Right now it is November already (hard to believe, the months just fly by!)

Duane has not had much time to go hunting/fishing this year as in years past. He was thinking about going this Monday through Wednesday. But, he was a little concerned about me being alone on part of his days off. Now, he was not hinting for permission without whining to go… He’s not like that. This is love!

And this is love!

When he told me he was thinking about going but felt it might be hard/sad for me, I immediately jumped in. I told him how he always has my blessing (not my permission – he knows he doesn’t need that) to go whenever he wants: even if it’s only a half day notice. I know how much he loves me! (Married forty-three years!)

I tell him heartfully that I know the season is short; Minnesota, you remember. I know his opportunities are limited (he works full-time.) And I always want Duane to remember this a gift to him from me: one that shows my deep love, my deep caring about his joy!

Our pastors always tells us it is a blessing to bless!

AND HERE YOUR GO!

Matthew 22:35-40
One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Duane is my second-best friend! Guess who is first! He is my brother in Christ, my lover, my friend, and my protector!

I hope you are so well blessed!

Remember women, your priorities are to be: God, spouse, family, and if you have an outside vocation, career is last.
