The rhythm of life that I was so confident in at the beginning of summer has given way to a disappearing summer. It hasn’t been a wasted season. We had a wedding to tend to. Our days and weeks were consumed in plans and shopping and working toward getting things done.
Now that it’s over, it’s time to recalibrate my time. I have desperately missed quiet days when I can read and study. Dwayne and I also need to get back in the habit of spending regular time together—alone. I’ve noticed that it’s easy to forget to spend time together when life is busy. We see each other and say hello, but we don’t stop to check in with each other. I forget to ask him how he’s doing. He forgets to ask me about my day because we run from one commitment to another. This week, I plan to ask Dwayne how he’s doing each day and then stop long enough to listen to what he tells me.
Remember that God gave me Dwayne as a gift. I need to delight in his company and bless him. That’s my master plan for the week--to redeem my time with Dwayne. Anyone willing to join me?
