Smile

Today I have a great reason to smile! I have the most amazing husband and family in the world!

God is blessing us in ways we don't deserve! (news to come in a future post maybe next week)

So many wonderful things are happening!

Today try greeting your spouse with a smile and a hug when they come through the door instead of what all went wrong that day......if you must tell them wait til after dinner. :)

Be Blessed,

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to all of my Love and Marriage Readers! May you have the best day ever!

Whether you are working today or staying home, remember it's the little things that count. Yes we like material things and they are nice but what matters most is the raw emotions and sincere moments that we celebrate today. Remember how you felt on your first date or what you did to impress your spouse while dating?? Try that today, Really show them how you feel and how much you appreciate them.

I snuck out of bed this morning without my hubby noticing and made him heart shaped waffles and delivered them to him in bed...he kept blinking thinking he was still asleep lol. I sent him to work with a pork chop sandwich, chips and a love note written just for him. When he comes home he will will have his clothes in the bathroom, his towel and wash clothe set out, dinner on the stove and the evening to just relax and I also have a sheet for him to read that I signed, that just tells him how I promise to really try this year to be a better wife.

I pray you all have a great Valentine's Day and remember to Celebrate Jesus in the midst of it!

Be Blessed,

Love those babies

I realized today how important just 5 minutes is in their eyes, It means the world to them. I sat down and told them stories and their eyes just lit up :). I may not have any of my own yet but I love them as they were my own. I'm asking all the moms out there to take more time with those babies because you never know when God will need them back. They will thank you for it!

Also Valentine's is coming up on Thursday, Don't forget to do something special even if it's just a card, a meal, a text saying something special for your spouse, or just remembering why your fell in love with your spouse in the first place. I plan to write little love letters and stuff them everywhere in my hubby's trucks and dresser drawers lol, fix him breakfast before work and then cook his favorite meal for supper :)

What are your plans? Tell me in the comment space below. I'd love to know and I'm sure others are wanting ideas also.

Be Blessed,

Do you ever feel like disappointed or down? Do you always look to people to brighten you up, only to be disappointed? Does life seem to keep knocking you down? Then why not turn to Jesus in those times? He is always there, He will never forsake you.

He can help your life and your marriage to prosper. Give Him your troubles and let Him work them out for you. He can make a way where we see none. Just yesterday there was a situation that only God could work out and you know what...HE did just that! So keep the faith it will work out.

I pray for those hurting today, that they will turn to Jesus and let Him work out the problems in their life.

Be Blessed,

Regina Cozad

Love the Inlaws!

So many people don't realize when you marry your husband/wife, that you are marrying into a family and you have to be equal about loving both their family and yours. I just don't understand why people can't stand their inlaws, the bible says for us to love everyone so why not just love them even if they do get on your nerves and you feel they are always in your business. They are probably trying to help you be a better person, be open minded and try to understand where they are coming from.

You are probably asking yourself why in the world is Regina blogging about in-laws!!! Well I'll just tell you lol, Mine are moving not even a 1/4 mile from my house in less than 2 weeks :) and I'm happy about it! I love my in-laws, even though sometimes we might not agree on things, we still are a family and love each other! They have been in Tennessee the whole 4 years my husband and I have been together and they will finally be coming to our house for the 1st time :) Above is his mom, Myself, My hubby and his step-dad aren't we cute on our wedding day.

I pray that you find peace in loving your inlaws and find a balance in spending time with them. I pray that you realize they are important to your husband. What are ways that you include your inlaws in your life?

Be Blessed,

Regina Cozad
