Hello beloved readers - I cannot believe it has been since January that I have "blogged!" Life has gotten very crazy - jobs, responsibilities, Nana and Pop and their health etc. I wonder if yours has been like mine? I have a very strong feeling that it may be.... Difficult times will come in our lives - times of crisis, busy times, financial troubles, health issues, decisions to be made, etc etc etc. Many things that could pull you apart.... stretch you to breaking....Determine now how you will respond. From my perspective, there are two responses when a crisis hits. We can pull away from our mate, or we can pull together. We can determine that in times of crisis, we will depend on each other more than ever. We will take the time to talk it all out. We will listen to each other. We will "steal away" in the middle of our crisis times - to stay connected and thus grow stronger.
Difficult times will pepper your lives together dear ones. Be prepared. Talk about how you will respond - now - to the difficult times that will come. And never forget, "a three-strand cord" is not easily broken. This phrase is from Ecclesiastes 4:12. Read the version from The Living Bible: "And one standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back to back and conquer; three is even better, for a triple braided cord is not easily broken."
Stay close to one another - stay close to God!
