You are still amazing. Of course you still love your H, he is your H after all. Those that don't understand that never make it to this board. We understand. I hope you have an incredible Christmas with your darling children.

This was sent to one of the other spouses from her husband, also stationed aboard DH's ship. I love it!

Quote of the day:

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of sh!t.

Now I will go read what everyone posted to me!

SMW

Sandy--

You brought tears to my eyes when I read this, mostly cause I know you are talking about my spirit, not what I look like on the outside.

SMW

BobbiJo--

Your faith may be getting a bit dinged up, but I believe, in my heart, that God is working mightily in Dan, hence all of his wavering and struggling. When people question how I can love DH, I tell them that they are looking at him with the world's eyes. I have chosen to look at him like God sees him. I sometimes lose that focus and get frustrated with my DH and his actions, but when I give it back in prayer, God opens my eyes again. Trust in our Father, he will always reveal the truth.

SMW

Peter--

You are such an inspiration to me! You also always show up just when I need you! Everytime I peek in on your sitch, my heart overflows with joy for you, your wife, and your family. I hope you have a wonderful holiday, you so deserve it! I am looking forward to celebrating a Christmas with my children that keeps the focus right where it needs to be--firmly on the gift that God so graciously gave us--His Son, Jesus Christ.

"For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life." John 3:16

Such a simple verse, one that is the first that every child learns to memorize in Sunday School. A simple verse that is the nutshell of who we are in Christ. I recently read, and am re-reading, Max Lucado's book, 3:16 and now am only beginning to see the true depth of the love the Lord has for us, his children. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone.

SMW

Thank you--you are pretty cool, too!

Uhm, no, no thank you. Being a Bills fan would be worse than sticking hot pokers in my eyes--much like it must be for you to watch them play!

SMW

what's going on down here on the ground?

very graphic on that bills fan analogy there L.

LMAO

You can not re-iterate this point enough. Certainly for me anyway. Not like I don't know this. But putting it into practice is something that can now receive the real focus that it is due. Thanks so much Sis. I needed to hear that.
