Love is blind,
but marriage restores its sight.
~Georg C. Lichtenberg
I have so much to say about this quote, but I think I am going to just let you think about it and what it means to you. It will mean different things to all of us depending on our situation. Enjoy and celebrate the sight!

June 28 - Anniversary
Today is Todd and my wedding anniversary. We were married in 1986 at the ages of 19 and 20. Now that our daughter is 17 we ask ourselves, “What were we thinking to get married so young?” I know we were thinking we were in love and it was just the next thing to do. At the age of 19, I did not know that marriage would take so much work. For some reason I thought that we would always be “in love” and that love could fix anything. While, we have been married a while now and we both know that marriage takes work, dedication, energy, patience, commitment and most of all we need God to be the center of our marriage.
The next couple days of Blessings will be dedicated to marriage.

June 29 - Annoyance
I would like to share the quote on front of the anniversary card that I gave Todd this year.
“It is so great to find that one special
Person you want to annoy for
the rest of your life.”
Happy Anniversary!
Todd and I had a good laugh about the card. Sometimes in marriage it does feel the like other person is just there to annoy us. I get annoyed about some of the smallest things, like socks on the floor, dishes in the sink, etc. Overall, it is really just an annoyance. We realize that we can annoy each other at times, but that is part of marriage.

June 27 - problems
“Problems viewed in the future appear to be obstacles
while problems viewed in the past are revealed as blessings.”

June 26 - Morgan is 17
Today marks the 17th anniversary of the day Todd and I became parents. Yes, Morgan is 17 years old already.
There is nothing in the world that can compare to the day a woman becomes a mother for the first time. It is an emotional high, filled with excitement and fear. The day we left the hospital and drove away with our new baby. We looked at each other and said, “ Wow, they let us leave with her! What do we do now?” There have been plenty days that we have asked ourselves as parents, “What do we do now?” The most important thing that we have learned we can do for our children is to pray for them daily.

Parents prayer
Lord you have given me these children to watch over and care for.
Grant them your safety and your protection against all the schemes and temptations of the devil.
Grant them the wisdom to get through life.
Grant them the security of knowing that they rest firmly in your grasp.
Thank you for giving me these children.
All these things I pray in your name Amen.
Grant them your safety and your protection against all the schemes and temptations of the devil.
Grant them the wisdom to get through life.
Grant them the security of knowing that they rest firmly in your grasp.
Thank you for giving me these children.
All these things I pray in your name Amen.

June 25 - Baseball
Baseball?
It's just a game - as simple as a ball and a bat.
Yet, as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes.
It's a sport, business - and sometimes even religion.
~Ernie Harwell, "The Game for All America," 1955
It seems fitting that my quote today is on baseball. Both boys are playing baseball this summer and tonight was the fourth baseball game of the week; we have three more on Saturday. It is fun to watch the boys learn to play as a team and encourage each other. So many life lessons can be learned on a baseball field.

"When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives
but are grateful for the abundance that's present....
we experience heaven on earth."
