• Reflections…..

  The theme in our church service this morning was “Reflecting Together”.  A church member which just so happened to be my Husband would bring the microphone to various church members who volunteered to share with the church events and feelings of God touching their lives this year and the blessings that God had bestowed upon them.  One was as a result of a hospital stay, the daughter of one of the church members received a scholarship and a job at a teaching hospital and also receiving the news that he was cancer free.  The one that touched me the most is when my Husband took the microphone to the front of the church so that he could see the person about which he was going to speak about.  In front of our whole church, he told them that God had truly blessed his life by having me as his wife and that he loved me very much…..In front of the whole church he spoke praises of me.  I was not embarassed and I was extremely moved since I really needed him to do something like this.  Jim would not tell a lie in God’s House.  Jim being moved to make such statements in the church has given me a gift that I will treasure forever and it has eased a burden in my heart.  It is such a joy to know that my Husband loves me and considers me a blessing in his Life especially after our marriage was tested and it survived the testing.   I put my faith in the Lord to help me survive the testing and to guide my Husband to the true path of happiness and joy.  The fire of the testing seems to have cleared the forest of our hearts and souls of the clutter and deadwood that accumulates during one’s lifetime and brought into focus the strength of our love for each other after all is said and done.  Jim loves me…….that knowledge alone gives me the strength and the security to take on whatever Life throws at me since I know he will be by my side with love and encouragement.  I love my Husband and my Husband loves me……all is right in my world!
