First off, let say this from the bottom of my heart, Thou art Great, O Lord God. You love us always, and have let us partake in the Mystery of Your Creation. Thank You and May Your Name be Praised Forever!
I am humbled and close to just being alone with the thought that as I carry my youngest son, Ronn, in my arms, I can't wait but be amazed that I am a part of God's Unfolding Creation and of bringing the gift of life to His Child, my Child. My mind can't fathom the mystery and the microscopic details of how my Dear Lord gave my son, dear, trusting, and cooing son, who at two months, is already smiling back and responding to us talking to him and singing to him. To the busy and preoccupied majority, having kids is part of life, almost just like a statistic. But, I believe I am one with God-fearing parents, and grandparents, when I feel this undescribable gratitude and realization how God has entrusted to me this tiny infant and made me a steward for his physical and spiritual nourishing. It's like He just told me on the street, accosting Him after a hard day's office work, "You're not a geek that your college dudes saw you, or a weakling in your peers' eyes. I gave you your son, live up to my expectations." I just want to fall on my knees on the pavement and just shout my lungs out there and say, "My Sweet Beloved Creator, give me more strength!" Oh, I really need that, there is a heavy task ahead, I pray, let me not be taken till I get the job done!
Oh, this wonder of being part of my son's life, who is God's child, oh, what wonder, what a miracle, what an undeniable evidence of God's Trust in Man! If I could only communicate what I think to my wife, but, unlike writing, where I have the facility to express my deepest feelings, I fall short in actual speech. Maybe this is where God wants me to be, to write, to bear witness, to be His lowly, loving, humble servant and to shout His Glory to the whole wide world!
Oh my dear son, grow in the light of the Love of Your Heavenly Father.
Bless him, O My Dear Lord, as you've done my other children.
Bless my Friends, I spoke their names (and blog names) to You in my prayers.
Bless my family.
Bless America.
Amen and Your Name be Praised Forever.

I will bet you that if you look deeply into your wife's eyes - you will know what she is thinking and She will know what you are thinking - Remember... the eyes are the windows to our souls -
With us women - words are not needed - a little squeeze and a smile - speak volumns
Don't forget - You are to love your wife like Christ loves the church.. that includes squeezing, kisses, hugs, flowers, love notes, and just "talking" and telling her how you love her (don't ever forget the romance). She is the Mother of your most precious children and she must feel that you, above everyone, appreciates and loves her.
We women need those feeling communicated - daily. Your job as a husband is to do that and if you give that - she will give you all the respect and appreciation and affection that you need as a husband.
When they say "give and you will recieve" - that is how it works. This is your "wise counsel" for today.
Men and Women are so different - There is a great book "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" - it is so true - please read it together. She and you will laugh and say - EXACTLY - because it so describes "Us" - But know this - We women need to feel we are loved, beautiful, appreciated, and your actions, not words, show us how you feel. Little notes, poems, flowers, sqeezes - winks - all and everything show us how you "adore" us - WE NEED THAT.
aND if your sweetie is smart and a Godly woman - she will treat you will such respect and honor and affection and appreciation - because you are HER SOFT PLACE TO FALL - and she will adore the ground you walk upon. That is true love - "Not living with someone - but knowing you can't live WITHOUT them"
Thank you Sister!
