OK...forgive me! I'm a braggart when it comes to the random display of love and affection. I can't help myself. Save the Valentine Chocolates and the over-ripe red roses (assembly-line style, of course) that men seem to turn to when trying desperately to be romantic...
GIVE ME THIS INSTEAD...
The doorbell rang unexpectedly early yesterday morning at my La Chaumière de Briarwood. I was still in my PJ's at 9AM when I opened the door to the friendly face of an older man holding a petite bouquet of gorgeous flowers~
Nothing could have been sweeter for my lonely heart at that very moment! Just knowing my hubby of many, many years had been thinking of me, stopping long enough to place an order for my favorite pink blooms, made a huge difference in what proved to be a long, yet wonderful day.
In a world where relationships crumble faster than the rising of the sun, today I again find thankfulness I've never had to experience the bitter cup of a troubled marriage.
Whatever I was...whatever I am...whatever I shall be...I would give away to him.
Blessings to you as you value all you love and hold dear...Rebecca

What a beautiful boquet. Congratulations on being loved, it's a wonderful feeling. Thank you for everything you have done to show love towards my family, it is something that could never be forgotten or repaid. You are a true beautiful Christian. Thank you. I hope to meet you when I drive down there in a week or so, we will have to get together and chat.
Blessings for you and your family,
Heidi
Oh how precious. I love a bunch of flowers from the grocery store when my husband surprises me...it is just as good as a huge arrangement of long stem roses!!
I feel the fortune of a solid marriage everytime I think about the 41 years we have been together. All the good, all the bad, all the life, all the death. It is like riding a roller coaster.... you just never know when you will drop off that high top & it will take your breath away. That is life!
This week has been good for us... We have worked together everyday on our property & home. It is a common goal & our pride & joy!
OMG... He makes my heart go pitty-pat after all these years!
Love You,
Marilyn

Hi, Rebecca,
I love your sweet bouquet. I am with you. I would rather have a small cottage flower type bouquet than any thing too big and overpowering. Sending best wishes your way. Vicki
true love is so inspiring!
This is one of the MANY reasons I look up to what you and Steve have together - and I feel SO LUCKY to have a hubby whose parents are SO IN LOVE almost 31 years later!! It makes me THAT MUCH MORE confident that we will have the same love in the future that we have today!!
Love you the MOST!!
Awesome...like I said in a earlier post he is a lucky man and you a lucky women...what a great blessing to see such love...beautiful roses and those pics are awesome.
hugs and enjoy your wonderful day.
Oh Rebecca, you are so blessed to have a wonderful husband. I read about all the blogging ladies that have wonderful husbands and I wonder what all of you have done to be the blessed ones. All of you have done something right. I have been blessed, not with a husband, but with children. And I never try to out guess God. I just thank him for my wonderful children. Guess not all of us are meant to be married.
Your flowers are beautiful!!!!!
Hugs,
Pat
Hi sweet Rebecca,

Lucky you, I bet your heart just melted and you must be missing him like crazy!
That was so sweet of him. You are very lucky to have a great husband and I think he is lucky to have a great wife.

PRAISE GOD!!! Another marriage did not bite the dust. This is a success story that people need to hear.
There is victory in Jesus.
A troubled marriage stabilized by two people WANTING to have the marriage saved and God's help.
The flowers are beautiful.

What a sweet wonderful gift from this great husband of yours. The unexpected thoughtfulness is such a gift and this charming bouquet says it all, "You are loved!"
Dearest Rebecca, I hope your hubby is on his way home...or already there. I have thought of you so often this week.
Rejoice....you understand your blessings. That is a gift in itself. Beautiful flowers.
