Yes, God certainly knew what He was doing when He paired me with my husband, although I wasn't fully aware of the fact for many years. So pleased to hear you are similarly blessed and able to express that to your own beloved.

I am so glad you are blessed with such a husband. How wonderful that God took care of you by providing this man for you. I feel the same way about my guy who stands by my side no matter what and I do often tell him how grateful I am. :)Rebekahhttp://weliveinspired.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-18361754655003901202013-07-18T01:49:59.533-07:002013-07-18T01:49:59.533-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.miamichryslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799720247225813127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-44644034069165084312013-07-13T09:14:00.164-07:002013-07-13T09:14:00.164-07:00And what a wonderful gift it is to have a faithful...And what a wonderful gift it is to have a faithful, loving husband, isn't it? With God's help we can definitely face "many challenges, with hope in our hearts". Seeing one another as "a gift from heaven" also enables us to be thankful for God's grace and provision in the marriage relationship. So pleased to hear you are similarly blessed, Anita.Joy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-32736176175384322242013-07-13T09:07:21.766-07:002013-07-13T09:07:21.766-07:00Yes, Kornelia, it is good to treasure our husbands...Yes, Kornelia, it is good to treasure our husbands and see God's hand upon the marriage.

People can view a marriage as 'successful' on the outside yet fail to have any awareness of the effort involved in achieving that goal. I'm so thankful we have God's mercy and grace in every aspect of our lives.

I so enjoyed your post. ...Happy anniversary Joy!! <br /><br />I so enjoyed your post. Like yours, my husband is a gift from heaven too. I met my husband at Bible college and married at the end of my second year. With our vows, in sickness and in health - shows the true love of 3 cords strung tightly together, facing many challenges, with hope in our hearts. I am truly thankful too :)<br /><br /><br />Blessings on you and your beloved.Anitahttp://www.scatterthestones.co.uk/thankful-that-nothing-can-separate-us-from-gods-love/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-72888876506734846542013-07-12T13:55:38.623-07:002013-07-12T13:55:38.623-07:00Beautiful, Joy.
