How sweet it is....

to be loved by Doug!!! Ok, so I'm being a little silly and mushy, but my husband is so very sweet. Last night, knowing how down I've been the last couple of weeks, he picked me up from work and took me to a very romantic Italian restaurant. Then when we sat down, he presented me with a red rose and a card that said it all. It made me cry (happy tears for a change!). He even gave up a day of golf to take me out! I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life. After all the things that I have been through, to feel so loved and cared about is just an amazing feeling. And to think, how much more than that my Heavenly Father loves me. In my husband's love, I see a reflection of the love that God has for me. He cares so much for me. He loves me even when I fall, which I do so many times. He picks me up and sets me on my feet again and loves me even when I'm at my worst. It's really quite amazing and wonderful!

Thoughts for Today...

1. I am not in control....God is!
2. Pray without ceasing.
3. Give thanks in all things.
4. Love never fails.
5. God IS love.
6. Don't worry about tomorrow.
7. Rejoice in the Lord always.
8. God will never leave me or forsake me.
9. Miracles happen.
10. Faith can move mountains.

In the darkest times, when my heart is breaking and my soul cries out for help....my God is there! He loves me and showers me with his mercy and grace. I am not alone. Everything I am, everything I have is because of Him. He has blessed me with two beautiful children. They are His. I love them with all my heart, but I know He loves them even more. He has a perfect plan for each one of us even when I can't see it. Faith....I must trust that He is in control and will make beautiful things from our lives.
