Marriage is hard. Everyday brings new challenges that we must face. But the good thing is that each day is a new day and we can respond in a new way if needed. If you are struggling in your marriage make a choice today to do something different. Respond differently this morning to something going on in your marriage and shock your spouse. Make them stop in their tracks and try and figure out what is different. Ask God for strength to keep moving and ask Him for healing. Give forgiveness. Be different. Every day you have many choices on how to respond to your spouse so make sure to make the positive choice each time and if you choose different make sure to change when the next one comes. This can make a huge change in your marriage so go now...make a change...and see what happens within your marriage today!
Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...
