"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." 1 Peter 4:8 📖 Good morning. I believe in love and the power of prayer. I have seen both work in my life over the past 15 years, while being mentored by a phenomenal spiritual teacher and life coach. I've been given tools that help me deal with life's pressures (past and present) with ease and grace, never getting stuck, never wallowing or even caring very much. God is in control. So, I use these tools daily and everyday, my faith is renewed. He truly works all things for His good...and mine! That being said, the best reaction to adversity is oftentimes no reaction at all. Also, it's best to recognize the difference between responding and reacting. But no matter what we do, we must do it with love--and not just for the other person--but love for ourselves and for God. That brings me to marriage. All our lives, we hear that marriage is "hard work," and I've always despised the terminology. It gives people very little hope and says nothing about the joys of marriage, of which there are so many. I don't think marriage is "hard," and I would cringe if I overheard my husband saying being married to me is "hard." And I'm not all that keen on the word "work," either. It has the spirit of arduous duty and displeasure. But, marriage does take constant tending and not everyday will be a great one, a good one, or even a halfway decent one. Some days just fucking suck--and it's not always because you're married or married to the wrong person--life just fucking sucks sometimes! But don't get stuck there. Love your way out of those bad days. Pray for eachother and always remember to love yourself more than anyone else because that love will save you every time and it will always cover the multitude. Good luck! #MeetTheShorts
