My husband and I had the privilege to attend a couples' retreat this weekend. We had a wonderful time together. A candlelight dinner the first night set the mood for the entire weekend. We enjoyed preaching on the husband/wife relationship. It was wonderful to have God speak to our hearts. I told my husband how thankful I am that we have a God that deals with us on a personal level. How wonderful it is to have God convict and bring to light hidden areas of our hearts that are not right with Him.
The snow fell and created a romantic atmosphere while we were at the camp. However, it wreaked havoc when we were trying to get home; causing a 3 hour trip home to take 5 1/2 hours. We were thankful to arrive at home safe and sound - albeit, just a bit later than planned. How blessed we were with a babysitter who stayed later, postponed precious plans, and created an absolutly delicious soup for us to enjoy once we arrived. 
How clearly God has laid on our hearts this ministry to the family. We have been working long and hard at getting the website up and running for our ministry. We finally have it on line. You can view it here. Please note, that we are still working on it - and several of the pages are still under construction. Feel free to email us with any ideas you have about the web site. We want imput!!Well, I trust you have a wonderful week. Enjoy the love of your life - and thank God for the ability to love.
Blessings,
~Martie
