Before I start the writing I want to give a shout out to 2 gentlemen. Thank you to Jonathan and Cy.  Thank you to these nurses that helped me get situated when I had my MRI last Friday at The University of Chicago hospital. It seems like every time I get the chance to hand out my cards? It is at the doctors appointments.  Oh well. Better than nothing. Thank you to these 2 men for accepting my card. I pray you guys will be encouraged by my writings! Have great day!

What comes to mind is the saying " You complete me."  I am remembering hearing those words from a movie I saw many years ago.  It was about this sports agent whose wife had left him.  The man did what he could and said what he said to get his wife back.  After saying much stuff to win the wife's favor?  He ended with, "You complete me."

Fellow wives? If your husband said that to you would that not make you melt?  I totally think that would sound very sweet!  Now? Is it realistic? Well, you have your thoughts and I'm about to share my Deep Thoughts!

Let's 1st talk about what it means to feel complete.  The belief that a romantic partner can complete us is part of popular culture.  Now, is that true?

Well, let's look at it like this.  I have heard other married couples' stories.  Some are unable to have children so because of this reason they feel incomplete. I have heard of people who have had many children but were lacking something else that they really wanted. Again, they were not feeling complete.

Ultimately, if you really think about it no human would be able to fully complete us.  Personally, my husband is as sweet as can be.  I would one day love to be able to have  children.  Or, I would one day love to be  ompletely cured from having MS. 

However, my husband has no control over any of that. And, I know that kills him.  The same goes for my parents. I know my dad would love to have grandkids. But, he can't and he has no control over that.  I know that must kill him.   But, him and my mom both told me it was Ok to not be able to have kids.  I have no control over those things. Maybe, one day God will surprise me. 

I need to remember to prepare myself  for whatever comes my way. I will give it a hearty welcome. I know whatever it is will be awesome! So I get it.God doesn't allow me to have' kids because w  the time to do what he has prepared in advance.

My husband and my dad really did make me feel a little better when I felt not so good about those traumatic events.

They reminded me that I really had no control. If God wanted it to happen? Then, it would happen.

In the Bible the apostle Paul says , " For n Christ lives all the fullaness of God in a human body. So, you also are a complete in your Union with Christ.  Collosions 2:9-10

 Let me end my writing with some wise words from Sheridan Voysey, occasional writer of the Our Daily Bread.

Jesus doesn’t just forgive us and liberate us, He also completes us by bringing the life of God into our lives (vv. 13–15).

Marriage is good, but it can’t make us whole. Only Jesus can do that. Instead of expecting a person, career, or anything else to complete us, let’s accept God’s invitation to let His fullness fill our lives more and more.
