Better Than Newlyweds

Where the Honeymoon never ends!

LOVE NEVER FAILS | Better Than Newlyweds | Stacy Hudson

February 2, 2016 by Mrs. Hudson

We all know that Love is important…but I think we forget that it is also powerful.

You have probably heardĀ 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 read before…it is often read at weddings (it was read at ours! šŸ˜€ ) but take a minute and pray for God to open your eyes and heart and then read it again on your own and let it soak in.

Ā 13Ā If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2Ā If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3Ā If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4Ā Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5Ā It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Ā Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7Ā It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Ā Love never fails.Ā 

1 Corinthians 13:1-8

Verse 8 has always resonated with me. Love never fails. That is so firm…so sure. While going through life and all the trials and hard times that come our way… I need a reminder because even though it is so profound… I often forget.

My need for a reminder has lead to the creation of a leather bracelet hand stamped with “LOVE NEVER FAILS”. These will be for sale here soon! We hope it will serve as a constant reminder about the power of Love…. after all…God IS Love!

They will be available individually or as a set of 2 (Husband/Wife sets). Wear them as a reminder that Love Never Fails and that it also covers a multitude of sin and can improve/restore your marriage.

  • Hatred stirs up conflict, but loveĀ covers over all wrongs.Ā Proverbs 10:12
  • Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. Ā Proverbs 17:9
  • Above all, love each other deeply, because loveĀ coversĀ over a multitude of sins. Ā 1 Peter 4:8

Leave a comment below if you would like to be contacted when the bracelets available for purchase!

Marriage and Motherhood are Wonderful Teachers | Stacy Hudson

October 26, 2015 by Mrs. Hudson

Marriage and Motherhood can teach us a lot if we let them.

{So I didn’t get the below blog post published in time to go out in the “Marriage Monday” email… but I’m not letting that stop me. I wrote the below on 10-25-2015 at around 1 in the morning.}

I’m just now getting to bed after a long but wonderful day that was proceeded by a long but not so wonderful day and night. My sister-in-love (my hubby’s sister) got married today! And We were up all last night with our baby girl and a stomach virus.

I’m just laying here looking at the two most precious blessings in my life. I would take their picture but I don’t want to risk waking them. This is one memory I’m going to have to tuck away in my heart for safe keeping.

They are my two most precious blessingsĀ andĀ they are also my greatest trials.

Let me explain. šŸ™‚

Marriage and Motherhood are Wonderful Teachers

Marriage is a wonderful teacher. When my husband and I have disagreements (I prefer to call them “disagreements” rather than fighting! šŸ˜‰ ) I always learn more about myself and how I need to grow and change. I see my selfishness. I see my impatience. I also learn more about my hubby. I see his kind heart and his patience with me. Those things are what I remember after we have a “disagreement”. After all, those are the important things.

Motherhood is a wonderful teacher also. With our sweet baby girl… well… motherhood is just hard….And that is an understatement. I have a new appreciation for my mom and all moms out there.

Every sleepless night and every night filled with crying fits and a wide awake baby…they end up teaching me something. I learn that I am stronger than I think I am. I learn that my husband is more caring than I ever knew. I learn that the patience I have with my baby and the joy I get from watching her learn new things is how God is patient with me. He also delights when I learn new ways to honor Him and live a Godly life. In the middle of it though… to be honest… I usually hate it… and I often ask “why is motherhood like this?” There is almost nothing more heartbreaking than a crying baby that nothing seems to help. šŸ™ But once we are on the other side of it… and she is sleeping peacefully on my chest… a calm comes over me and I feel like I can do it again the next day. As my mom often sings… “One day at a time.”

I would encourage you to try to and remember those things. Look at what you can learn from the trials in your life. God is always patient with you and wanting teach you something new about yourself and those in your life.

Marriage and Motherhood are wonderful teachers if we are willing students.

Easier said than done I know… but just try. It is better than remembering the bad things that make us bitter and I bet we are all pretty good at that. It’s time we change our focus. It’s time we focus on God.
