Marriage
Two great quotes from Jody's blog. Thanks, Jody.
"I pity the married couple who expect too much from one another. It is a foolish woman who expects her husband to be to her what only Jesus Christ can be: always ready to forgive, totally understanding, unendingly patient, invariably tender and loving, unfailing in every area, anticipating every need, and making more than adequate provision. Such expectations put a man under an impossible strain." Ruth Bell Graham
"Unfortunately...we've become romantic gluttons. Instead of giving thanks for romance when it comes, we crave it, demand it, and even build our lives around it. We rarely give ourselves the opportunity to experience the more steadfast satisfaction of loyalty, commitment, and responsibility." Gary Thomas

So true, so true. That's a very good quote, and all too easy to forget.
We miss you here too! I think of you so often, and have lots of things I would like to chat with you about. I'll have to send you one of my looooong e mails : )
Oh, please do ... I'll be waiting for that email. How's the house sale coming along?
Great quotes -thanks for the reminders.
