Love is so much more giving than receiving. I saw this in my husband the other day as he so wanted to make me smile. I don't want to paint myself to be a grouch, who would right. But moving to Las Vegas for the second time can be a bit of an adjustment, especially for someone who grew up with such a large family. Moving to a place where you know no one can be lonely and even intimidating. So the other day I missed my family and home so much he (Rigo) wanted to take me for a little drive to grab some yogurt at a place called the Golden Spoon. We drove there and I noticed he wanted to make me laugh and just see me smile. Once I had my yogurt in hand me saw my face and said, "that's what I wanted, a smile." I know it seems silly but little things like these make me see Christ in my husband. No one is perfect but God does use imperfect people to show Himself.
As I was spending some time with the Lord while my husband was off at practice I read that quote in the picture posted and was reminded of earlier that afternoon. As hot and tired as Rigo was he made an effort to just want to see me smile during this time of adjustment. I realized that if he wants to show me that, how much more does Christ want to show me comfort and peace.
Matthew 7:11
It has been a while since I last shared and am amazed at all Christ has done for my husband and I. Through the difficult and not so difficult. I need to remember Matthew 7:11.
