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! ♥️

Kinsmen Redeemer

Ruth and Boaz are my favorite biblical love story! Have you read it? It is 4 Chapters of love in the book of Ruth in the Old Testament. Her is my version in a nut shell-hopefully just enough to get you reading! Husband dies. She stays with Mother-in-Love. Return to MIL's homeland. Ruth goes to Boaz's fields. Picks up left over grain. Boaz ask workers to leave grain. Boaz is Ruth's kinsmen redeemer. Lays at his feet. He protect her honor. Learns another to be kinsmen redeemer. Talks to him. Happily ever after! Here is how this love story plays into my life! My mom had a less then a perfect home life. My grandmother eventually sent my mom to live with the Blake family (I love family names?) This family took my mom in as their own. They provided for her and shielded her from her painful childhood-or lack of. She moved in as a child and left a woman. Her cousin Ann (which is our Lydia's middle name) became her sister as well as a mother figure. Lucky for me, Ann married Mr.

Christmas Cards and "More Dezus"

Image
I am less then eager to take the nativities and Christmas tree down this year. I love hearing 2 year old Blake yell, "there Dezus(Jesus)" or "more Dezus" when she sees a nativity. When praying at night she will pray for "More Dezus" as if that is His name, but what a great prayer....praying for more Jesus and less us, in our lives. My friend read in Home Life magazine last year a cool idea she suggested I share with you. Instead of throwing Christmas cards away or taking them to the recycling center, put the cards in a basket and pull a card out each week to pray for that sender(s.) What a great idea!! If you sent us a card or put a card on a gift.....we will be praying for you this year! If we don't have enough cards to get through the year, we will repeat so you might get 2 weeks of prayer out of us! Hey, if you are glad Michele shared this idea-post a shout out to her! When we draw out a card, we will be praying that the sender knows Jesus as their
