If I were starting my family over again, I would give first priority to my wife and children, not my work.
From Psalm 90:12: “So teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart.”

God’s love filling hearts, fulfilling our fate
Singing songs, with love and adoration

From 1 Corinthians 13:12-13: “For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”

Expressing her unique songwriting and blessed voice about love’s feelings, Dolly Parton sings “I Will Always Love You.”
Love’s Precious Gift
From the words of author and poet, Ana Claudia Antunes: “True love is like little roses; sweet, fragrant in small doses.”
Montana to Ohio
God joins this woman and man
Love bringing His precious gift
As only He really can
Love begins with our Father
Nurturing words speak each day
Hand in hand, with each other
God’s grace and peace lights His way
Love matures, like fall’s harvest
Built upon God’s rock of trust
Daily hope breathes at sunrise
Walk under angel’s stardust
Love meaning more than just words
Through valleys to mountaintops
Joining as one, each ribbon
God’s love never, ever stops
From Song of Solomon 8:6-7: “Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death, passion fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a raging flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If one offered for love all the wealth of one’s house, it would be utterly scorned.”
Affirming Love
From Song of Solomon 2:8: “The voice of my beloved! Look, he comes, leaping upon the mountains, bounding over the hills.”
Sitting here, another morning’s darkness
Thinking of today’s most beautiful view
Your kindness and love arrives with a smile
Transforming this heart to radiant new
Traveling life’s lonely, meaningless road
Dreaming of unlocking a better life
Your cherished spirit bestows precious light
Joining together as husband and wife
Making beloved home for two love birds
Nurturing passion with each priceless day
Your tender, caring thoughts lead us forward
Navigating with God’s love, shows His way
Affirming love through joyful affection
Walking in Jesus’ perfect reflection
From Song of Solomon 4:1: “How beautiful you are, my love, how very beautiful! Your eyes are doves behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats, moving down the slopes of Gilead.”
Saturday’s Sweetness
Free and quiet morning
Saturday adorning
Reading God’s Holy Word
Clear thoughts, no longer blurred
Sun rises and brightens
Calmness breathes, enlightens
Workweek taking its break
Making buckwheat pancakes
Listening to new song
Beat of life moves along
One more coffee cup sings
Caffeine never hamstrings
Good vibes fueling this life
Waiting for lovely wife
Looking forward as one
Day brings plenty of fun
Watching Buckeyes’ football
Scarlet and Gray now call
Excuse our loud cheering
Assisting team’s steering
Night closing and ending
Sleep soon, not pretending
Each week’s sweetest, fun day
Always, be Saturday
Max Lucado Quote
A woman’s heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.
From Proverbs 4:23: “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.”
Marriage Quotes
Dave Willis
Great marriages don’t happen by luck or by accident. They are the result of a consistent investment of time, thoughtfulness, forgiveness, affection, prayer, mutual respect, and a rock-solid commitment between a husband and a wife.
Robert Brault
To find someone who will love you for no reason, and to shower that person with reasons, that is the ultimate happiness.
