Ahhhh. We made it! 
It's Friday. 
Sharing with The Gypsy Mama at inCourage today. The prompt is:  STILL
And still it's you.
I would choose you every time.
Still after all of these crazy fun wonderful scary years.
Still.
Despite the incredible hurts 
overwhelming pains 
flowing tears
crushing fears...
Still.
For when my heart is thumping with fear and the world closes in and I just can't take it... 
you grab my hand 
and I go....
Still.
As we look at our boys 
and worry 
and wonder 
and delight for all that they are and all that they mean 
it's such a joy to just be
Still.
And know.
For still our God reminds me of His grace
in your smile
with your touch
as I hear the laughter and silliness of our children
Oh how I adore you. 
For...
Still you are mine.
Still.
 

 

I really enjoyed your post, Mary Jo!
ReplyDeleteThough I am not married yet (and don't really see it happening in the near future) I find your post to be a refreshing view of the reality of marriage. Your writing is encouraging and hopeful!
I LOVE this! My first time linking up with the 5 Minute Friday! Have a great weekend!
