These two…
He leaves her little notes around the house, in the silverware drawer, on the bathroom mirror, in her favorite coffee cup. She makes sure he eats healthily, supports his dreams and believes in his goodness and integrity.
He is strength and tenderness. She is courage and grace.
They complement each other.
And three short weeks ago, Peter and Brianna committed to a life together as husband and wife.
There’s something very contagious about young love.
It draws us in and mesmerizes. Â It holds us spellbound. Â It makes one want to try a new recipe for dinner or say hello to a stranger on the street, be a better person, sing in the shower, color a picture with crayons.
Peter and Brianna make me optimistic about the future of our world. Â We pass the baton to our children and find such satisfaction in seeing how easily they grab hold of it and run with confidence, taking with them all our hopes and dreams invested.
I wonder if we really know our children fully until we observe them navigating the major milestones of life- making their way in a career, establishing a community of friends and colleagues, taking on the challenges of marriage and all the joys and responsibilities that go along with it.
After years of mothering and guiding and teachable moments, the tables have turned. Â I am a witness to my children’s journeys.
I am being taught
about joy
about life
about love..
And baby, THIS love never felt so good!
