Today is our 7th anniversary. I will never forget our glorious wedding day. I am grateful for my husband and all I have learned from him. John is a trustworthy man of integrity. As you can imagine, this season of John's illness has brought a range of difficulties into our lives individually and as a couple. I gave a talk entitled For Better or For Worse: Facing Difficulties in Marriage at our Mom's ministry this week. If you would like to hear it, you can find it on our church's website.
Go here to hear.
For Better or For Worse: Facing Difficulties in Marriage
I think it is about forty minutes long. It tells the basics of our journey in a nutshell. If you do listen, you must imagine yourself going into a beautiful room, surrounded by friends and sipping coffee. You can hear warm piano and violin music as you taste your pumpkin muffin and relish the moments that your children are having fun in the Nursery. This monthly event opens with Morning Prayer and worship, followed by a teaching. In this talk I discuss the difficulities of learning to love in the midst of tremendous stress. I confess ugly sins and welcome the grace of God to wash and cover all of us as we purpose to grow and mature in whatever circumstance we are in.

Margie--

Margie, I listened to your talk today...Gosh...I'm embarrassed to say that I could relate to your insights. I appreciate your honest transparency and how you're allowing God to grow and use you through this horrific time. I read your blog often and continue to remember your family in my prayers.
Love, Susan B.
Hi Margie,
I just now finally found your blog. I sure understand what you have written, all too well. Someone told me recently that when a marriage goes through a crisis, it exasporates any of the problems that were already there - makes them so much bigger. Don and I have discovered this, but we are looking at it as an opportunity to create an ever better marriage. We are now going to counselling together, and talking about these issues. We have energy for this, now that he is not in treatment. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I sure understand how hard this must be for both of you in so many ways. We are praying, and so in your corner. Love you both. - Sandy G-G
