Well, after yet another close call, I am even more sure of being able to trust God. This was a faith building experience. God is watching over us. This can not all be coincidence that people are killed just steps away from him, and he could have been killed.
Today, he was walking downtown, and the army was stopping cars and asking questions, and in 1 car, the driver took off running in my hubby's direction. The army shot the man, and the bullet went through the man into another man pulling a cart on wheels, and killed him too! My husband's face and clothes were covered with his blood and flesh and bone fragments. If that army man would have shot a second sooner, the bullet would have gone through that man and hit my husband instead! This is the second time that it was that close, but he has had other close calls too.
I just want him HERE and out of the cold and the war and the danger, because that country will get even more messed up since the elections 2 days ago. In Pakistan they use both a President and a Prime Minister, who work together. Butte's husband is the one who was voted in, and he and Musharaff can NOT work together , so I think Bhutto's husband will probably be assassinated upon the command of Musharaff.
I asked hubby if he was still shaking, and he said actually he felt fine! WOW! That guy has nerves of steel! Maybe he won't have post traumatic stress disorder as much as I thought; since he can go through that and feel fine.
For 3 years I feared making him unhappy because of my illness, but after what he has been through, he will be happy to be out of there, even if I am sick. Like he and my first husband both said, "There are worse qualities a wife can have than illness. I would rather have a sick wife than a mean or cheating or over-spending wife."
{Thankyou Lord, for protecting my husband, and for all the many blessings you give us, even those we are not aware of.}
I've got skin hunger, like babies get when their mothers don't hold them. I am affectionate and really need my hubby, even if just to hold hands and hold each other...but the rest of the marital relationship is VERY nice, too. lol. *blush* I think women crave affection, skin, and holding more than they crave sex, and men crave sex...period! lol.
This is strange. I HATE GUNS with a passion, yet after I had fallen in love with my first husband, so deep I didn't want to get out, I found out that he and his father are gunsmiths. I was really upset.
I also hate politics. Politicians are SO corrupt, yet it happened again. When I fell in love so much with this husband that I couldn't leave him, I found out he has a master's degree in political science! He loves to study and talk politics. Me, not so much.
Oh well, each husband could have had worse qualities. I have been blessed with good men as husbands. I think my last husband just had a nervous breakdown due to the constant crisises that come into my life. I fear this husband will have the same thing happen to him, but this husband seems much stronger emotionally, and has faith that carries him through the hard times, unlike my first husband.
A few words about
THE GRATITUDE ATTITUDE:
I strongly believe that the more you thank God, the more blessings He will WANT to give you, because there are so few people that ever thank Him for anything. The scriptures say it is his PLEASURE to bless those who love Him, and I find that I am almost pampered by Him because of my gratefulness. I don't always get the things I want or need, but when I pray for something and the answer is "no", I know God has good reason for it. Often I will be thinking of an item I would really like but can't afford, and I will find the perfect size, color, and it's on sale for a price I can afford, almost as if that was dropped out of heaven for me, soon after I thought about wanting it. So he does know our wants and needs and fears and troubles, and wants to help. We just need to practice to feel the Holy Spirit to guide us; to listen to that still, small voice within, and he will comfort us. It does take practice.
Ok I am babbling again. Enough for now.
Blessings to you all, my dear computer friends!
