Love

Well, I had been planning on a few things to write about, however as I sat in bed last night, wanting to write but not wanting to get up and go out to the computer I thought about it all and only wanted to write about one thing.

Love.

Between a husband and wife.

It can be so many things. A feeling, a choice, an action.

The last couple of months however has changed things for me. It has been a time of renewing in our marriage. A time that I can say I am falling in love more and more, daily, with my husband. Where we are learning that it has to first be God, our Marriage, and then Ministry. Soon it will be God, our Marriage, our Kids, and then Ministry.  I have learned that by following this order my life, and our marriage is so much more.

Yesterday I spent a lovely date day with Marshall. Going for lunch together, listening to each other, actually talking about things that weren't just surface. Then we walked around looking at different shops. One however we went into, an old fashioned hat shop, we played around in for at least 30 minutes. Trying on all sorts of hats, laughing at the ridiculous hats I would put on, and loving the hats that he would put on (as all hats look good on him). In those moments it felt that we were being kids again. Just being ourselves, having fun, and enjoying our company.

Some days it is hard to love the one that you are married to, and it ends up being a choice to love them in that moment, but when I have those days, I will think back to our date day. I will think how blessed am I to have such a great husband, one who loves me for who I am, tells me I am beautiful, doesn't care if I am a goof or "off my rocker". He cares for me, for what I do, were I am, and if I am okay. He resembles a love from my heavenly father, although God has an abundance of love for me that I will never know, I know that right now I can feel a little of that love through someone that he blessed me with, my husband. For the days I take for granted who God has placed in my life, or for when I think that he isn't doing right, or perhaps he plays one to many video games that day, I will remember that there is someone there that really cares, and that loves me with all his heart. I will stop doubting the love that he has for me, and the the love that I have for him. The love that keeps growing deeper and deeper everyday. And you know what, I can not wait until we are old and grey and are holding hands walking down the street together knowing that there stands beside me is the love of my life.



(note- if you have read Marshalls blog first, I did not write mine in response to his, and if you read mine first he wrote his before me..no copying. Just God placing it on both of our hearts that we love each other so very much)
