I had to learn to like my husband's interest...his music, his movies, his hobbies. As life has given us a pretty hard time, it was my husband's constant support and his love for Christ, that has kept me calm and without worry.

Once I let go of 'me', I was able to enjoy my husband's joys. Good for you Deb for sharing time with your husband and for giving him your undivided attention! m.

What an important, convicting nudge! You are right, the day-to-day responsibilities and commitments to our children can take center stage where connecting and doing things together once had their glorious spot in the sun. What a great reminder to put our husband's interests ahead of our own and give of ourselves with more sacrifice than perhaps we are comfortable with...what a beautiful way in which you gave to your husband and your marriage! Thank you for sharing your experience and this message....for sure sharing with readers on my page so they can be inspired (and brave if needed!) as well.

I'm glad that you had such a good time!

My hubby loves car racing and I can't bear to go to the track with him...loud noises, I can't ever hear the announcer, lots of smoking and drinking around us, and cars going in circles for hours. Ugh. But, I know he would love for me to go to a race with him. I think I'll suggest we go soon :) Thanks for the lovely post!

I actually got rid of my written journals at one time after finding them too personal. But I know the scrapbook journals would be something my grandchildren would love to read someday.

A beautiful post, as always, Brenda. Words full of grace and wisdom. I love gathering my favourite pictures in a scrapbook. I enjoyed hearing how your creative art ourney brought light and insight to you as you started seeing the clues of what truly adds joy to your heart.

Thanks so much....
