My man playing with my children.proving to be a very productive time without my man. only because my brother has pitched in to help me sort my backyard. Since we did the biggest loser comp. it has been full of sports equipment. I do have a lot of stuff to get rid of! Purging I think is great for the soul. Including old attitudes!
I miss myles. I knew I would but it's not his presence like I thought I would. He is such a big help with the children and weekends we spend even more time together. It's not in relation to the kids. I just miss my hubby.
Absence does make the heart grow fonder. We have been together 19 years and I realise he has changed so much in the last 10 years or so. It made me realise something about myself. I still treat him as if he's the same. Instead of learning to love and appreciate who he is now.
It doesn't help that the man I fell in love with was so awesome and ahead of his time! But now at 40 he's learning what it means to be him, who God created him to be, warts and all.
I am one of the lucky ones. My husband is supportive and loving and he never stops trying. He's forever trying to accommodate me. And I need to do the same with him. Old attitudes of mine have no place in this new family of ours.

Tali: so good to hear from you. Yes i've posted that song before. someone I know could use the words and I am praying she reads the blog. she is my neighbor and has never visited my blog. she is a "christian" but only in name, meaning she did say a prayer of salvation but....she is not really living a life for the Lord. Hard to explain. also i need to remind my self of those words right now. am struggling with a little thing but sometimes it seems huge. Hope you are enjoying your time with the kids and that your hubby comes back soon. the pic is just beautiful. you have a gorgeous family!
hi faith. The words were so real for me that i remembered it. It was great to read it again. I hope it helps your friend.
It's funny how something small seems so huge to us. I was struggling with something recently too and the LORD showed me that it really wasn't that big a deal. But it felt like it and it occupied so much space in my mind that it kept me up at night!
He took my eyes off it and showed me wonder in my life with the smallest of things. I just had to replace what was on my mind with a much more powerful and positive image of my loved ones enjoying themselves.
