When we last posted we were “giddy” with excitement about our vacation. We couldn’t wait to pull away in order to have undistracted time together. Now we are home, and our vacation has become another memory to tuck away in the scrapbook of our hearts. It was everything we’d hoped it would be and more.

First, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to all of our friends who provided excellent guests posts for us last week. We can tell by the comments and the traffic how much you benefitted from their writing, which is exactly what we knew would happen. What gifts they are to Christian marriages! So thank you to:

One Flesh Marriage

Journey To Surrender

Intimacy In Marriage

The Generous Husband and The Generous Wife

There is a question we always ask each other when a special time or vacation has come to an end. It is this, “What was your favorite part of our time together?” Knowing we’re going to ask ourselves this question at the end of the week helps us notice those moments as they are happening. We’ll often say, “I think what we’re doing right now will be my favorite memory.” 

You know what has actually started happening? We are finding ourselves with more than one favorite, and this is certainly allowed. We have ended up looking for favorites each day, embracing the adventure when things don’t go as planned, and being grateful for whatever it is we get to do. It helps us be present in the moment, instead of looking for what’s around the corner.

Try it the next time you’re planning something special and see if you don’t have more to be grateful for as the time comes to an end. This has certainly been the case for us.
