I've been taking walks with my wife every day. Something that before seemed impossible with our busy schedules. It seemed as my day started to wind down hers would pick up with her business. What I noticed though is we are still busy, just in different ways. Yet our intentional desire to take these walks, to pause and talk, to enjoy one another even more is what has changed. We always did, but the priority of each other has become evident as we lean on one another more these days so our kids can count on us. We get anxious, we get tired, we worry as anyone does, but those walks help ground us more now than ever. You get to appreciate being outside, waving at neighbors, taking in the sunshine, the breeze, the moment. I saw a funny post the other day that said "Y'all married people holding up? Haven't seen I'm so blessed or he's my everything in awhile." It was pretty funny, and I won't pretend we haven't got on each others nerves or wanted to push our kids outside and lock the door. Yet here we are with another chapter in our lives to overcome, to appreciate, to find blessings. Those vows mean more now than ever and things like richer for poorer and in sickness and in health are front and center. It's a special time where we all get to reflect, to appreciate, to be intentional with our spouse, our person, our kids, our family, our friends and make these moments matter... Make them memories that we will look back on and realize while there are some dark moments there will also, by the Grace of God, be light that comes out of this dark. We can be better, we can carry these lessons with us, we can become intentional with everything we do this day and the days to come.
Believe in the Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you let the light come in and find the blessings in the moments today and the days to come.
Have a blessed and happy week everyone.
