Four years ago I posted this blog, feeling grateful for my lifetime partner, dear, precious, faithful Bob Beekman.
Today I am reposting it with even greater gratitude and a few more photos for the fun of it.
PARTNERS
Partners add dimension
To our self-focused lives.
They draw us out
To form a bigger circle.
If we are blessed indeed
With a loving partner who
Accentuates our strengths
And helps us build up
Our areas of weakness,
Then we have cause to
Celebrate with abandon!
Everyday is a gift
Of celebration with
My life-time partner,
Bob!
I wish for you
the blessing of
a “Bob”
in your life!!
Have a blessed Friday
and come back
and see us again this weekend.
Love,
JanBeek
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 – Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians says love endures all things. Thank God, Lordy, Lordy, my Bob certainly has endured all things! What a blessing that he put up with me all these 60+ years!!

I am sorry to say after 30 years and all the abuse I went through I filed for divorce back in May. My husband was trying to kill our oldest daughter with poison a doctor told us since he knows him as well. It is wonderful to see that in our world there are couples who loves each other

I’m sorry your husband ended up being so dreadful. I would wager that he wasn’t always like that. What a shame! But, I’m glad you were strong enough to free yourself from those negative bonds!

Porn, drinking, and drugs combined with violent tendencies paint a deadly picture. Good for you for getting away from it, seeking protection, and relying on God for your strength!

Don’t be too hard on yourself. I am one of those people who always tries to see the best in others. I might have been blind to some of his self-destruction and harmfulness to others, too.
