Light A Candle...

This is a sweet little card my husband gave me a few years ago. Notice the two candles.....and if you're wondering what happened to the candle on the right....well ask my daughter! (click on the picture to enlarge, if you have trouble reading what it says).

This is what he wrote inside.....Debra, When you feel as if you need to hear I love you, Light a candle, so that I can see. I Love You, Andy

So guess what I did on Tuesday night girls? Yep, that's right....I lit a candle!!! I was really struggling with some things that day and all I needed was, some nice long hugs and an, "I Love You," from my husband, to make it all better. Seriously, he always makes me feel better, no matter what I'm struggling with! I'm so thankful for such a wonderful, loving husband and the best friend I could ever have!

I know its not my place but...............

I have got to say you are the most beautiful woman I have ever known!

Sleeping Beauty

I just want to thank you for being so beautiful!

Beauty and the Beach

I think for me the wonder of the beach, is not the physical earth that God created.
God made it yes so we would know that He is, and while it truly was beautiful yesterday, I think that I got a glimpse of a greater Beauty.

It was not the waves, nor the sandy beaches, the sun in the sky or the birds in the air. But the beauty of a woman enjoying life there.

To see Debra leap with joy as she found another of God's creations, a gift just for her.
To see her run out into the shallows as the tide turned back chasing a possibility, discouraged but continuing on with a new hope.
To see the wind blowing through her hair, her rejoicing at a silly little sand dollar, her curiosity at her first starfish, yes like a child of the King, just happy to be a part of His Kingdom.

Today there was a Beauty at the Beach, and I know that God enjoyed her too.
