The Emotions of Romance
Our office at home as two desks--one for Kristy and to her back, one for me. I have a very nice office at church, but all along we have found ourselves working back to back in our home office. When we bought and remodeled our home, I made the office as nice as we could especially for Kristy.
Not long ago we were working back to back, and I heard some sniffles. I was focused on my work and at first didn't pay much attention, but the sniffles got a little louder and so I asked Kristy, "Are you OK?"
She responded as she continued to type her novel on her computer, "This story is getting me. Its so sweet, so good."
Her romantic, deep feelings could not be constrained. Later she was laughing about the story and then later on she was quieter.

Our romance has been like that... with laughter, joy, tears, some dancing, and reflection. The emotions of romance have spilled over into our hearts and has made life full, significant, and exciting. Filled with lots of fireworks....look at Kristy's past posts on fireworks.
I encourage you to let the emotions of romance flow over and out of your heart. It will make life fuller, enjoyable, richer.
How is Kristy?
She had a very tough beginning of the night, but thankfully finally fell into sleep and rested well. She gets confused but is a trooper...a very classy trooper.
Please keep praying for Kristy...for us.

Thank you, Milton, for the wonderful pictures from your wedding and more recently. God is hearing our prayers and we will continue to pray for both of you.
Love and prayers for you both.
Daily, Milton. We lift up Kriosty and you and your family. If love could heal, then she'd already be free of the cancer, for she is loved greatly by a multitude of people.
But above all, she is loved by God - more than we can neven begin to fathom.

Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we ARE healed.
Kristy,
If I were critiquing Isiah 53, I would mark the conflict in the verb tenses. How wrong! God is reminding us that our Lord, Jesus Christ, is the all-powerful, sovereign God, who has the power today. Not just way back then, but today! I am trusting God for your healing! Know that God loves and cares for you and thousands of people are lifting you up in prayer.
Your Sister in Christ,

Great Aunt Kristy and Uncle Milton,
I have been following the blog since right before Kristy's surgery. Thank you so much for keeping the blog up to date. It is a really nice way to feel like I am connected. My wife Elizabeth and I have been praying for you both daily. Your situation hits very close to home. I pray that God gives you the strength to continue to confront this thing head on.
I am sorry that we never were able to become very close. I hope at somepoint Liz and I will be able to make our way to FL so we can visit.
Take care and God bless!

Kristy and Milt, "Mama Ruth" and I are both checking your blog daily and continue to pray for you and your extended family daily. Much love from us to you.
Milt, I'm sure God is doing a work in the lives of others through your blogging.
Dear Milton and Kristy,
You have both been on my heart so often today, so extra prayers are going up for your comfort and peace. I sent a little package your way, so watch for that in a day or two. Just wanted to share a little love and let you know we are thinking of you and praying for you. May God multiply back to you all the love and care you have shown to others over the years...me included. : )
Love,
Carrie
I love the picture of you with your fingers crossed, Milton, and you winking, Kristy! I honestly believe that a sense of humor is essential to any relationship, and it looks like you both have had that from the beginning!
Still praying for you....

Milton and Kristy,
I have and will continue to pray for you both. I just sat and wept over your post to husbands called Tough Men and Tender Romance. Could I have permission to post on my blog a part of your writing to husbands? I would give you full credit and ask my consituents to please visit your blog and pray for Kristy often. I think the mnore husbands that can read what you wrote the better many marriages would be. Thank you for the gift of your insight and for sharing so tenderly.
You can contact me at Lysa@Proverbs31.org. Or you can visit my blog at www.LysaTerKeurst.com
Blessings!

Dear Kristy,
Two Christmases ago, a five year old classmate of my grandson's was hit by a car. The prognosis was grave...the miracles have been many. Her story captured of the hearts of many, as has yours...I join the hundreds and hundreds of people praying for you and your family. Jayne Schooler (AWSA) and a pastor's wife in Ohio
Hi Kristy & Milton,
Thanks for the updates and sharing your hearts so openly with all of us. Paul & I are continuing to pray for all of you.
I'm so glad Kristy is home and we're still praying for that miracle. I'm reading your blog daily, thank you again for keeping us posted.
Love in Him,
Lynn
