What I'm Loving This Week:

My husband and I are celebrating our 31st Wedding Anniversary in Chicago this week. Where has the time gone? I share a bit of my relationship with Doug on my abortion post here. We were married in a little inner city Cleveland, Ohio church and my wedding dress was purchased off the rack (no alterations) for $100. My kids still love to tease me about my “cowboy hat”. The photo below where they're throwing rice I love because you can see my sweet grandma in the background xo.

This excerpt below is a post I shared on Facebook with a couple photos from our wedding day and I wanted to share it with my readers here who aren't on social media:

By God's grace and kindness my Doug and I celebrate 31 years today ❤.

We were both enemies of God when we were first married and we would have thought we were “good” people but the Bible tells us otherwise. “There is no one good no not one” Romans 3:10-12. We created a “god” in our own minds that we were comfortable with but it wasn't the One True God – the God of the Bible.

But thanks be to God who opened our eyes to the truth that we were sinners against a Holy God. It is only through repentance of our sins and faith in Jesus that we are known by Him and become His children.

We have come to know what true love looks like through Christ. We can give thanks for the trials and difficulties in marriage because they are molding us more into the image of our Lord. And we can give thanks for all the beautiful moments and seasons too. They are all gifts from God working for our good and His Glory.

Don't be deceived dear friends by thinking you are good and going to heaven because of your good works. The standard is God and He demands perfection. We can't achieve it. That is why He sent Jesus. Pick up your Bible and start reading the book of John and ask the Lord to reveal Himself to you.

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.

How many times does Sunday morning roll around and How many times does Sunday morning roll around and you find your heart in a state of chaos instead of calm to worship the Lord?  How many Sundays do you arrive at church and realize you haven’t taken the time all week to pray for your pastor or your church family? ⁣

"Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣ ⁣ Very lar "Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣
⁣
Very largely does the wife hold in her ⁣
hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness ⁣
and the highest good of the hearts that ⁣
nestle there. In the last analysis, home ⁣
happiness depends on the wife. ⁣
⁣
Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere. ⁣
⁣
Her hands fashion its beauty. ⁣
⁣
Her heart makes its love. ⁣
⁣
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, ⁣
that no woman who has been called to be a wife, ⁣
and has listened to the call, should consider any⁣
price too great to pay, to be . . .⁣
 the light,⁣
 the joy,⁣
 the blessing,⁣
 the inspiration, ⁣
of a home. ⁣
⁣
The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, ⁣
filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing ⁣
something better than anything else her hands ⁣
could find to do beneath the skies.⁣
⁣
A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of ⁣
home happiness. God sends many beautiful things ⁣
to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is ⁣
richer than that which He bestows in a mother who ⁣
has learned love's lessons well, and has realized ⁣
something of the meaning of her sacred calling."⁣

Summer is a natural time for me to get off my rout Summer is a natural time for me to get off my routine of menu planning. In the winter, we're more apt to stick to a schedule, but summer brings about a more flexible and changing calendar. ⁣
