A Valentine Story
Pursue... What a word! Chasing after, making a big priority in a persons life, a focus of great importance.
In my life I tend to get excited about new projects, new recipes, new ideas. I have always been somewhat overly excited in the beginning of something new. But being true to form, after a little while I tend to not be so gun-ho about it. It ends up getting "lost in the sauce" of life and gone from my mind. That usually happens more so with new workouts, and diets, and crafts.
I don't have enough fingers to count how many times this has happened, that I didn't stick with something, because I found it just was too hard, or it turned out to be not what I thought in the beginning, or I just lost interest.
Another kind of pursuit is the kind that my husband showed when he found me. He came to see me practically every day! He didn't mind driving to my house everyday after a shift at his work. He drove through winter weather, on not so great roads; and it was a 40 minute trip for him. He also was the perfect gentleman. In so many ways, he exhibited honor to me.
Pursueing shows value,,,
and I was quite surprised how valuable I felt.
For months Ruben came to visit me. He never changed his mind, or decided that I wasn't worth the trip. He continued to pursue me ever being that gentleman, and still does and still is.
He still finds me valuable.
That is quite wonderful!
He finds me worth his time, worth being thoughtful,still shows value to me by always asking me my opinions and defers to me many times in our life together.
That shows value. It doesn't get old. Now life is not perfect, but its pretty close!! He's perfect for me in many ways. I cherish his love for me. It is genuine and lasting.💘
God has used him to lighten my life, to smile more, to enjoy simple things. To learn to relax and not to worry at all! !!! I love him with all my heart and I'm very thankful for him.
When I came to faith in Christ, I was 24 years old. I really never experienced a love like Gods. It was unconditional . It was forgiving, it showed me that I was valued.
I took a chance on God.
I pursued Him by reading His Word. It answered so many questions I had about life. This pursuit has never gotten old for me. It is refreshing and satisfying to my life. This is one thing I have stuck with. He is always worth it. He has changed my perspective, my values, my desires. He has made me whole. He has enhanced my life in so many ways since I trusted it with Him. He has strengthened my heart, given me blessings beyond measure and fulfilled my dreams.
I believe He put Ruben in my life. We are in so many ways the same, and in so many ways so different. We complement each other, and in our "senior" years, I feel younger than ever!!!
God knew what I needed in my life.
I had it pretty rough for quite a few years . I was married to a man who had mental illness. We were married for 25 years. Daily life was quite a challenge...
But God was there to see me through.
My husband passed away 8 years ago this summer. Even though life was hard being married to him, it was "normal" to me. I was lost when he died. But God was there to help in my time of need.
Eighteen months after he died, I met Ruben. He was an answer to my prayers in so many ways. Light hearted, funny, outlandish, caring, thoughtful and respectful. Wow! Thank you God!!💑
We've been married now for 5 1/2 years....
This Valentines Day, enjoy the loves in your life. Your spouse, your significant other, your children, your grandchildren,( even your pets!)
Love is Gods idea. He gave us the capacity to feel it, to experience its worth and give it away.
Love bears all thing, believes all things, hopes for all things!
Thank God for all those loves in your life...
After all ... He put them there and ....He IS LOVE.
