Kelly and I enjoyed an incredibly romantic, some would even say “hot” date yesterday. Our son was off playing basketball (where else would he be?), so after driving our middle child to the fair and sending our youngest daughter on a playdate with grandma, we took advantage of our precious time alone as a couple: we headed straight for Costco and Fred Meyer for some serious grocery shopping! Yes, for us, this is a “hot” date – we love each other’s company, we laugh and act silly, and we reminisce about our pre-kid years even though we absolutely adore our children and could never imagine life without them.
To paraphrase Song of Songs 4 and avoid quoting something too racy from the Bible, I give you these words that speak volumes about my special lady: “You have stolen my heart, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes.” Why she loves me so much I’ll never know. Here’s this wonderful person, my favorite human being in the world, who knows everything about me and still chooses to say “I do” each and every day. As believers in Jesus, we all want to become more Christ-like; in her love for me, Kelly reflects the image of our Savior. I can’t wait until our cupboards are bare and our refrigerator is empty again 🙂
