With all the brilliance out there encouraging us to Stay Safe and Stay Connected I want to offer a different thought. Something a tad outside the bubble we are all living in.
Two words: Home Work
Now, don’t roll your eyes at me because we have plenty to study.
1. That Man
Things are real right now for some of us. 24 hours together tends to prove there may be a load of knowledge welled up in the proclamation of love growing in absence thing. So, what happens when social distancing disallows for your heart to abound in separation? Lol. We study.
Take today as a brand new opportunity to study this man. Who is he today? Yes, we know what he was like when we were dating. We know what he is like after a hard day at work. And we know the simple ways that make him smile. But some things may have turned upside down. Let’s not lose this opportunity to grow in knowledge. Let’s abound in understanding. And let’s be strong enough to enjoy right now with him.
According to Scripture, that’s wisdom. According to me, that’s fun wisdom! 😉 I say, let’s have fun!
Here’s your passage:
~ Proverbs 24:3-4
Here’s your challenge:
– Fresh sheets in a clean, candlelit room.
– Lingerie
– You know, shave.
– Be nice. 🙂
– Listen and hear what he is saying (FYI – I failed this one this week)
– Share your emotions. Maybe less demonstrating and more sharing. Unless your demonstrating resorts back to the fresh sheets, then by all means … demonstrate. 😉
– Send those “under agers” to their rooms, put on some music or a full concert of your favorite singer/band on YouTube, grab something delicious and get lost in conversation.
– Fall in love.
Let me tell you, a girlfriend of mine is a stay at home mom of one year old twins. 🙂 Did you feel her reality?? She ordered dinner from a favorite restaurant, slipped on a dress and stilettos, put on makeup and shaved, and surprised her husband with a date night.
That takes a lot of work and planning and preparation and energy. I say, we learn from her and seize today for what it is, a time for Home work.
2. That Child
…. yes, but, number one is too much fun to group into anything else. Kids will come later. Let’s stick with number one. Like, let’s jump online and order some things…
Ready?
Go!
