IN UNISONâ—½ MARRIAGE
Gratitude plays an important role in marriage.
It's easy to overlook gratitude when our perspective is clouded.
We rush past the gold nuggets of our past.
That’s because we are looking more at what’s approaching us.
It is good to look back for clear perspective or gain new vision.
I took the journey and here’s what I found.
Gratitude for making an apartment our first home.
The anticipation of skipping town for our anniversaries.
Recognition of our foundation - God at the center.
Our commitment to maintaining attentiveness toward one another.
Gratitude for the good health of our premature born son.
The immense joy of having our first home.
The beginning of values regarding family unity.
Loving support from people around us.
Gratitude for the excitement of purchasing our half-acre.
The wonderful birth of our second baby boy.
Our loyalty during some of the most challenging years of our marriage.
God’s faithfulness to never leave or forsake our union.
Gratitude for a church we call home.
Embarking on new wonders in our marriage & our family unit.
Appreciation for how we’ve grown in communication.
The honor to guide our sons in faith.
I wrestled with writing on gratitude.
I know it takes an intentional mindset.
That which I didn’t know if I was ready or willing.
Also, because it is a spiritual discipline.
When recognized, it exuberates God’s kindness & gentleness.
Therefore, gratitude is a wonderful gift for marriage.
I wonder if you would take the journey.
Seek out gratitude in your marriage.
First, look back with an intentional heart.
Then proceed…
