I am just so filled with thanksgiving this morning for my husband. I've tried to think back of a funny or romatic story I could tell, but I've already told in this post  of how he asked me to marry him and other things I have thought of I have already shared in previous posts. But, again I am so amazed by his sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. We are often leaders of our praise and worship at church and do a special song many Sundays. I am always humbled when the Spirit speaks through him at those times. He will open his mouth to introduce a song or tell why we chose a certain special and more often than not it is not my husband who does the talking, know what I mean! He will be touched by God and tears will flow and I imagine he touches everyone's heart, including mine.

We had a terrible tragedy in our small town last week. A madman who was a client a young realtor with 2 children ages 1 and 2 walked into the realty office and asked the realtor for a meeting in the board room about his house that had been for sale, and took out a gun and shot him execution style in the head. He died at the hospital. Please pray for this family! I believe they were saved by God's grace so my hope is that he is walking Heaven's shore today!

That tragedy got my husband thinking a lot this week about how fragile our lives are. So, yesterday, we sang "Just a Closer Walk with Thee " and he began talking about how we are never promised tomorrow. We just had this tragedy in town this week of a man who never ever would have woke up that day expecting that to happen. We are all promised one thing for sure, we all will die at some point, but we have to be ready each day. Eric talked about how we have to yearn each day to be closer and closer and closer to the Lord. We have to be careful not to let the business of our days interfere with the relationship we have with the Lord.

Again, I am so thankful today for a husband who is tender to the Spirit of God speaking to him and through him!

"Just a closer walk with thee. Grant it Jesus, is my plea.

Daily walking close to Thee. Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Now I am weak and Thou art strong. Jesus keep me from all wrong.

I'll be satisfied as long as I walk; let me walk close to Thee.

Through this world of toil and snares. If I falter, Lord, who cares?

Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee."
