Have you had anyone in your life to totally Bless your socks off!!! Well up until last week I would have to say no, however last weekend changed that answer. Let me tell ya what happened..... About a week ago, my husband came to me and told me that we don't spend enough quality time together and that he knows that I have been extremely stressed with work, school, house etc. He said that he wanted to take me away just for one night so we could spend sometime together. This was very sweet, but I cant lie. As sweet as it was, I had to pray about it. I didn't feel like it was a good time, because I had so much to do. Well not long after praying I realized this was just the devil. God showed me how awesome my husband was and told me everything would be fine and that I needed to go. (For those of you wondering, He didn't say it that quick, it took Him two days to say it loud enough for me to hear it.) So Bert had everything planned, all the way down to my mom coming and staying with the girls. What I didn't know, is that the whole time, it was more than just one night. It was a conspiracy that they had been cooking up for two weeks. (Scary right? Mom and Bert conspiring) Any way we went to a wonderful bed and breakfast in Mobile. The next morning we woke up and went shopping and walking all day. (got a new purse Praise God!) We headed home about 5:30. We had alot of fun being together and laughed and had fun. Well we got home about 7 that night and when I walked in my house, (through the game room) I about passed out!! My Mom, uncle Dale, my Dad and all my girls had totally painted my game room (which was driving me crazy since it was unpainted) and did an amazing clean sweep on my WHOLE entire house, even the back porch!! I was amazed! And most of all totally BLESSED by all of them. This was the plan the whole time they all had been conspiring for two weeks. Bless their hearts, they only had 24 hours to complete the job and they did it! They all looked like whooped puppies, tired! I cannot even began to describe the feeling I had. I was totally surprised and my heart was full. To be loved like that is a bigger blessing than all the work they had done. My family is totally amazing and I just praise God for putting them into my life. It made me think...what if we all loved like that? hmm..that would be life changing wouldn't it? I can tell you, it wasn't the work they did, it was why they did it that blessed me and when you have love like that there is nothing you cant do and achieve. God is good. Lets Love Big all the time. After all that is how HE does it.
thank you
I love yall.
