You are still amazing. Of course you still love your H, he is your H after all. Those that don't understand that never make it to this board. We understand. I hope you have an incredible Christmas with your darling children.

This was sent to one of the other spouses from her husband, also stationed aboard DH's ship. I love it! ****************************************************************** Quote of the day:
Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of sh!t.
I love the faith that you have, I am working on mine. It was actually my strongest gift when I did a spiritual gifts inventory about 7 years ago....it's just been dented a little lately..
I love what you said about still having joy when you think of your H. So many people don't get how I can still love him after all the bad. I guess b/c I choose to focus on the good...
You are a wonderful model for us all
BobbiJo--
Your faith may be getting a bit dinged up, but I believe, in my heart, that God is working mightily in Dan, hence all of his wavering and struggling. When people question how I can love DH, I tell them that they are looking at him with the world's eyes. I have chosen to look at him like God sees him. I sometimes lose that focus and get frustrated with my DH and his actions, but when I give it back in prayer, God opens my eyes again. Trust in our Father, he will always reveal the truth.

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. I Corinthians 13:7

Peter--
You are such an inspiration to me! You also always show up just when I need you! Everytime I peek in on your sitch, my heart overflows with joy for you, your wife, and your family. I hope you have a wonderful holiday, you so deserve it! I am looking forward to celebrating a Christmas with my children that keeps the focus right where it needs to be--firmly on the gift that God so graciously gave us--His Son, Jesus Christ.
"For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life." John 3:16
Such a simple verse, one that is the first that every child learns to memorize in Sunday School. A simple verse that is the nutshell of who we are in Christ. I recently read, and am re-reading, Max Lucado's book, 3:16 and now am only beginning to see the true depth of the love the Lord has for us, his children. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone.

You can not re-iterate this point enough. Certainly for me anyway. Not like I don't know this. But putting it into practice is something that can now receive the real focus that it is due. Thanks so much Sis. I needed to hear that.
