~roses to remember~

I am hoping these pretty pink roses

will bring a smile to a friend's face and remind her that she is loved.

She has dealt with more physical pain in the past few years

than most of us will feel in a lifetime.

I kept out one blossom to keep on my counter.

So I will think of her when I see it.

And remember to pray for her.

I think I am going to do that from now on.

Whenever I give someone flowers.

~my best marriage advice~

Today I'm linking up with Kelly's Korner

for Show Us Your Life "Marriage Advice".

Mr. H. and I have been married for almost 17 years.

And, over those years I have certainly learned a thing or two. ;-)

My best marriage advice can be summed up in a short list...

NEVER tell your husband what to do.

NEVER tell your husband he CAN'T do something.

NEVER complain about your husband to ANYONE.

COOK for him.

SMILE and BE SWEET.

So simple, but I guarantee if you do these things 

you will be treated like a queen and everything else will just fall into place. :-)




"Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." 
Matthew 7:12

"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."
Ephesians 4:32

"Wives submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.  For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything."

Ephesian 5:22-24

"...teach the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed."

Titus 2:4-5

"Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.  Do not let your adornment be merely outward- arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel - rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the site of God."

1 Peter 3:1-4
