My love and adoration for my husband increases on the daily. What started out as a friendship, has become something so much more. He is the love of my life. In these last few years since we have been together, we have been through some things we did not expect. I had some health issues and health scares. Though we have gotten through them, together. We recently lost our baby together and twice I had some potentially life-saving procedures done. There are admittingly times where I have felt defeated and guilty at how much he has to go through with me. For during those times, I have wanted to be so much healthier for him. He only sweetly reminds me of his love and devotion; not just with words, but with actions. I am so grateful to God for him. He is such a blessing.

  Friend, cherish those who walk beside you; especially in the hard times. Whether that be a spouse, relative or a friend. Or all of the above. We live in world that is broken from sin and with that comes hardship at times. I am a firm believer that God blesses us with each other. To be there to uplift, encourage and sometimes to just simply be there for one another. May we be there for one another, for we all need each other. Life is hard at times but may we not forget that most importantly we have our faithful God and those in which He blesses us with.

   In a life filled with many chapters, both good and hard; may we hang onto those in which God blesses us with. May we also be a blessing to others too. Most importantly, may we hang onto God who always walks beside us in our lives. For when we walk with God we can better stand with His strength and when others walk beside us, it makes the load in which we carry lighter.

Isaiah 43:2 NIV

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

Galatians 6:2 NIV

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ.
