Thinking of you Oodiebom ✨✨

@merce3,

Good afternoon how are you in Florida? Check in I just want to know if all is well.

What I am seeing on weather reports are sheer devastation. I hope you are one of
the lucky ones.

Another back and forth day at mom’s.🏃‍♀️ Did her grocery shopping on my way over, some chores in her house and back out again for a gift card after I dropped her at the salon. My knees are mad at me🦵 and my sciatic nerve is starting to act up depending how I sit or stand. I think I need double the vitamins on mom days. It’s not easy taking care of two households.🤪

Oodie is so diligent with everything so I’m hoping it’s just power outages preventing her to check in.🙏 I am trying to think positive. Xango and those near Orlando got a ton of rain, it was record breaking as I’m sure you’ve seen.🙏

Thanks for the compliment yesterday, I so appreciate it.🥰 It is also cool in the ‘burgh and we will have remnants of the hurricane tomorrow with rain.🌧

@defg,

Oh, no boo I am not afraid to give an email addy. I have done that in the past and it did not
turn out well. People are more interested in different things and I am not for that.

I will never give out an email addy. I love Oodiebom and I trust my girls on this Thread. 💕✨

I have been doing this thread daily for eight years through living hail and then some and no
one has asked for any personal information no one. I write people every day and often they
are busy and don’t answer for days and I am alright with that.

Right now I do wish I could reach oodiebom but they could be without power here in OZ
if I have no power I have no phone, internet or power of any kind. Shizzle!

Anyway I am keeping Oddie and Xango in my prayers as well as others in our community. ✨

If we just had Oodie’s email or phone number, this would all be so simple.. I sure hope you ladies do exchange emails and/or phone numbers in the future. Remember HSNRefugees that came about from this site? We exchanged emails & phone numbers to stay in touch after the site was messed up forever by Tapatalk.☹
And I’m not afraid to give mine out! (Not my main email, but it gets checked!) [qet99 at yahoo]
I hope Oodiebom & her husband are fine & I’m praying for them daily.💜🙏💙

The Vows of Commitment

Consider carefully your commitment to marriage and partnership.

Though we make many commitments throughout our time on earth, few have a lifelong impact on the path our lives will take. The decision to marry someone you love — to bond yourself to them completely — is unlike any other and can reshape your existence. When two people have similar goals, values, and needs, marriage can result in a lifetime partnership of love and respect, shared laughter and tears, friendship, and intimacy that is ultimately fulfilling. Love is often cited as the sole prerequisite for a strong and stable married life. However, the decision to get married should be made with the mind and the soul, as well as with the heart. Carefully considering whether you truly want to get married, both individually and as a couple, can ensure that if you do choose to marry, your relationship can grow to unimaginable depths.

The decision-making process you employ to determine whether you should marry should be a thoughtful and honest one in which you appraise not only your partner but also yourself. Consider that love and attraction do not guarantee long-term compatibility. If your relationship is not secure, marriage will not make it so. Likewise, if your partner is not as attentive, loving, or kind as you would like, your becoming spouses will not change that. Marriage has no power to permanently fill any emotional or spiritual gaps in your life. Before you choose to marry, ask yourself whether you and your partner are adept at resolving conflict, can speak openly to one another, and fully respect one another. Your attitudes regarding the nature of marital commitment, children and child-rearing, and marital roles may be the same or they may differ. It is your shared responsibility to discuss your similarities and come to agreements regarding your differences that will predict how successful your future marriage will be. Oftentimes, younger couples rush into marriage just for the wedding dress, the ring, the party, and the honeymoon. Would you still be willing to be married if you couldn’t have these things?

Remember that planning a wedding is simple when compared to the intricacies of nurturing a marriage. The honeymoon and nesting period will eventually wear off, and what you are left with is a partner for life. When you work together with your partner, reassure and support one another, and are honest about your feelings regarding marriage, you’ll come to the right decision. AMEN! ✨✨
