FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Heres what i think...i know,i know,always with my thoughts and opinions(:

Nobody's makin ya read it(:

If this was your last day with the person you love,would you want to spend it angry with them?or irritated?maybe its all the little things that drive you crazy,or maybe theyve messed up big time,and they deserve your anger.But if you send them off to work,without a kiss,or a warm embrace,or telling them you love them,and thats the last time you see them,and they never come home,how much you would have to regret! Tell him you love him everyday,be thankful for what you have,dont dwell on past or even present hurts,and everytime you kiss him,do it as if its the last time you might.This,you will never regret.

A little show from the chub

You are my Sunshine...(:

I have a sweet,sweet husband...

i really do...i cant even count the ways that he takes care of me,and spoils me,and sometimes i am just so undeserving!!!like the other day,he had to pick a few things up in town and came home with an entire case of these yummy low-carb drinks that he knows i like.he said"because i know you would never buy them for yourself".what a thoughtful treat!!!so every time i get one out of the fridge,and start drinking that sweet nectar,i have the extra treat of knowing it was especially from him(:

then theres the plane tickets that he helped buy because he knows how terribly i miss my dear sisters...so he's helping make it poosible for them to fly up to see me this year!!!isnt that cool?!

and he's just an all around helpful husband and daddy.he changes diapers,feeds the baby,packs the diaper bag,loads the van,takes me on special dates,makes sure my head isnt on backwards, helps cleans house,manages finances,compliments me constantly,kisses me daily,prays and heads up our family devotions,and im pretty sure he told me he loved me about 10 different times today...i could go on and on,and maybe i will...like when i dont wanna cook,he springs for chinese, and when i dont wanna do the dishes,he tells me to just leave them till tomorrow...wow...i really am spoiled rotten.AND I LIKE IT(:

on top of all that,he makes me laugh.im never happier than when im with him.hes pretty great.and i just want the whole world to know,that i love him so much,and would fight to the ends of the earth for him...he is my perfect soulmate,and i am so blessed to be his helpmeet

Praises

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,but against principalities,against powers,against the rulers of the darkness of this world,against spiritual wickedness in high places." Eph.6:12

This is a verse that has come alive to me this year.It has been a promise that I have clung to as i fought battles on my knees,and in turn watched as God fought for me.

Satan manifests himself in the most disgusting and manipulative ways as he tries to undermine marriages and Gods blessed institution of the Home.God has worked many miracles in our Home this year,and showered many blessings upon us for living for him and claiming his promises.Im glad to see this year coming to a close,but thank God for all he has taught me personally through the fiery trials he has allowed us to go through this past year.

He truly is Wonderful,and I just want to praise him for his Strength and Mercy in my life.
