Light, Love, Hope

Light in the Darkness Surrounded by Love with Hope for those in need.

Hold

6

Hold me now. Wrap your loving arms around me, and just … hold me. Tight. Hold me … close.

Let me inhale the sweet scent of your skin as I lay my head on your chest. I can hear your heart beating … beating for me.

Do you remember days gone by when we would get swept up in each other and the only thing that mattered was you and I in that moment? Together.

The demands of life can be so overwhelming at times, yet shelter from the storms of life, and peace and comfort are still found in the depths of each other’s arms.

My heart skips a beat every time you rush to me, get down on one knee, and slide your strong arms around my waist as you embrace me with your love. I cradle your head as I run my fingers through your hair and hold you close to me.

Moments spent with you standing by the water’s edge, exchanging soft kisses as the rain began to sprinkle down from Heaven … We pause for a moment, my hand upon your chest, your arms still wrapped around me. There in your arms … I know I am home.

She leaps out of the vehicle, long brown hair flowing behind her, as she picks up the box.  An excited squeal escapes her lips as she extends those long legs into a full run, flings the wooden house door open and smiles as she heads for the bedroom.  She carefully places the box on the […]

Pause

I love holidays, mainly because they allow us to pause from our hectic daily lives and surround ourselves with family!  There’s nothing like bonding and sharing some down time together. We were so thankful for the weather on Saturday, which allowed for an end-of-the-school-year pool party. This is something we did every year when my oldest daughter […]

Turn

Five Minute Friday Word of The Day:  Turn We aren’t sure how things will turn out in life, are we? The past couple of days, I’ve been out of sorts.  It was something we couldn’t quite put our finger on.  Until today. Today is my grandmother’s birthday.  She passed several years ago after struggling for […]

    What a beautiful picture of marriage and holding onto one another! It is encouraging to read about how you hold onto and depend on one another.

    What a beautiful post. It reminds me of the early days of dating my husband over 14 years ago now. Maybe we should rekindle some of those moments…

    Visiting from FMF 🙂
