The cooler weather has caught me unprepared. I need to schedule a day to get out the fall/winter clothes and take inventory of who needs what. Thus another year rounds the bend. Where did the summer go? I was busy with other things and I missed it. Completely.
Today marks the last day to our short week. Short week, followed by a long weekend, makes a good transition into the new school year.
Plus this weekend is our anniversary. S and I have been married for 19 years. We have been together longer than we have been apart. How is it possible that I love him more today than I did the day we married? He and I are blessed to have come from long lines of married people. I know that sounds silly. But it's rare. How thankful I am to have had a front row seat in observing our parents marriages. Because of how they have modeled self-sacrificial and longsuffering love, we stand on their shoulders, so to speak. I pray that our kids, who see how we do this thing called marriage, see the same love and commitment that was modeled for us, even in our imperfection. And our imperfections are great. Despite our weaknesses, and only because of God's grace and mercy, I pray that they will see a glimpse of how Christ loves the church, and how much greater is His love that He would be the sacrifice that makes our salvation possible.
