The Daily Something for 5/18-19/13

vase-bf-ft

There's a woman who's fondest memory is of the morning she broke her mother's "priceless" crystal vase.  

She was a child, and her mom was having a party.  She had taken her fine crystal from the cupboard and carefully washed it and placed it on the table.  The crystal represented the only valuable material possession her mother owned, and it was used only on special occasions.  

In her rush to get things ready for her guests, the woman's mother lovingly said to her young daughter, "Would you please find some place to settle while I am busy in the kitchen, darling?  I just don't want to step on you."  So the young girl crawled underneath the table.  Unfortunately, she kicked the leg of the table and the crystal crashed to the floor, exploding like shrapnel.  She had destroyed the most elegant thing her mother possessed.

"I'm so sorry," the girl sobbed.  Her mother gathered her in her arms and said, "Don't cry, honey.  You are far more valuable to me than a simple vase!"

Children are our treasures, more precious than anything we could ever buy or earn.  They're a "heritage from the Lord" and a "reward" (Ps 127:3).  Do your children know how precious they are to you?  While you share that with them, know that God thinks the same way (even more) about you!

What We're About

Authentic Intimacy is a non-profit organization designed to minister to women on all topics related to intimacy in marriage and intimacy with God. We are addressing sexual intimacy within the framework of marriage but also speaking into the emotional and spiritual intimacy of women using practical examples and everyday language.

What you'll experience here is unlike what has been offered anywhere. Our goal is to build a community of women who feel safe addressing their questions and struggles with intimacy. We're not afraid to talk about the "tough" topics, and we promise that our interactions will always be God-honoring, friendly, and conversational.

Do you ever wonder if there's hope? If love really exists in a world so wrapped up in lust? Or maybe you have shut the doors to your heart but know that "this isn't how life is supposed to be." There are so many women who have these kinds of questions but don't know where to go – or who to ask. That's why we're glad you found us.

Our intent is to empower you with God's perspective and to help you understand your unique role and beauty as a woman. We invite you to come back to our site to participate in our blogs and online forums. . You can ask your questions about life's most significant heart issues and get the answers that are right for your situation. We're working on a wide variety of articles and videos, interviews and special features to help you work through what your heart desires… Authentic Intimacy.
