our children, and all others  is the same; that ONLY Jesus will complete us, ONLY Jesus is our soulmate and best friend and ONLY Jesus is who our souls long for.

I love this so much!! It is absolutely the truth!! Thanks for sharing. I believe people are so misguided and mistaken and are trying desperately to have a human fulfill or complete them and that is such a lie. The world would like us to believe that a human can fill all those things you mentioned but our only true fulfillment is in Jesus!! Thanks for sharing! ♥️

Pretty Woman

I feel just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Women (except for the business transactions.) Since My Dear husband loves teenagers, we have been invited to attend the local prom as chaperons . Finally, I have gotten my dream date to the prom and you know how I like to dance! I thought of how fun this will be. Then it hit me, as it does every girl going to the prom WHAT WILL I WEAR? Since being either pregnant or nursing a baby for about 8 years, I stopped buying dresses unless they are maternity. I have a couple of ' stylin ' friends- one is the size of my leg but the other is pregnant with baby #6. I knew she would have a variety of sizes as she has been blessed with 5 beautiful girls (yes, they are beautiful) and the transition that comes after each of their births. Sure enough, Missi shows up with a variety of sizes, styles and accessories! See, I am Julia Roberts, minus the you know what. Here is what I have learned or have been reminded of in this "Mama sized" dress...

Cheerio Toes

No matter how tough the day has been, there are so many stages in my life that I want to savor and not forget. I am constantly reminded how quick 18 years can pass and each step of the way, our children will need us less and less. This morning, I walked around my nicely swept kitchen and rounded the bar to where our son had prepared a bowl of Cheerios. When I sat down, my socks had Cheerios clinging to them. Usually, it is my midsection food hangs on to but now it is my socks. One day my house will be tidy and Cheerio free. I took the above picture this summer when the neighborhood boys came inside to play. I don't want to forget the young feet that have felt welcomed and safe in our home. Nor do I want to forget how Lydia's pink shoes fit into the pile. I don't want to forget the piles of bibs that come out of a load of Miss Blake's laundry. I usually have to wash just to keep her in bibs. I treasure the memory of crawling into bed one night and My Dear's feet bein...
