Happy marriage is made by God.

Marriage is a long road to happiness. It can start with many hurdles and obstacles, but eventually it spreads to greener pastures of enjoyment and contentment.  Life is unpredictable and when we fall in love with this specific person, it is good if both of you have the same values, same morals, and same religious background. Life has too many issues as is, without having more issues with the basics of marriage. 

I was lucky to have fallen in love with a guy who was raised in a similar religion as I, and with same out look on life, like me. Looking back, I am grateful for this and acknowledge that God was very much in my life and took care of me, when I was young and lacked wisdom. 

On my 18th birthday I prayed to God to give me a gift. He did, I met my future husband then. What drew me to him was that he was so serious about life and about relationships, he was 4 years older, and to an 18 year old that is incredible. The guys I knew were flirtatious and not serious to have a relationship. 

We got married when I was 21, and we started our marriage with a clean slate of trust and love. God was good to us, now 20 years later, I am amazed at His provision in our life. His constant care for us, and our love that grew with the years. 

If you are still single and are looking for your other half, remember to include God in your love life, He is the one who can write a beautiful love story that can last through all the obstacles, through all the problems and issues of marriage.

Kiss me goodnight.

Kissing is the surest way of expressing love.

A kiss will ease your pain, ease your fear, or give comfort.

Its a way of speaking, without saying a word.

A kiss is welcomed at any time of day or night.

Its a good way of expressing a "Hello" or "Good bye", or anything in between.

Its easy to forget to give kisses to your loved ones, but its something that will be remembered for a long time to come. Share them. Enjoy them. Love them.

My 3 year old loves kissing her little baby brother. Children know that kissing someone is a sure way to their heart. Its easy to kiss a baby, but when kids grow older we tend to forget to give them hugs and kisses. I still remember every time my dad or mom gave me a hug. They never kissed us, hardly ever hugged us, so it means a lot to me to love my little ones, to hug them and to give them kisses. Even if its a 'kiss goodnight'.

The why, the when, the who...

On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it.
Jules Renard


Why is that when I watch the ocean on TV, it doesn't affect me or touch me as it would if I was walking down the sandy beach, with salty spray in my face?

Why is it that that when I drive down a lovely street I don't feel it as if I was walking down it enjoying the wind, the trees, the sunshine?

Why is that when I see someones child, I miss my own? When I work full time it still breaks my heart to see little kids enjoy time with their moms, when I have to work, and not see them until evenings?

Why is that when I hear the Gods book being read in church, it doesn't fill me as much as if I was reading it myself?

Why is that I need the love, the hugs, the kisses from my loved ones, to survive the struggles I am going through?

Why is that a child's little hands can erase the stress from a whole day?

So many why's... to know the truth, I open my eyes and see You.... my answer to all my questions.

5 precious years

My oldest child is a 5 year old little girl now!

You feel so grown up, my little helper, my little angel from above.

Sometimes you drive me crazy with your questions, your energy, your complaining, and whining. Sometimes you surprise me with your generous spirit, your helpful nature, and a willingness to learn. The things you say sometimes make me laugh, make me lift up my eyebrows, and make me think that this is the best age.

I wish you would always say you love me, would always want my double kisses and double or triple hugs like you do now. I am glad you asked Jesus into your heart, I am thankful for your sensitive soul, your loving heart.

God bless you and keep you safe forever and ever. My firstborn, my first precious baby.
