Appreciated

I love my husband DEARLY and miss him when we are apart/away from each other. I also appreciate him VERY much and all the hard work that he does to help and keep our family a float. But why is it that until someone is gone, seems to be when we miss them or appreciate them the most? My guess is that 1. It is quiet whereever that you are 2. We become a little lonely.

Isn't it something how much love we can learn to give someone and share with someone. But in comparison to what the Lord did for us, knowing that we were sinners, He loved us SO much HE gave HIS life for us!! And yet, if we know the Lord we are NEVER lonely!! AMAZING!! PTL!!

I am writing this today in the quietness of my home. Perhaps you might be thinking that this is why that this subject is on my mind. I just arrived home about an hour ago from taking Mark to the airport. He will begin his journey home today with the NEW vehicle. Tyler stayed the night at his PAPA and G'GS house. So that I did not have to get him up at 4:45 a.m. this morning when we left. It is now 9:00 a.m. and I will be going to get him soon. So when I mean that the the house is quiet I MEAN that the house is quiet!! I do not have any t.v. on the only noise is the clicking of the computer typing you this blog. WOW!!! Seems really weird.

Funny how when your kid/kids are gone you miss/appreciate all those little noises that they make as well. Mark and I, were home last night by ourselves and we found that we were making the noises to each other that he normally makes when he is home!! That just goes to show you how much you can miss and appreciate someone! He is so much fun. And I thank my Lord everyday that we have that little booger!! Even though he might yell 20 times a day, " Mom I need more juice!!"

I guess that I said all of this to remind Me and You to appreciate who the Lord has brought into your life while you have them. For we don't know what today or tomorrow may bring. I LOVE my husband and family dearly and I want them to ALWAYS be able to say the same about me. Got to give love to receive love! So today appreciate your family and those around you and ALL that the Lord has given you.

I will stop preaching for now!! HA HA!! Until next time God bless you all and keep Mark in your prayers as he is traveling today through Thursday to come home safely to Tyler and I. Also keep Tyler and I in your prayers as well. Thank you in advance!!

God Bless,

Andrea
