For 18+ years Rebecca occupied one of the bedrooms in our home, filling it with her clothes, school books, and various and sundry items. She ate at our table, drove our car, and followed me around pushing the cart in the grocery store. Currently, I find myself living in one of the bedrooms in her house, sorting through my clothes in her closet, eating at her kitchen table, and staring at her decorated walls as I drift off to sleep. I drive her car and follow her lead in the grocery PX at Fort Bragg. Who would have guessed?
Change happens and we learn to adjust. Yet, there are other things that remain the same. I still give advice in the kitchen, while she still laps me in the 50 meter pool on base-even at 9 months pregnant! We still worship God together on Sunday in church and share ideas on projects-currently its the color scheme in the nursery. Pedicures are still one of our favorite luxury outings.
Life is a delicious medley of experiences; some hand-picked and others thrust on our plates. Are you finding joy in what is now being served to you?
I am!
