Thankful Thursday

Today is Thankful Thursday and I haven't posted a thankful post in so long I don't even know who is hosting it. Please forgive me for not linking appropriately and just know that I thank whoever our hostess is but feel compelled to say "thank you" to the Lord first and foremost for sending me the most amazing man!
Yes, this man. Jason Carlton. My Jake Monster. My Jay. I woke up again with a terrible migraine and do you know how I was greeted? I was greeted with my medication and a glass of water and a prayer being said over me. Followed by a bowl of hot oatmeal. So far I can't stop the tears which is not helping the migraine but I asked him this question "How do you put up with this from me?" And his reply was this...."In sickness and in health". He said it with such sincerity, such love, such compassion. I can only thank God that he is the man that is tending to me during this time in my life.

So...I am thankful to the Lord who take the two and make them one. And even through hardship His scarlet chord has twined them together so tightly that they remain. I'm sorry, my emotional state just won't let me say more. I hope you all take the time to love on your beloved husbands today. They are truly your gift from God. Be blessed, my sisters.
Song of Solomon 2:4-5 "He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love"

Debra, I'm so glad that your hubby is such an awesome guy and a man of God. You deserve that. I know this is a challenging time in your life but I just know you will grow and be refined during this process. And the more that happens you will reflect the image of Jesus. Love you, Debbie

Talk about a heart warmer, Debra! That man of yours is a keeper, I tell ya! So generous and thoughtful in your time of need. God has blessed you with a remarkable husband. You are so right...we should be thankful to have such great husbands! What a blessing they are! Praying that your migraine eases up real soon! Thank you for the sweet birthday wishes!

Debbie, You are so strong and have such a wonderful husband! I know how horrible migraines can be as my husband suffers from them too. Have you thought about trying an accupuncturist or massage therapist? Both of these have worked for him to relieve the pain as they know how to work the pressure points of the body.

Dearest Heavenly Father,
Thank you for another beautiful day. Thank you for introducing me to Deb and her family. I pray you will wrap your loving arms around her and help to ease her pain and suffering. Please help her find a cure for her migraines so she can get back to life again.
In your name I pray this. Amen

You are blessed my friend, love you.

Peggy said...

Blessings Deb...well, you truly are blessed & served well and both of you deserve that LOVE in sickness & in health as well as the rest, the care & the prayer are all added bonuses.

Some of us don't get any of that...
but at a time such as this, you need a man of God & deserve every ounce of TLC! Soak it up! Gifts from God are so hard to come by & see them blessing properly.

EnJOY the Song of Solomon & thank you for the blessing of His banner over US is LOVE! You are such a sweet sis, wife, mother, friend,
and those migraines have no place in you so they must leave & leave you alone so your meds can do their job...no more side effects, no more migraines, no more health issues, just Jesus' healing flow all over YOU! It flows from that banner of love...aMazing Grace!

Love you!!!
