It’s the simple things you miss most. Like holding hands in the car.
This one made me cry today.

Awww….your photgraphs would make the BEST scrapbook!! The little things are the BIG things in a relationship. I found this poem and had it read at our wedding 5 years ago…and feel it was important to know and understand, then will be just as important years and years from now. Many prayers being sent your way.
The Art of Marriage
A good marriage must be created.
In marriage the little things are the big things…
It is never being too old to hold hands,
It is remembering to say “I love you” at least once a day,
It is never going to sleep angry,
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives,
It is standing together and facing the world,
It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family,
It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways,
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget,
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow,
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful,
It is not only marrying the right person, it is being the right partner
Hi, I agree that it is the most simple things that matter the most. Like watching my daughter sleep in tomorrow because school is done for the year. I am thankful that I have her here today and she can sleep with no pain and also is well enough to attend school.
Thank you for the words from our Lord. I gave them to her and it truly helped. The verse is on her mirror, right where she can see it every day. Even if the day contains a visit to chemo clinic or just getting ready for the day. It spoke volumes to her. You made a difference just as she makes a difference in so many lives, just the simple things like a smile, a hug, an encouraging word.
One thing you are doing through this blog – while touching our hearts – is teaching us to concentrate on and appreciate all of the things so many of us take for granted.
I have lost a lot of people in my life (immediate family) – although not my husband – so I tend to think I appreciate things more than others. I’m very aware how fast life can change. Still, it wouldn’t occur to me to take a picture of my husband and me holding hands. Now I will do that, thanks to you.
Thank you for the reminder…..what a simple thing, yet such a BIG thing…we take them for granted so often.
I’m totally convicted by your post today…because I just got really mad at my husband who made a BIG boo boo in our checking account (it was an accident) and he didn’t mean to do it, but I got really angry about it….in the scheme of life, is it that big of a deal????? NO!!!!!!
Thank you for keeping me honest and for helping me to keep perspective. I’m so sorry for your pain….

being around you 2 was always something that I liked, because of the love you had for each other a comfortable, inviting Love. You 2 were really 1. In the way intended. An example.

I didn’t know what to say about this when I saw you today, so I didn’t say anything…It makes me cry for you. It makes me cry to Jesus for you.

Качество друзей тоже надо учитывать. Дональд Трамп, например, на двадцатку потянет.
