Remember

Do you remember a new relationship in your life? One that excited you so much you had no problem rising much earlier than normal just to see that person? Staying up late so you could spend one more minute with them? Do you remember how beautiful everything looked and how wonderful everything felt? Little things no longer annoyed you or destroyed your mood? Your world felt perfect?

I remember. In just a few weeks, I will celebrate 20 years of marriage with the man who changed my world. And while I love him more today than yesterday (hmm – that would make a great song! ?), I can’t say all 20+ years together have been blissful. We have had our ups and downs like all couples. Some moments have been happier than others and life has not always been perfect.

There is someone else in my life who, when I’m not being a stubborn, willful, obstinate child, always brings joy to me. He always brings sunshine to my days, peace to my soul, and love to my heart. He is there for me always and in all situations. The only downs with him result when I turn my back on him. Yet, he always welcomes me back without any condemnation. He loves me for who I am, and he loves me just as I am. And he will always be there for me. He is my savior – Jesus Christ!

Just for today – open your heart, open your life to the peace, the joy, the comfort only our Savior brings. Open yourself up to Christ and His love for you!

Have a most blessed day!
