February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in. I finally purchased a new monthly focus board. We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good! My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy! My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just
"But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Ruth 1:16 (NIV)
I have watched the Titanic movie several times as I am sure you have too. I have also read several stories on the Titanic with interesting facts. I read an interesting story about a lady that was on the Titanic named Ida Strauss. She and her husband had been married for many years. Story has it that as the ship was sinking Ida's husband of many years led her to safety upon one of the life boats. As she gazed up at her husband of many years she knew she could not leave him. She got off of the life boat and allowed her maid to have her spot. Ida then stepped out of the life boat and took her husband's hand and very gently said, "We've been together for many years and where you go I will go". Together, they went down in the Titanic.That is what I call "true love".
May this be a sweet and tender reminder to us that life is short. May we stop for just a moment and truly reflect on the love that we have for our spouse. Sometimes we tend to allow the dealings of everyday life to overwhelm us, smother us, and pull us from the very one that loves us so much. The one that is there for us day in and day out regardless!
Make time TODAY to tell him you love him!

Very inspiring!...Christine
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious story. I don't let my hubby know nearly enough how much he means to me! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy for another beautiful message. Mr D took a 4day trip last week and I stayed home. After 50 years of marriage it was still a very special feeling when he returned.
ReplyDeleteHi Dear Cindy! This is a great post and I do love the story of Ruth. You're so right that life it fleeting and we never know when we'll be called home. The main thing is that we're ready to meet Jesus.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your prayers.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
What a beautiful story, Cindy and a good reminder. I'm going to tell my man right now how much I love and treasure him. I love the book of Ruth too. Beautiful picture of the Titanic...need to watch it again and again.
ReplyDeleteI just love that true love story!
