My Soul Mate by Carol Eliassen



It’s not every day that I tell my husband he is my soul mate.  It has been inscribed on an anniversary clock and I have spoken it several times but today I not only want to tell him what that means to me but to show him as he is growing older with me.  Today is his birthday and I want him to know that I cherish every day that we have together. 

What is a soul mate?  I think to be a person’s soul mate that you are in step with their life as they are with yours.  They cherish you, love you through sickness and health and truly believe till death do you part.  They are there when you need them for the good times as well as the bad.

I know my husband has been there for all of it.  When I had cancer he took me to surgeries and treatments.  He waited hours for me in boring Hospital waiting rooms and greeted me with a smile and a touch of a hand.  He listened to me once when I had a pity party and told me that it was out of character for me but he understood and listened anyway. 

I know what a soul mate isn’t.  It’s not someone who is selfish and thinks only of themselves.  It’s not someone who goes through life disconnected from their partner.  It’s not someone who distances themselves from their partner but also their family.  

It’s someone who cherishes the moments that God gives us to love that person he brought into their life.  A soul mate understands what love truly is. The soul mate celebrates the birth of a child, a grandchild or even the adoption of a new family pet.  They provide words of comfort or even silence when you need it the most. 

My soul mate worships God and the love for Jesus.  My husband prays with me and over me.  He leads me through prayer and prays for his family.  My soul mate puts God first and I’m okay with that since I do too. 

So today is his birthday and I want to say how much I love him and how much he means to me as I go through life with him.  I want to celebrate his birth not only today but everyday God blesses me with his presence and love.  apHHappy

Happy Birthday my Sweetheart of a Soul Mate!

The Power of Prayer

"The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something, and enter God's realm where everything is possible. He specializes in the impossible. Nothing is too great for His almighty power. Nothing is too small for His love." ~ Corrie Ten Boom

The Gospel in a Nutshell

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. What does that mean? I'm not a theology professor or preacher, but I know that the Lord lives and that he was crucfied for my sins. How awful it must have been for him. Yet, he did it. He sacificed himself for ME. Yes, for ME, and for YOU, if you accept him as your Lord and Savior, he will be with you always. How do I do what he wants? It is simple, I must tell everyone I meet. If they accept, great. If they don't, that is their choice. Why? Because they have free will. God gave it to us. I love him so much that my life is nothing without him. I love him. I need him. I know him. I will always worship him. He has saved me more than once in this life. I know he will save me for the afterlife. I am HIS. I want all my family, friends and even enemies to know him the way I know him. Will that happen? Maybe, maybe not, they have their...
