Food for thought

I was listening to K-Love this morning as I was getting ready as always, and I heard an interesting thought from one of their pastors who sometimes does little "Daily Food For Thoughts".  He said, why don't we treat our relationship with God like our relationship with our spouse?  We work at our relationship with our spouse to make it stronger and better everyday, so how come when we become a Christian, we have a tendency to stop working at it or just work at it when times get tough?  It struck me hard, because we talk at least once a month about things we are doing right, things we would like to change and what we have accomplished in the past month or so in our relationship, and it's one reason why we are as strong a couple as we are today.  I'm quite proud of the fact that we've made it almost two years with no major fights, I don't remember you ever yelling at me, and I've only yelled at you in a fight maybe a few times that I remember.  (I clarify I haven't yelled at you in a fight all that much because I yell at you every time you drive it seems :p).  We discuss the downfalls of our relationship with God as a couple, and also things we would like to work on personally, so my challenge to me as an individual, you as an individual and us as a couple is to grow our relationship stronger and closer to God both by ourselves and together in the next year.

Do I even need to say anything about this picture??

I hope you have tons of fun tonight with your friends/coworkers tonight.  Be smart, be safe and hopefully all the camels are locked up in Boston ;)

I love you my dear.

Forever and always.
