Yes, I got it, and I replied!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Buttercup,

Most stubborn I have dealt with????? No, I don't think so. There have been others here that actually took years of work to get to. Heck Myrta is/was no push over. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> She is pretty hardheaded too. Just ask Stanley? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

But, you see Buttercup, this is not about us getting to you. It is about you finally getting it. We just keep talking to you, repeating things over and over, and then one day you will look at your H and you will WANT to do something nice for him, and you will do it. You will like the response you get so you will do something else, and then one day the idea of losing him will jolt you like you have not been jolted and you will KNOW you are in love with him.

You actually are already but you don't know it and wouldn't admit if you did know. If you admit it, then it makes the affair seem like all the more a folly that should not have taken place. You are not ready to admit that yet, but you will be.

So we wait here letting time move on, talking to you, and it will happen. Heck, we have been working on Myrta for awhile now and she is starting to get a few things straightened out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Time for me to go home. Have a good weekend, and sometime next week I will be back on. I have a meeting to go to. Got to see 2Long and few others next week.

God Bless,

JL

PS: Keep reading it, you will start to see things and know what to do.

JL,
Have a good weekend. Thanks again!!

Three weeks ago, our churches pastor gave a sermon on reconciliation. The week before, during his preparation for his sermon, he asked my wife and I to tell our story, as an illustration of the healing and reconciliation God can provide, if you let Him. We agreed. It was pretty scary, but we prayed that God would help us say things that he could use to give people hope and to prompt couples in similar situations to start or continue the process of healing. Something my wife said during our talk may be relevant: </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> The Sunday after my confession, a key verse was “those who prove victorious will be dressed …in white robes”. As I listened in my broken state, God touched my wounded heart and whispered: “that includes you.” He also showed me that I had not accepted forgiveness for some other sins from earlier in my life. By hanging onto these and feeling like a sinner, I was more likely to act like a sinner. But now God showed me that He had forgiven me completely. This doesn’t seem fair; somehow we think that we need to carry the scars and baggage of our sin forever, but God wants us to be clean and whole. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">
