Thanks PIB - the Opera quote really did help. It is so easy to let emotions govern my behavior. Thank you again for the post! Hope you are doing well today.
Update: We had a good weekend. Spent some time with my parents and then went to a birthday party with the children.
I did a couple of temperature checks, I think. One about the amount of time we spend with other people during our family time. H said he didn't feel like we were running away from just being together, which was good to hear, although I guess I really shouldn't ask him things like this???? It may make me seem insecure? Not really sure about this. And as I read this I think I'm not making much sense..
Positives: 1. H and I stayed up late at my folks house and watched TV together. 2. H held my hand alot this weekend. 3. H asked me to lunch today.
An exerpt from my devotional from today ~ (Forward Day by Day):
Quote: Before the kingdom comes there may be pain and struggle for us, but the writer asks us to remember that we have known blessing , and that what is blessed will endure.
Thank you for all your encouragement. Keeping you in my prayers ~
