UNBROKEN

Along with thousands of others, the hubs and I saw this great movie. I have not read the book(on my Kindle now),but according to some of my friends who have..she only gives mention to a life changing part of the book. However, they were basically pleased with the telling of the story. This of course is a true story of Louis Zamperini,(January 26, 1917 – July 2, 2014) an American World War II prisoner of war survivor, Christian inspirational speaker, and Olympic distance runner.

Happy Birthday to The Love of my Life!

Happy Birthday to my Sons’ Father…and The Love of my Life!

My hubby of almost 35 years is 55 years of age today!   If you do the math…. you will see that we were mere babes when we married!

But I write a blog entitled “Teacher Mom Always” and Dad needs to be somewhere in that title. And this blog, “Encouragement for His Daughters” came to me because I have had a husband who has encouraged my walk with Christ.

My two adult sons have had the most wonderful man as a father. The role model he has been for them has been incredible. How do I know?

I watch them with their wives. They treat their wives with the utmost tenderness…as my husband did and does me. And they tease their wives incessantly, as my husband did and still does…. But most importantly, they understand the love of their heavenly Father.

No matter how tired he was when he came in from work, some nights not until 8:30pm…he spent time with the boys in some capacity. Either a whiffle ball game, card game, biking…you name it.

So Happy Birthday to the most incredible Dad I know.

And Happy Birthday to my best friend and the love of my life. The man who cooks, cleans and does laundry because I work outside of the home part time. The man who values my happiness above his own.

Thank you for allowing the boys to see a wonderful role model. And thank you for allowing them to understand the unconditional love of their heavenly Father. And thank you for loving me without condition.

Because of you dearest husband, they get it…in many ways. We all do.

Rough Days and Wall Shadows…

I have had a few rough days.

(I must say that today is better, but I am going ahead and publish this post with the hope that someone else will be encouraged.)

I will admit it. I am not proud of it, but it is true. I feel “blah”.  I dealt with anger over something for about four months, then gave that away and now I am just….I don’t even know how to explain how I feel.

You may understand, you may not. Either way is ok, because I am not sure that I understand. Continue reading Rough Days and Wall Shadows…
