How Can a Woman Not Love The Lord?

I got this in an email today, and I liked it.  Thought I would share it with all of you.

How Can a Woman Not Love The Lord?

• He is a gentleman
• He is confident 
• He is a provider and protector
• He is rich and powerful
• He owns everything; there is nothing He wouldn't do for me 
• He perfects all things concerning me 
• He anticipates my wants and needs
• Every day He tells me and shows me how much He loves me
• I don't have to perform in order to earn His love 
• He keeps all of his promises
• No one can influence His opinion of me
• He is the ultimate intimate partner
• He can't 'disown' me because I am a part of Him
• He prepares a table before me 
• He covers me and doesn't expose me
• He wrote His loving words down so that I'll never forget how He feels about me!  

NOW THAT'S LOVE!!!

Any man, who wants pointers on how to love a woman, should study GOD!

Ladies, wake up every day and thank God for being the best 'man' in your life!

Today I'm thankful for:

* Good friends

* Some peace and quiet  :)

* Having lost 6 pounds so far on my new diet. Yay!!

The Things I Never Needed

There is a blog that I LOVE to read.  It's by the one and only Lula.  She is not only fabulously funny, she has a great ear for music.  Monday she posted a song by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. The song is titled "Things I Never Needed," and I fell in love with this song. Can't wait to get over to iTunes and download their album.

Here is the song for your listening pleasure, and the lyrics below:




Take a long hard look at my face
Take away the things I can't replace
Take my heart, go on take it away
I've got nothing to say

Take away this sense of regret
Take the things I need to forget
Take the mistakes I haven't made yet
They're all I have left

I don't want to be the one who lets you down
All I did was run myself around
I wish I could have seen through your eyes
Maybe then I would have realized
I'm the only one who's bleeding
For the things I never needed
The things I never needed

Take a good long look at yourself
Take the weight off everyone else
Take the hardest blow that was dealt
It's all on your shoulders

I don't want to be the one who lets you down
All I did was run myself around
I wish I could have seen through your eyes
Maybe then I would have realized
I'm the only one who's bleeding
For the things I never needed
The things I never needed

I don't want to be the one who lets you down
All I did was run myself around
I wish I could have seen through your eyes
Maybe then I would have realized
I'm the only one who's bleeding
For the things I never needed
The things I never needed

Things I am greatful for:
1) The love of discovering new music that I love
2) Day's off with a nice summer breeze coming through the window
3) Taking my pup to the dog park to play fetch and let her run free (she is greatful for this, too!! We are going this afternoon and I can't wait.)
