How are you making yourself “present” to your spouse this month? Quality time is priceless. ❤️

Was thinking about this yesterday as I witnessed a public “discussion” between spouses at the store:
“Husbands & Wives:If you treated your boss at work like you treat your spouse at home, would you still have a job?”

Our words and actions towards our spouse should be ones that build them up, not tear them down. Sad fact, many would have been “fired” long ago.

Make the changes today. Seek counsel, seek healing, seek Christ through it all.

Think on this:
“It is better to celebrate the little victories your spouse is making, than to point out every little failure. Choose to be your spouse's greatest encourager, not their worst critic.”

Good Morning Friends. Kerry and I want to share with you that on Saturday, Feb. 8th, my mom, Betty Vivian, passed away in her sleep. She went to bed Friday night and woke up in the presence of her Savior.  We are very broken hearted on her passing; however, we know that she is no longer hurting or in pain.  On Monday, March 17th at 10am there will be a Celebration of Life for our Mom at Eastern Hills Baptist Church in Albuquerque. There will be a reception to follow also at Eastern Hills. Thank you for your prayers, your love and support during these past several days. Please continue to keep our Dad in your prayers as he continues to navigate these new days.
