Chris and I started a devotional for couples, what a neat idea-- we've really enjoyed it. It's given us the opportunity to read and talk about things we wouldn't necessarily talk about...or ask eachother. It's really made us think at times. The first reading was from 1 John. It talked about how many people believe in "love at first sight" but yet marriage is much more than an emotional attachment or sexual attraction. True love is reflected only when couples begin to develop appreciation and admiration for one another-- an awareness of the other's needs, strengths and character. From there it's suppose to grow over a lifetime...I can't even begin to imagine or comprehend a lifetime...that's a LONG time. Makes me excited and anxious at times.
With that said, I've really been praying and working on appreciating today. I tend to get so excited about tomorrow and our future and very often forget to stop, listen and take a look at the incredible things happening in and around our lives right now.
So allow me to update you on the <MANY> blessing showering our lives within the past few days...
Sunday we relaxed with Sharon & John at Music in the Park with live clogging music and dancers...and a BEAUTIFUL sunset! Ahhhh what a great way to relax and get ready for another week.
We couldn't quite get it right, but always seem to have a good time :o)
Chris and I are so excited and honored to be Mason's God Parents! The reality of it is something to really think about but the fun of it is we now have more reason to spoil our new baby nephew :o)
Chris took his ENTIRE day off and continued to fixed his car this week. Let him help me tell you everything he did yesterday-- he fixed the shocks, tie rod ends, ball joints, brakes, sway bar mounting bolts and bushings. Let's just say he has saved us A LOT of $$ by taking his multiple days off and fixing his car. Today during work he had a break and was able to get his wheels aligned. We rode it around tonight and it rides just like new! We hope the repairs will save us some money in the long run by allowing us to drive his car for a little bit longer...we really don't want toi get a newer car anytime soon!
So after keeping busy every evening of this week Chris and I slowed down tonight and enjoyed a yummy dinner on our porch as it rained...I LOVE sitting on our porch listening to it rain.
MMmMmmm! Breakfast for dinner. We had an omlet with mushrooms, green peppers, onion, a little feta and salsa, an English muffin wih homemade (I made it!) strawberry jam and OJ.
Finally, I can't help but SMILE big when I see sunflowers! Someone brought in a huge bucket of flowers at work today for everyone, how nice! There's something about fresh flowers I love.
I hope your week is going well. Remember to see the good and notice the <MANY> little blessings along the way!
