Love is a daily journey - not a weekend trip.
Earlier
this week a sweet friend sent me a link to Gary Thomas’s blog. Author Tyler
Ward was actually a guest blogger and wrote the post I read entitled, Love is a Journey Not a Free-Fall.
Can I
just say the timing was Providential.
My
husband & I took a short weekend trip to Chicago this past weekend. My oh
my it was a great trip! We’re both avid sports fans, so our main purpose in
going was to see the Chicago Cubs (My husband’s team) hosts the Atlanta Braves
(my team of choice). I have never been to Wrigley. Since Wrigley is
celebrating their 100th birthday, I just had a birthday, AND our
teams were playing, we thought there was no better time for us to go!
Ya'll, seeing a game in Wrigley has been on my
bucket list a LONG time. How fun to cross something off the list!! Now I have
to find something new for that line on the list!
We had
this great weekend trip, and it was followed by a fairly bleak beginning to our
week. Now, our problems and adjustments are minuscule at best, but let me tell
you this article was a great pick me…
My
heart was heavy. We had this great weekend trip, but then we returned and were
back in this ‘everyday life’ routine. I was swinging between being infuriated
and being so hurt. I know there is a unique special-ness in a trip...
I also know there can be great comfort
and a different type of charm in the everyday.
I’m
praying to enjoy the everyday more! Even though I am always looking for new ways
to bring a little sparkle and excitement to the ‘ho-hum’ routine, I remind
myself that love is an everyday journey – not a weekend trip.
I’ve
been pondering how Scripture often talks about the Tree of Life and how a tree
represents longevity in the Bible. I want our new marriage to grow like that
which means enjoying my husband’s desire for routine.
