LOVE Is....

Jayden filling his daddy's big boots!

My Sweets ran these as a high school teen! I could never get the hang of it! There is a pretty girl at my grandsons school with bigger hair than Diana Ross wore in the 60's and she can clear these hurdles like a champ! I know her hair must weigh more than she does!

This is us trying to get through these winter winds! I have a new sinus infection. My Sweets pulled something in his right shoulder. We are a pair.
Now I am very late but I want you to visit Marydon and Sherry. Have a beautiful day!

LOVE IS.....

Today I am going to share two Love is... with you! I was having a hard time deciding so decided to share both of them!

This one touched my heart! Do you know my friend Theresa? Her nephew Justin recently returned from his military assignment in Afghanistan! We had all been praying for Justin and his fellow Marines and it was good to see that he arrived home safely! In fact, I still pray. I think these young men and women could continue to use our support and prayer in their daily lives while they are away from a war zone and back at home with their families. I know Justin's mom Cindy is tickled beyond belief to have her son safely at home!

When my Sweets sees this behavior in public he says "Get married and get a room!" In our society today we lack humility and modestly. In fact, I often wonder if most of the younger generation  knows what those words mean! I think it is due to all the celebrity coverage and reality T.V. It tends to take away our innocence and often people just think that is how everyone acts! Ack! I am not judging here I am just stating a fact. I was once a single mother and I know the pain and frustration of people and their wickedness with their tongues!
But on a sweet note love tends to align those stars and your eyes are often filled with them and the moon shines on what seems to be only you and him! I really thought the whole concept of this was cute. Plus if you saw my "M" post for Alphabe Thursday you know I enjoy looking t the stars and the moon! I find God's handiwork so comforting. I will do a follow up post this week because I tend to get to wordy and you will be bored with me. So enjoy!

I hope you visit two of my other favorite friends Marydon and Sherry and come join the fun with Love is...today!
Jeremiah 31:35 Thus says the LORD,
         Who gives the sun for light by day
         And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
         Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar 

Love is... Rewarding Kisses

Happy New Year to all! No time for this kissing business, we were sound asleep at 11:20 P.M. last night! Laugh Out Loud! But we have a rewarding marriage so all was well while we were tucked soundly in our bed.

Life moves along quickly  and we are very grateful for all the beautiful blessings we have shared in the past year and look forward to more in 2012!

I am grateful for all of you here and wish you well in 2012. I hope we will continue on this journey . If I don't always come by to visit know I will get there eventually. It is a tough job trying to organize time to visit everyone here.

Today was a lazy kind of day. We enjoy these rare three day weekends so we take time to reflect and just kick back and relax.

Come wish Marydon a wonderful new year and thank her for all her effort organizing this Love is...each week. Come join us and share your favorites here too.

LOVE IS....

Ah...the good life! I always dream about it! I would love to lie on a beautiful white beach and walk along the shore of a beautiful crystal clear ocean! Listen to the waves pounding against the shore and collecting sea shells and maybe even enjoy whale watching! Ah....the good life.
But until I can make that dream come true I will recharge my battery with my honey by resting in his arms and enjoying what we have today,
We have fun, lots of fun. we laugh alot and I think that is a good thing. So today I want to share this Love is... with everyone.
Now please visit Marydon and Sherry and all the other participates of our Love is...
I m hoping to have another giveaway here soon so you will have to participate. Once you have your very own collection of these sweet little reminders of love you will love coming over and sharing your own with us.
Enjoy the week and when you visit Sherry make a note to go back next weekend for the Miracle Makeover Party. Each comment earns one dollar toward another fabulous makeover by Kelee

Love is...

As a young wife and mother I always wished I could have stayed home full time with my children when they were younger. I know the women's lib movement would tear their hair out hearing this but even today now that my kids are older I really think this is the best career ever!
I was blessed because my Sweets and I passed in the doorway coming and going with our kids. We found a teen age babysitter who was very responsible so if our days overlapped she would watch the kids until the other parent got home! Our kids were always happy and healthy in their own home. It was the best situation we could afford!
So if you can bake cookies instead of having a career, just do it! I think your kids will appreciate your sacrifice, although they might not show it until later in life.
Recently my Sweets celebrated a birthday! Our middle daughter bought him a book titled "Why A Daughter Needs A Dad" (100 Reasons). It is filled with photos and simple verses about being a father to your daughter. Our middle wrote her own thoughts on sticky notes and placed them under the other quotes. It really made us both feel wonderful that having one of us always available to talk with her in difficult situations was a tremendous blessing.  She felt that we were always there for her no matter if she was having a good time or bad! We were glad we could be there for our kids when they were younger and now they can be there for us as we get older!
This little Love is...is tiny so I hope you can read it ok. Then you can visit Marydon and share your Love is...with all of us.
Now let me announce the winner of the Love is...Wild Ride Book filled with Love is...to use for your very own participation in the weekly Love is...
