The Power Of Love

I haven't posted in a long time and I have A TON of things that need to be posted BUT this is what I felt like I needed to share with Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Blogger. Today in my ward sacrament meeting the importance of the family unit was talked about. Now, in case you haven't noticed the family is being torn apart and it is awful! The devil and his companions are working EXTRA hard to make sure the family is broken. Divorce rate is higher than ever, teen pregnancies, abortion... the list can go on forever. Our homes need to be a refuge for not only our children, but ourselves as we face this wicked world each day! We need to feel peace, love and comfort. Things that are almost completely non existent in today's society. Not even friendly smile or "Hello" is offered. We as a family need to make sure our homes are a haven from the hell we encounter.

I think that all of what was said up there starts with love. A selfless love. A love to do anything for your spouse and your children. Taft and I were both raised in great homes with FABULOUS parents. We were raised in homes that were refuges to us. I know for me I loved being home because I knew there I could find love, support and the feeling of peace from my day at school or work. There was always something about coming home that I loved. Taft and I have tried to make our home that way. I know when I come home I feel relief and I can feel love that resides in our home. And that starts with us loving one another the BEST we possibly can each and every day.. I've only been married one month and a couple of days HOWEVER I find new ways to love Taft each day. I also find new ways to better myself for him. Marriage is a job. A hard job, one you MUST dedicate 100% of yourself each and everyday to that tender, precious and fragile relationship. I cherish my marriage more than anything. It is a blessing to be married to such a great man, who constantly does the best he can for me.

 I am going to share a Mormon Message that Taft and I watched together today, and boy grab your tissues. It is SO powerful! I cried, Taft cried (that really isn't a big surprise on both parts) but it shows what love, selfless love is about. I encourage every single one of you to watch it. It is so remarkable what love can do to you if you treasure it.

Enduring Love

"If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You don't expose it to the elements. You don't make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by." -Elder F. Burton Howard
