Thankful Thursday ~ Healing

I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness,
and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD, the Most High.
(Psalm 7:17 ESV)

I am so thankful for doctors this week. My husband has been sick for quite some time now, and he finally decided to visit his doctor. He is still not out of the woods, but now he is taken care in a hospital. Hopefully by tomorrow night I know more what really is going on with him.

This journey has been frustrating, painful, but also very rewarding. You see, this journey brought me even closer to God. In Him I find the strength to go on. He gives me the peace I need right now to encourage my husband that all will be well soon.

My husband’s sickness also made it clear that I love him very deeply; more than I knew. I can’t imagine to spend the rest of my life without him. I guess we all need to hit some kind of low point for things to become clearer; to really be more intentional with our relationships. Not only our marriages, but also friendships.

So this week, I am thankful for doctors, my marriage and especially God’s peace and strength. What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us by leaving the link to your Thankful Thursday post below.

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: be more intentional with your relationships.

Love and peace,
Iris

My Love for 30 Years

However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
(Ephesians 5:33 ESV (emphasis mine))

Today, 30 years ago, I have met my beloved. Sometimes I wonder where the years went. Don’t get me wrong; we had our challenges over the years. The above verse was one of the verses that saved our marriage. I truly believe that love and respect go hand-in-hand. Both have strengthened our marriage.

I truly enjoy hanging out with him, and photographing together. And I still get a soft knees when my beloved hugs me and kisses my neck…

Thank you Sweetheart for the past 30-years. I am looking forward spending more with you!!!

Trust Issues

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.”
~ Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)

The other night I watched my all-time favorite, German TV show called Tatort (loosely translated “crime-scene”). The detective in this particular episode investigated a homicide that kept leading her back to her boyfriend she deeply loved…

Join me today over at Laced with Grace to read the rest of my short devotion.
