This life of ours is FULL!!
I am not complaining – we are so thankful for every minute – there are so many good things!
Blake and I do not connect much during the week, so I am so grateful that we have made Friday night date night a priority!
I heard a sermon lately that talked about realizing your goals and then working backwards from there to reach them.
About being proactive instead of reactive.
It made me think of our date night!
Blake and I DO have goals for our marriage and the heritage we leave behind!
Those things don’t “just happen.”
It takes purpose and intention and work!!
Date night hardly feels like work, but it does take intention to make our Friday nights out a reality!
Sometimes date night is a million errands – running through each store because they are all still closing early due to COVID.
Sometimes date night is coffee and just a few fun errands!
Sometimes date night is coffee and ice cream and going to watch the sun set over the river.
This choice is my favorite!!
Sometimes we talk about nothing in particular.
Sometimes we talk about very needed conversations, that are deep and hard.
Sometimes we have a time of prayer together, holding hands and taking turns praying out loud.
Sometimes we listen to a sermon on a podcast.
We let date night lose it’s importance for awhile last fall and winter.
It was NOT a good idea!
It did not make us feel mad at each other, or be mean to each other…but we just felt less connected for sure.
It felt like a loss of something very good!
See why I am thankful for date night?!
Besides the coffee, ice cream and beautiful sunsets!!
Here’s to many more Friday nights with my husband, Lord willing!!
There is NO ONE I would rather spend my time with!!
Thank you, honey, for choosing me!!
I am so happy that we get to be heirs together in the grace of life!!!
