MEDITATION MONDAY
.
It's still the wee hours of the morning when I write this; still dark outside! Steve and I are still in Boyertown, PA after spending the weekend at a marriage retreat at a gorgeous bed & breakfast - The Twin Turrets. The fellowship of other christians on this journey of marriage was great. The speakers were Biblically based, practical, and transparent. Oh, that's right... the speakers were Steve and me!
.
The topic of the weekend: In-to-me-see (Intimacy) is not always one that's easy to forge with a group of people who come from many different stages of their marital journey. Yet, if I were to narrow it down to two things that I took away from the weekend...
- What attracted you to your spouse in the first place? What were the characteristics of his that made you "taken by his love?"
- When did your spouse become your enemy? Your spouse is not your enemy! The devil is your evil enemy! (see Saturday's post)
As I have pondered what first attracted me to Steve, I was once again drawn to that little ABC exercise of the characteristics of Jesus. What were a few of the characteristics of Jesus that I saw in Steve and loved about him? That's what I'm meditating on today. Then, I plan to expand it to what I see in him now. I encourage your to do the same for your spouse. Let's meet back here tomorrow and be grateful!
