Being an incurable
romantic,
is not my fault!
It's definitly all
His doing.
Since we all know,
that God is
the creator
of romance.
So, if we let Him
into our lives,
here's what will
happen.

He'll wake you up
in the morning,
feeling like you
have just been
hugged by your
soul mate,
and you have!

You'll find yourself
madly adoring
your sullen teenager.

You'll dance in the
kitchen,
with your spouse,
instead of arguing
about money.

Most of all,
you'll fall in love
with yourself,
and feel adored,
because you are,
by the One who
made you!
< !signature-->

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Wonderful thoughts Ellie!  

"hugged by your
soul mate,
and you have!"

'Tis just such a warm and gentle hug I feel when I'm at peace with all. Beautiful!

Best wishes,

Ellie-
I love your perspective--and I agree with you, anything connected with God, the Giver of every perfect gift- takes on a specialness by that very fact.
  Thanks for sharing these precious thoughts.

Ellie, you've shown the excitement of living close with our maker, which is seldom mentioned.  Little IS much when God is in it.
Thank you.

This ordinary frisky behavior is definately the fault of God!  Made me smile to think of you enjoying life so fully.  Bob <><

Ellie,

This was charming and seeks to infuse life's mundanity with the electrons of God's mirth.
Loved its felicity and also its fitting practicality.  What a combo (rare at times no?).  Anyway thanks for sharing!
