as my dh is leaving for eight days on Sat to go to New Orleans to do some clean-up and rebuilding. Reading Erin's blog makes you think about how quickly life can change.
I was trying to think of some things to do with DH tomorrow that would be *special* for all of us. I think that just being together and getting to have some quality time will be special enough.
Thank you for your posts! We will pray for erin and her husband.
God bless you!

I thought I read one time on your blog that you went RVing with your children. I'm going in a few days on a road trip myself and I was hoping you could help. Details are on my blog. I hope you can help:)
Last night I crawled in beside Dh and laid my head beside his...on his pillow...and could feel the warmth of his sleeping breath on my face....and remembered the very first time I felt his breath close...and how he smelled...and it all came flooding back. And I laid there in the dark thinking about the day...someday....when I wouldn't fall asleep under that closeness, next to that warmth. Oh, everyday with this man is a GIFT. One I don't deserve.
Yes, Amy--YES!
Keep reminding us.
All *is* well,

Hi Amy! Thanks for sending me to Erin's site. I will definitely be praying for her and Steve. I thank God every day for my dear husband! I know I don't deserve him or my beautiful children-- and yet God chose to bless me with them. Thank you for your ministry to all of us in reminding us of what is truly important and helping us to bless our husbands!
Amy
Thank you for sharing Erins blog and for sharing her struggles so others will be praying for her. You are a dear sweet sister who has a heart for others.
Blessings to you

Thanks for sharing with us about Erin and for reminding us that we truely only have today to bless our dh and children because tomorrow is so unknown. (I am not sure my email is working well - did you get my email re the books?)
Thanks for the note on my blog. Also, for this most recent blog. I think marriage is the easiest to take for granted... "didn't he say he would love me for better or worse??" I think it is so easy expect our husbands to love us even if we are not putting out any effort to love them. How one sided! I read a book that was so gripping and made me cry and repent. It is not even a Christian book. It is by Dr. Laura Schlessinger. The title is "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands". A year and a half ago I went to the States on my own to do some itineration. Bill stayed back with the family and my older daughter took care of the house for me. When I came back to Thailand after 5 weeks, I was totally ready to see my husband again!! I felt like we were starting over. Our love felt brand new. Then as time passed, things went back to "normal." This book helped me see that our men need love too. Thanks for your encouraging blog. It has helped me keep my focus on keeping our love alive. Bless you.

Thanks for posting on my brand new blog. It has been wonderful to get up this morning and check my blog and read the comments. I have read the blog by Erin and am praying for them all as a family. It is so hard to imagine going through something like this if you haven't experienced it personally but I believe God has gifted us with a big dose of empathy so that we can share in other peoples sufferings. I struggle so much with taking my husband for granted but it is a good wake up call to get things back on track.
I too am going to put you on my friends list and I am looking forward to getting to know you better.
Love and God Bless

For letting me know about Erin's situation...I'll be praying for her and her husband.
And yes, it is all TOO easy to take our wonderful husbands for granted... It just so happens that I am up way earlier this morning than usual... and so shall have some extra time to do some of the things he's been wanting me to do around here (like paint!).;-)
blessings to you and yours~
Thanks for getting the word out about Erin and Steve. I am on a list with Erin and have been able to stay up-to-date with what is going on. Nice of you to get others involved in praying for the,
Thanks for pointing us toward Erin's sight. Wow, I have it sooo easy right now. The ideas of spending our time like we might not have any is a great thought. The kids and I alreay have some ideas for tomorrow, my honey will be blessed.
Blessings,
Andrea
I stopped by Amy's place and will be praying. My dh fell off our roof a few years ago and I remember the fear, shock, and unbelievable love I felt for him. I learned then to not take my dh for granted. We never know when our time will be up and we need to make the most of it.
Blessings,

How terrible for Erin and her family. Through God's grace may everything work out in the best way!!! I will be praying for them too. My heart goes out to the entire family.
Sometimes the things you write about, especially in context to our husbands, knocks me right in the head! (In a good way!) Working on my relationship with Mike is huge and something that I need to be more intent upon. Thank you so much for all of your good advice.
You and her made me feel this same way and I'm thankful. I pray the same things about my own attitude/actions/reactions to my blessing of a husband too but still behave in unGodly ways. You put things very well, it explains it so clearly. Thank you. And I did go to her blog. I'll send the link to the Above Rubies group and my own. God bless you and thanks for helping me ;o) Rhonda.
I implemented some SHMILY ideas recently and I just wanted to tell you that it would be hard to wipe the SHMILE off my hubby's face. (Or mine, for that matter!!!!)
and a woman seeking the Lord's Will (daily), a wife (striving to keep the romance alive), a "Smamma" (Step- mother) of one and a homeschooling mom of seven (I was never going to have children), who starts every day over (after messing SOME thing up the day before), knowing God's grace is overflowing (just like my laundry), and so thankful He's blessed me more than I'll ever deserve.
