14 years

Here we are in the lovely month of June, with only a couple more weeks of school and schedules. It's been dreary, wet, and even a wee bit cold. But that it ok. It is ok, because life has been full and my heart is full.
I turned to Joel randomly in the kitchen the other day and asked him if he was happy. His eyes smiled back at me, he put his arm around me and said, I have great kids, a great job, a roof over my head... and I have you. Yes, I am very, very happy. How his words filled my heart with joy, how his arms surrounded me with love, and how he reminded me of this sweet boy 14 years ago that met me at the end of the aisle and said with tears in his eyes "I do."
Anyone who has said those words knows that marriage isn't easy. I saw this the other day and wanted to share. In a world where we are always told the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, I thought this was a good reminder of what God calls us to in marriage.



much love
