No, it isn't my birthday or my anniversary. These flowers were given to me by my husband, just because he wanted to--just because he loves me! They were simply a continuation of a very nice surprise God gave to me, just because He wanted to--just because He loves me!
On Wednesday morning I received an email that was sent out to all the women in our "house church"--announcing 10 free tickets to the annual Women of Faith Conference. (The conference was this past week, Friday night and all day Saturday.) Wow! I love going to that conference and have gone almost every year since it first started in 1996. This year I knew we really couldn't spend the money on it, so I gave no thought at all to going. However, God had bigger plans for me! Not only did I get to go for free, but I got to spend my time in one of the private suites on the level that is totally off-limits to everyone except the suite ticket-holders. Now, that is true luxury, and truly a wonderful gift from God! As if that wasn't enough already, on Saturday someone in our suite annonomously paid for lunch for all of us. Just one more special gift--so greatly appreciated!
The conference was great, and so was our time together in the suite. When I arrived back home on Saturday evening, I was greeted by a loving husband and yellow roses. This morning he went out and cut some purple flowers in our yard to add to the bouquet--just because he loves me a lot and wanted to add one more special touch to an incredible weekend--just because. What a guy!
Last week my husband celebrated a new milestone:
