about to go down for night #4 all by my lonesome. keri and the kids went to college station for a long weekend as keri takes care of her sister's kids -- one pregnant mom and 5 kids at her ankles -- and i've been bachin' it ever since (poor me). i'm missing my girls bad, and i'm as aware as i've been in a long, long time how much keri and i are connected.
other times i've been outta town on a trip while keri's been at home, but this time the roles were reversed. doing my daily stuff here -- routines, work, home, friends -- but doing it alone. man, i'm missing my bride!
i'm taking most of the day off tomorrow to reconnect. and it's our 14th anniversary of our wedding, so i think we're going to go to some swank restaurant (texas road house...or pappasitos...?) and enjoy some high class entertainment in the city (a movie?). already spent some serious cash on a recent trip to colorado, so the anniversary budget is low.
love is such a gift from above. romance is part of the fullness of life He offers.
and i'm so grateful.
Master, why do i get to have a true companion like keri? i don't deserve her. You are too generous! please empower me to be to her as You have been to me -- make me more of a servant. make me more tenderhearted...more present with her...less self-absorbed...more romantic...more willing to sacrifice...
i pray You are honored by the way i lay down my life for her, Lord...
