One afternoon in a rare moment of 'aloneness' with my husband, I glanced in the visor mirror to check my makeup. The stark sunlight revealed every bit of my age and then some. I sighed and he asked what was wrong.
"Getting older.... it's such a mean trick," I replied. "Inside I feel the same way I did when I was just a girl. Then... I look in the mirror and I see an old woman."
Reaching over to grab my hand he said, " And when I look at you, I see the sixteen year old girl I fell in love with."
As he is not one for giving compliments, it made his words all the more special to me. I don't remember where we were going or why but.... I will never forget what he said. Truth was in his voice. And it occurred to me that he was right. When I looked at him, I saw the seventeen year old boy that I fell in love with nearly three decades ago. Time does change most things, but not the eyes of love.
Keep the Faith,

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY a new update!
Continuing to pray!
Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Although this is a repeat, I still love your words and take it that all is well. Love ya!
is that you and your husband?
@NanaLana -It's a repeat? You have a good memory. Actually I wrote this after reading another blog. The writer was burned in a plane crash and she was lamenting that she no longer looks the same. It made me think about this comment from my husband and how true it is. When you love someone, you don't notice wrinkles or scars... you 'see' the one you love.
