Thank you ...I just now read your response, Sherrey. Thank you for being so kind, for checking out my site, and for following me! Wow! And, thanks, too, for sharing your brother- and sister-in-law's story. I am adding them to my prayer list and will remember them in my prayers here. God bless you, Sweet Sister! Have a lovely week ahead! <3Rebecca Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867206090978570737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134046314047958889.post-16774422345523606532012-05-25T13:07:23.655-07:002012-05-25T13:07:23.655-07:00Rebecca, bore me?

Interestingly enough, my husband's brother and his wife met at the age of 5. By first grade, she had decided he was hers for life! They're still together in marriage, but unfortunately we just helped her move him to a nursing home (Parkinson's with a rare dementia that has taken him from us in a startingly rapid manner). I love stories of long, long relationships and marriages.<br /><br />I'm so glad you visit, and I have been to your site and read your post for today and really enjoyed your thoughts. Your new site is lovely, and so pleasant a place that I've started following you! :)<br /><br />Blessings in the days ahead,<br />SherreySherrey Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715466245851050537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134046314047958889.post-14770990698749286502012-05-25T08:38:34.783-07:002012-05-25T08:38:34.783-07:00I enjoyed reading your post and I loved your title...I enjoyed reading your post and I loved your title. When I got this morning's assignment ("opportunity") two things immediately sprang to mind. I chose to write about Galatians 6:10, but my heart-strings were pulled toward wanting to share something about the slightly more personal and, perhaps, humorous, but I didn't. It is no accident that your post was directly ahead of mine, as, due to your title, I still get to share. :) <br /><br />Our last name is Knox. I have known my husband for the past 45 of my 50 years. As a young girl I was crazy about my future husband and knew that someday we would marry, but...I didn't know how to spell his last name. After John and I were married my mother found an old art tablet of mine where I had doodled the name "John Knocks" all over it. LOL! When our son was born I had threatened that, had he been a girl, to name him "Opportunity". I hope my story doesn't bore you. I just had to share it with someone and the title of your post just seemed to be the opening that I needed. <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing. You have a lovely blog! God bless you and yours and have a wonderful holiday weekend!<br /><br />All My Love,<br />~RebeccaRebecca Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867206090978570737noreply@blogger.com
