Anniversary Blessings

Life can get hard.  Can I hear an amen?  We get busy.  We get sick.  We are mistreated.  Life can be tough on us.  And when these things happen, we are normally quick to sulk or let the world know that we are having a hard time.

But too often the only way we notice that life is hard for our mate is when they start complaining about it.  To read more, join me at Woman to Woman for Marriage Monday.

Yesterday, August 26th, my husband and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary and our 16th year together.  So today I want to count my blessings that are my husband.
