Marriage Monday *Valentine's Day"

"My Most Memorable Valentine's Day Ever"



February 14th of 1998 we were sitting in the nursery of the daughter that I had dreamed of for 16 years. My husband looking in my eyes telling me to hold on it will be soon. I beheld the crib the quilt upon the wall. It was really going to happen. A child. We were going to have a daughter. He held me as we were so close but so far. I just looked in his eyes and I believed. He had made heaven and earth stop just for me. The desire of my heart was not diamonds or rubies... Not chocolates or trinkets but a child. I longed for 16 years to hold a child ...my child.
Sitting there in the nursery we held the photo of a little girl half a world away. My little girl our daughter. A child who although not born from my body but one that grew in our hearts. That was the most memorable gift of love that I ever received from my Beloved.

How wonderful. That is a very special Valentine's Day.

Last year on Valentine's Day we got our Letter of Invitation to travel to Kazakhstan to adopt our son. That was my best V-day ever!

I had not heard of Marriage Monday before... I will have to check this out.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

By Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
