I mentioned it in passing....

Last week when on lunch break with Court, I mentioned that I read an article that said : to keep down clutter in your kitchen keep your dining room table set.

I came home to this:

It is a wonderful feeling to be listened to.

What a good guy.

Howdy....

Sometimes when things get stressful..

the kids are crying..

the car won't start..

I am sleep deprived..

or sometimes this all happens at once,

Tt becomes far too easy to take the frustrations out on Court. Court has a gently reminder " The kids are the enemy not me." And while we don't really believe are children are the enemy, it makes me smile and reminds me that he and I are on the same team.

Love and Marriage.....

I have a lot of faults.

I can admit that. (sometimes)

I know that I can be negative.

I know I can be unforgiving.

I know that often times I lack grace.

I know my husband has faults.

I can admit that.(all too frequently)

But I know he is one of the most optimistic people I know.

He is forgiving.

He is very gracious to his wife.

I also know every Marriage has its faults.

I can admit that. (actually everyone admits that)

But I think that is the point. God uses two faulty people living with each other everyday to build habits of grace and forgiveness.

So I am dedicating mondays to marriage.

Just because the people are faulty it doesn't make the plan faulty.

Love does not seek it's own.

(props to my brother for the idea of marriage monday)
