I'm thankful for date night

Date night is here! Sadly, as parents, active church members, employees, children & grandchildren sometimes these responsibilities overwhelm us & we forget to spend ALONE TIME having fun together! Our love is so strong, such a blessing; & a true extension of God's love for each of us. However, we can definitely be susceptible to all the crazy busy-ness of this life & get irritable with each other or take each other for granted. I am forever grateful that my husband enjoys spending time with me-that we can still have great conversation, laugh with each other, & revel in comfortable silence. It's an amazing miracle to share this connection with someone in this life. Not to be too mushy, but this love brings tears to my eyes on a daily basis & the only thing more moving is what Jesus did for us on the cross. Ironic that just 5 years ago I thought I was happy being single & independent & figured I would stay that way for a long time...little did I know! I should have realized that God always has a better plan for your life than you could ever imagine! Enjoy each season of your life for what it teaches you & the special moments it will bring, just remember to be open to all the new & exciting curves in the road. My journey has brought me much heartache & I have the scars to prove it, but it has also taken me to the most beautiful places on earth & taught me about who I am and WHOSE I am so I wouldn't trade it with anyone. Date night reminds me I am blessed & thankful & will always remain in the shelter of the arms of the One who loves me more than anyone.
