We can talk or just enjoy each others company in silence as we look out over the lake, the sailboats, the blue sky and whispy white clouds. It will be a time to laugh, and a time to cry! :Dmizzbrizzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07245224548601956794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697753428956439076.post-80098170817894751392011-07-21T15:46:23.595-05:002011-07-21T15:46:23.595-05:00PX,When I filed for divorce, I stood at the clerk&...PX,<br>When I filed for divorce, I stood at the clerk's desk and prayed for God to save us. If it encourages you at all, God wants your forever to be with your husband now, too, but He's not scared, and if that is not what your husband wants, God is still the God of Forever.<br><br>Hugging you and praying with you for the Forever you hope for.Jerri Kelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16284420474191693211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697753428956439076.post-17601597262010871062011-07-21T15:42:26.088-05:002011-07-21T15:42:26.088-05:00And here I am hoping that forever is still with th...And here I am hoping that forever is still with the man I married...<br><br>Possible?

It's cliche' but true: you'll never get where you want to go unless you know where you want to get to.<br><br>Paula, I remember when Jerry nearly died. I have thought of that often in the last 5 months. That is the artery that killed Rob. And you make WONDERFUL points. Life isn't all we want it to be all the time. Those are the times we have to choose a "plan B" that still accomplishes the goal of Forever because if we don't, life/Satan will steal it. I admire you and your wonderful hubby keeping your eyes and your actions on forever.

Those romantic weekends have been few and far between and we both miss them. We have four teenagers (oops! the oldest just turned 20, so three and a young adult) still at home. Life is busy, has had some big losses, has weathered a lot of fears. But we're still working toward forever, even when some of the little things you wrote about aren't available right now. I'm with you. Forever, please.Paulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16106076315144936177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697753428956439076.post-85095622489274136582011-07-21T14:37:43.378-05:002011-07-21T14:37:43.378-05:00When I read the part about marriage and forever no...When I read the part about marriage and forever not being synomymous, I have to admit I was like, "Whatchu talkin bout, Willis (Jerri)?" And then, as I read on, I got it and TOTALLY agree. I believe marriage is meant to be forever, but it will only be forever IF you answer it with "Forever asks". It's all about choice. Every day choosing to live purposely, love purposely, and give yourself to another fully on purpose! Forever is what I want, too.<br><br>I had a date last night and it was one of those where I started thinking about whether he is someone I could be with forever. He's a Unitarian Universalist which to me screams Humanist. He connected with me, but as easy as he was on the eyes, I needed the connection that happens on a much deeper level and that wasn't there. My time is valuable and do I want to invest it in someone who can't be my forever? Not really. So, sorry everyone else who thinks that dating is about maybe's and could be's. I think if it can be forever love that from the beginning it's there or it's not. If it's not there, better to move on! At least that's been my personal experience.mizzbrizzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07245224548601956794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697753428956439076.post-15782118030790815042011-07-21T14:29:20.201-05:002011-07-21T14:29:20.201-05:00Anonymous,I love how you put that!Blessings!Anonymous,<br>I love how you put that!<br>Blessings!Jerri Kelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16284420474191693211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697753428956439076.post-66051645300340847762011-07-21T14:15:58.550-05:002011-07-21T14:15:58.550-05:00I'll take two scoops of that, please.
