Lost in love

It’s becoming a tradition, our Valentine’s Day weekend at the shore, and it is fast becoming a favorite for both of us.  We stopped at El Dorado on the way in for dinner.  You know you’ve been there a lot when the owner recognizes you and asks whether you want the usual, lol.  The weather wasn’t so bad Friday night, and it didn’t take long for the camper to heat up.  After settling in we popped in the first DVD of the Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage seminar we borrowed from a friend.  What a hoot!  Saturday morning we found a new favorite place for breakfast and enjoyed a great buffet, then we went shopping.  (You know your husband loves you when he takes you shopping, lol.)  We spent a little time at the outlets and then headed to downtown Lewes (lots of cute boutiques) where we walked for hours in and out of the shops, making a few purchases along the way.  He loves to spoil me and has gotten quite good at it :)  Though we hadn’t planned to have Mexican food two nights in a row, we found out a very popular Mexican restaurant downtown called Agave had just reopened so we went there.  It was delicious!  We got back to the trailer relatively early and watched the second DVD.  A lot of what was taught in the seminar are things that God had already downloaded to us years ago, but it was still worth watching and I’d recommend that series to anyone looking to improve their relationship with their spouse.  The blessings we enjoy just make us more grateful, actually, for what we have (which is something special).  I’m learning to trust again–maybe for the first time–and my husband’s love is a key to that healing.  This entire weekend was all about me (something I’m still not entirely comfortable with), and I could feel the Father’s good pleasure.  There were times when I actually felt Him loving me through Kevin and it kind of blew me away.  If husbands could only understand what would result from laying down their lives for their wives, they’d trip over themselves doing it.  And if wives could only get what honor, respect, and…um…other things can do for their husbands, they’d have fewer headaches, lol.  And therein lies a great mystery–to find your life you must first lose it.  Lost in love, yeah, that’s the ticket.
