Made it home by 2 yesterday afternoon. Unloaded the car, and started the laundry. The man headed to Clucker’s to have the car checked. That fan noise that sounded like a jet taking off had stopped yesterday morning but the vehicle still needs to be checked out today before we head to the next leg of our vacation weather permitting. Would hate to break down in South Dakota.
This trip has brought to the forefront the need for communication in marriage. We will celebrate 50 years soon. During those years at points (although married) we seemed to be single in thought and direction. As we walked down memory lane on this leg of the trip we realized what fun we had together and remembered those important turning points in our relationship with each other. Work and children seemed to place us in different times and spaces. My advice this morning is to keep couple-time every day, even if only 5 minutes go over the day with each other, and iron out any issues that reared a prickly head. Take a moment to see the world through your spouse’s eyes as well as your own.
So very grateful no family was injured in yesterday’s shooting in KC. This brings to mind a road sign seen in Buchanan Co that said… “Have you found Jesus yet? I am waiting for you.”
The car needs washing again… that will happen late afternoon on our way west. Meanwhile, a good vacuum doesn’t hurt anything.
Know you are prayed for.
