Well, at least I am consistent.
The greeting. I am pretty good at hellos in comparison to goodbyes. Eric is into texting every morning now that he joined this century so I have reciprocated the morning greeting with matched enthusiasm. I actually enjoy that he's thinking of me even when I assumed the opposite as he isn't in a place where he can usually talk, so he doesn't call often.
The demonstration. Well that was kind of difficult as today was Thanksgiving and we spent all day together. He had planned to go shopping with me in the evening and as the day wared on he was thinking against it. I had already made arrangements for my mom to stay with the girls overnight but I 'chose' to let him off of the hook. I said nothing about disappointment or wasting my mom's evening. Gladly, he re-changed his mind later in the evening. I think it could have been much less pleasant had I guilted him into going. This way, he enjoyed it. I actually pooped out first!
To cherish him. Not gonna say much about how I showed that but we've come to a very healthy place in our appreciation of each other's physical bodies. I have struggled in the past with inadequate feelings about my body. Some were a result of truth and some were (are) based on worldly lies. I believe that agape love sees the human body of our spouse with spiritual eyes. We see the soul with skin. I do not have other words to describe it. I can only agree that it is different than the lust that was discussed in that earlier chapter.
Blessings to you and your husbands ladies. May you cherish every opportunity to be Jesus to this man!
Kate
