What a Sim    ple Pleasure

to find last Thursday morning.

I was preparing the coffee pot

and looked out the window,

and right before my eyes

was a simple reminder

that He is mine

and I am

His.

Please excuse the space in the word but, how could I not resist.

The thought come to me to create a heart with the words,

but, I hope you believe me when I say it happened

right before my eyes with hardly no effort at all.

I only had to add the space between simple.

Is that not precious are what?

Most of the time I think

 someone else is typing

 the words and giving

them to me.

After, almost 24 years with my sweetheart the spark is still there!

I still get butterflies sometimes and he still blushes!

The spark may have dimmed at times and we had to blow

 the ember to make it light up again, but we never let it sit

and smolder long. There is where the danger lies.

I've been waiting to share this and I believe this is the perfect time.

A true older southern lady shared with me some ageless advice

from her Home Economics teacher (remember Home Ec.?)

It went something like this-

girls when he comes in from work

have his pipe ready, his coffee cup out, and his slippers waiting

and you have yourself fixed, because he has been at work

all day with pretty girls! 

I know things have changed since those days,

but men have not, they still desire the

same attention and respect.

THE KEY

It's not hard doing (that word most women don't like) submitting

when he loves me like Jesus Christ loves His children.

Ephesians 5:25

It just saddens me that wonderful
 girls and ladies

 have not had the opportunity

 and are not experiencing the way

 God intended a marriage to work.

  Hearts have been broken and lives have

been re-routed.  Not what you expected and

 not what God intended.

 But, HE is your hope!

O Lord, you alone are my hope.

  I've trusted you,

O Lord, from childhood. 

Psalm 71:5 NLT
