It’s very rare. Maybe once a year. But it still happens on occasion. And I just love it.
Has your husband ever left you a love note? Or did he write you love letters when you were dating? (I’m only slightly jealous if he did! 🙂 ) Maybe he sends you emails or brings you roses “just because”. Take time to thank him today for whatever way he shows you (or has shown you in the past) that he cares.
I'm so excited you stopped by! I pray your visit here will be encouraging. You will find books, and stories, and posts on infertility and adoption and faith.
I forgot my Bible when I left the house. I usually keep it in my purse, but we were in a hurry, running late. During these moments, I often return to the simple verses I memorized years ago. “Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done,…
It’s rainy today. The droplets splatter on the car, on my face, on the windows. I’ve been stressed, nerves stretched taunt and thin. I worried last night, as I lay in bed, that I just don’t have it in me to do the things God has called me to. I want to walk in…
It was the Sunday evening services at church that drew me close to God. The dark Alaskan winter nights and the warm glow of life and laughter and closeness that filled the sanctuary. I remember everyone singing, “We’re the People of God” and “The Love of God” and I would close my eyes, trying to…
Two days ago I was walking across the haymow with a small square bale in my hands when the floor disappeared from under me. The next thing I knew my elbows were cracking against the splintered edges of the boards and I was throwing myself sideways to keep from falling the eight feet down onto…
Depression. Even the word feels hopeless. I remember when I was in the worst of it. I was battling physical issues that caused hormonal imbalances, but there was something much deeper going on. An inside battle was raging. Scripture says that our battle is “not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,…
I was fifteen the first time I stepped foot into another country. The blistering heat, the half naked children running the streets, the stench of open sewers. It ruined me. Shook the core of my American idealist mentality. Left my soul thirsting for truth. I promised myself, right there on those dust covered streets, that…
So sweet! You are blessed!
Natasha,
I am grinning with you at this post and this series. Thanks for loving your ma and bragging on him. We’re supposed to be their biggest fans, I agree. 🙂 I have fun doing that too. (See my post “The Radical Choices After ‘I Do'” if you’d like.) http://www.jenniferdougan.com/2013/02/the-radical-choices-after-i-do.html
Have a great week,

The scrabble idea is awesome! 🙂 My man usually uses sticky notes and a few years ago he compiled all of our dating emails into a book for me. Sometimes, it is the little things like these that are so special. ~ Blessings girl, Amy
Oh, how precious!! What a marvelous idea, to make a little book. so, so fun!
Oh, that’s so sweet! Tell Amos that we love him too! This is the thing that I have loved about your posts—that we’ve learned to know Amos better through them! Love you, Tash! Aunt Judi PS I’ve written so many replies to your blog that never went through and I could never figure out why. Sometimes I “wasted” an hour typing something and it just got lost. I have been so frustrated! But I decided to put in my school e-mail address instead, and it has worked, so now I can respond! I’m so glad.
So glad you figured it out! 🙂
