Every now
and then, God gives me a glimpse into what real love should look like. This week, thanks to my sweetheart, I had
just such a revelation. For me, vacation
means going somewhere, anywhere, that is not home. I don’t want to feel like I’m sitting home on
vacation. However, I never realized
that, until recently, my hubby would be perfectly happy sitting at home on his
vacation. Yet, for the last few years,
we have gone somewhere for vacation. My
darling husband does this not because he loves it, but because he knows I love
it. In short, the only reason that he
goes on vacation is because it makes me happy.
He puts his wants aside for me and what I want. What a beautiful picture of the kind of love
we all should have for each other; not just as husband and wife but for
everyone. We are to “consider others
better than ourselves”; to put their needs above our own. We deny ourselves something because we know
someone else has a need. How different
relationships and our world would be if we put this into action. It would turn this world upside down or maybe
right side up.
Thank you God for how you lead us. Like a shepherd leading his sheep. Sometimes through the words you spoke in the Bible, your written word. at other times, it was the wise words from friends, coworkers,or neighbors spoken at just the right time. Still other times it was a gentle tug, a whisper to our heart to move in one direction or another; intuition or a sixth sense that one way or another was right or wrong Yet, when I listened and obeyed I found the way was clear, distinct and easy to follow. You never leave us to guess which way to go. ...
