It is so wonderful God brought you into his life to care for him.........I can feel your heartbeat of love for him when I read your words........very cool.

leah777 -> RE: Dailyjoy (1/30/2008 12:35:59 PM)
Yes, Joy, it is -- I am truly blessed. And yes, I have certainly grown to love him -- very much.

joy2give2u -> RE: Dailyjoy (1/30/2008 12:54:20 PM)
I do not have any children of my own but my three nieces have been a large part of my life for most of their lives.........off and on then have lived with me and are currently doing so......... I think the first time I really understood "love" was when Sky was a little baby...I was rocking and singing her to sleep.....as I looked down on her tears welled up in my eyes and began to fall........the love I felt for her so over powered me I did not know how to respond to it.......so I just cried tears of intense love........ My whole life I never realized I was capable of such an intense feeling of love......for so long I had convinced myself I was incapable of loving another the way you were suppose to love someone.........When I found the Lord I knew I had begun to love people through his love but I still didn't realize the depth of the capacity of love he had given me until that night...........it was one of those WOW moments you never forget. Sometimes I wonder if it is possible to love with an even greater love.....yet part of me knows it is.......that when and if I marry and have a child of my own the love will be even stronger........ Don't know if that all makes sense.......just rambling........[:D][:D]

Just wanted to let you know that the Sumo wrestling moves like throwing your full body into it doesn't work either. I tried it this morning. That is such a funny story Joy.

Well....now that I at least got my car doors open and I did try to brave it to work but turned around and came back because I couldn't see, it's going to get much better because I'm going to spend the rest of the day in pj's and get all snuggly and watch the storm from the inside....and I think this calls for some hot chocolate too.

joy2give2u -> RE: Dailyjoy (1/30/2008 1:32:59 PM)
Hot chocolate sounds good.......I have this crazy craving for mexican food........ Curled up by the fire reading a good book would be a nice way to spend the day......... Hey have you heard anymore about work and what they might do come june?

hotsaucygma -> RE: Dailyjoy (1/30/2008 1:33:06 PM)
The car starter is a thingy they put on the engine (I assume, anyway) and then you get a key fob kinda thing (like automatic locks have) that you push a button and the car automatically starts. It will start from about 1,000 feet away, I think. Anyway I can start it from my house, and at work from my office window... it is heavenly! I got it the first winter after my divorce... that and an electric blanket, hmmm- I didn't miss the Ex for years... LOL.

Yes, Joy, it will be even stronger . . . you will be amazed at the strength of it. Then you grow older with those children, and watch them have children of their own, and those children -- your grandchildren -- bring on even more intense feelings . . seems impossible, but they do. Maybe it was a protectiveness that I didn't feel quite so strongly with my children because of my own youth, and with the passing of time and listening as each newscasts brought on even more reports of unspeakable evil . . . I dunno. I only know that the first few years of my granddaughters' lives I could hardly bear to be away from them, and it seemed that nothing my loving daughter & sil did was 'enough'. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit kept me in check, and the relationship with them has survived -- even grown stronger with time. When I think about what would have happened had I taken some of the actions my 'grandmotherly instincts' was urging me to take [sm=shakinghead.gif]

quote: Hey have you heard anymore about work and what they might do come june? No...I'm trying to stay optimistic but then it's hard to not wonder if they even have any intentions of keeping any of us. I know they wouldn't tell us now that they plan on getting rid of us because they do need us until all our customer base is integrated into their system. I will admit at times I am having a challenge to keep optimistic about it but then I have to remind myself that my life is not in my employer's hands....my life is in God's hands...and He knows exactly what is going to happen and He's not sitting up there wringing His hands wondering what He's going to do. I know He's already got it all planned out and all I need to do is trust Him and see what happens. Sigh....one minute is exciting...the next a little scary...but regardless I am excited to see what He has in store. As for those automatic car starters, I remember when I was still living in Nevada and I came home to Michigan for a visit one summer my dad showed me that he got one and at the time I thought what a frivolous thing to have. Now that I'm living back in Michigan and dealing with the winters once again I have a whole new apreciation for those....I would love to get one!

The car starters work great in the heat too- starts the ari conditioning before you get turned into a puddle on the car seat! Yes Joy, the car starter and electric blanket worked wonders... there was only one little thing left that I had to find a "man replacement" for- it was putting lotion on my back in the winter, and then a friend even found that for me - there is this handy gadget that has a long handle like a bath loofah thing, but it has a round head on it, about a half inch thick with a screw off top and on the bottom has lots of little round balls that move, you put lotion in it, screw the top on and when you rub it on your back the little round balls move and the lotion is dispursed on your back!! [:D] [:D] And you are right Sam, much less frustrating - and they don't talk back either, lol!

I have to admit though, that the one thing that will still make me a little nostolgic about having a man around is if I walk into a bathroom where there is a man in the house and it smells like aftershave... that will sometimes give me a few moments of sadness [&:][8\|]. But it doesn't usually last long!!

bride48 -> RE: Dailyjoy (1/30/2008 4:31:20 PM)
Joy, I was 48 before I married, so I do remember those struggles. Wanting a man, yet trying to let Jesus be enough. Wondering if I could really love someone that much! I don't know why God waited so long to bring me and John together, but I'm at the same time glad I had those years. The Lord blessed me with so many friends and opportunities during those years! I feel very spoiled--I got the best of both worlds!

joy2give2u -> RE: Dailyjoy (1/30/2008 4:44:34 PM)
Hey DebbieLynne.......this is one reason I have been so blessed by reading your post.......God gave you such a wonderful gift in His timing.......and I believe he will do the same for me...... When I was in my late 20's I prayed every day the Lord would allow me to marry and have children.........I came to the point of giving up on God to fulfill my prayer and took things into my own hands........huge mistake which lead to me being in a relationship where my disobedience opened the door for satan to enter and the relationship became abusive.......God rescued me. Seven years ago I moved in with my father to help him. He had some medical problems.........During that time I felt so content being single and accepted, without any regret, that I would probably never marry.....I knew I would have a wonderful life even single......... God even answered my prayer for children differently then I had expected by giving me three amazing little girls to be a part of my life and live with me........ God had removed the desire for marriage and giving me a wonderful family life.....I was very happy and content. A few months before my father passed away God renewed my desire to marry. At the time I was a little confused since he had taken away before.......I had prayed Lord if I am not going to marry please take the desire away from me and he did.....amazingly so. But here I was again having those desires........then with my fathers passing and realizing just how very alone I am........the desire has grown so much stronger....... I use to be so arrogant........not understanding why people moaned and groaned so much about being alone......Heck I was single and not lonely or weeping about not being married........ Now I realize it isn't so much the being unmarried we crave but being a part of a family........I have a wonderful family but as we have all grown up our lives have taken different paths and though we are still close they all have their own familes now........... I love the movie While you were Sleeping because in the movie it wasn't love she was looking for but a family so she wasn't so alone....... Every time I watched the movie I would cry.........I couldn't imagine what it would be like to not have a family.....to just want to be part of a family.......Now I think I know......and it is a very lonely place to be....... Gosh sorry now I am rambling on and on.........you will have to forgive me.....sometimes I still really miss my dad and get emotional about silly things........ Sorry

bride48 -> RE: Dailyjoy (1/30/2008 5:25:24 PM)
No apology necessary. Several of my friends (now in their 50's) are still single. I think all of us wonder why the Lord allowed me to marry, and not them. It's puzzling. I do know that men are put off by independent women. A guy in my church back home confided in me that once he'd seen my best friend walking somewhere, so he offerd her a ride. He was, I think, attracted to her, and wanted to spark something. She said, "No thanks...walking's good for me." He said that turned him off. He married someone else. My husband prayed for a wife more disabled than he. Helping me makes him feel like a man. He says most men want a woman who needs them. That's why my best friend's independence cost her a potential relationship, as my husband sees it. I know Jesus is our first love, but He designed marriage to be the norm. As the Church looks to Him for all her needs, so wives look to their husbands. If a woman sends messages that she "doesn't need" a man, men stay away. Does that make sense? If I'm rambling, just ignore me![:D]

wfisaac -> RE: Dailyjoy (1/30/2008 7:22:22 PM)
Hi DebbieLynne...I just had to say I took a peek at your blog and saw your little video tribute to your marriage....how beautiful! I thought that was so beautiful.
