Valentine's Day

Wow!  I can’t believe it has been over a month since I posted.  Trust me it is not for lack of ideas because I have had many posts composed in my head over the last month, it is just finding the time to sit down and write.

Well, no way I was going to let Valentine’s go by without a post because this is our special month.  In two more weeks we have our anniversary.  Our 13^th to be exact!  I think this is only the second time that we will not be together for either one.  The last time was when we were in process of selling and moving to Lynchburg from upstate New York.  Ron had already been here for several weeks and the girls and I were still under almost 4ft of snow, it snowed 2ft on top of 2ft we already had right around Valentine’s day.

I am so thankful to God for bringing Ron and I together on second glance.  I posted last year about the story of our getting together.   http://wilsonfamily-heather.blogspot.com/2011/02/love-at-second-glance-or-chance.html 

 

I am so blessed.  God does know what He is doing.  I can look back over our 13 years and be amazed at the path we have had and how smoothly things have gone.  I am thankful for all the adventures we have had.  I wrote about that last year also.  http://wilsonfamily-heather.blogspot.com/2011/02/story-of-all-moves-and-little-wilson.html

I am so thankful for the man God made for me to share my life here on earth.  I am thankful that he is a good provider, the leader of our home, a great daddy.  I am so thankful that he is strong where I am weak, that we complement each other.  I am so blessed that we do not fight, we do have occasional miscommunications.  I am blessed that we are so in-tune with one another.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.  Not sure I believe that.  I think it is more like, absence makes you realize how much you do love/care for your spouse.  Ron said it well on my facebook wall.  It is not that you love your spouse anymore on Valentine’s day or that you love them any less on the other days of the year, it is a day to remind you to express how deep your love is for them.  I pray that you each take the time to not just sign a card but write out your words of love and care for your spouse.  Or if you are bold enough sit face to face and share it in words, not to get something but so that you can build up your marriage.
