Rich In Love

Good Sunday morning family. It's a little chilly here in the "Ville. Everyone's up doing their thing. I'm feeling blessed and highly favored (we should feel this way 24/7 no matter what). Had a great week at work and a wonderful Saturday filled with family and friends. As I walked through the week I realized I'd dodged a lot of bullets. I truly understand, even though I don't have a lot of material things and my money isn't as long as I want it to be, that I may be one the richest women in the world. Funny? As I look around, I see my life as being full, rich with people who love me, a God who has allowed me to make mistakes and still opened His arms to me when I asked forgiveness. That's rich. When I say I've dodged bullets, I mean I've done some crazy things that could have taken me down paths of darkness, things that could've taken my life (mentally/physically). This morning I rejoice because I've been restored, redeemed and set free from a past that will no longer over shadow/outshine my present/future. Heavenly Father I say thank You this morning, I am in awe of You. You've opened my heart/cleared my mind, made me better than I ever thought I could be. Thank You for showing me that giving of myself is more fulfilling than receiving every/any fleshly desire. Those things bring temporary relief. Lord I thank You for my family, my friends and my life. I pray that You continue filling us with wisdom and love so that we can share who we are and what we have with those who are in need. Lord I bless and praise Your Holy Name this morning, thanking You for all and wanting for nothing. In Jesus' Holy Name, AMEN. TeamRichInLove. Bblessedloveyou. Psalm 18:16.

Happy Anniversary

Good morning family. Thanking God for a new day and a blessed life. Asking Him for continued blessings as Dee and I celebrate 30 years of marriage today. Sometimes I still feel like that 19 year old girl standing in front of the justice of the peace saying "I do". Marrying the man I'd loved since I was 13. I can honestly say that God's hand has been on our relationship. We were young parents, Dee having just turned 14 and me about to be 15 when Cedric was born. Ya'll know we didn't know what we were doing, but God. I'm thankful for all that we've endured, the good and the bad. I'm grateful that I have a loving husband who accepts me for who I am because the Lord knows I can be difficult sometimes. I'm more grateful to God for allowing us to grow up/old together and for blessing us with beautiful children and grandchildren. What I've learned over the years is that it doesn't pay to be nit-picky, that communication is everything and it's okay to disagree. Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that You continue watching over all of us. I pray for broken relationships, asking for healing for those who are struggling/trying to survive. I ask that You grant each of peace/understanding and the courage to love unconditionally. Father God, I thank You for providing examples of what true love looks like and for bringing people into our lives who support and lift us up. In Jesus' Holy Name, AMEN....TeamHappyAnniversary.
