Bring it back
A shameless attempt at capturing your attention. This post is about relationships, not P.B., though I do mention it.
Occasionally things go unchecked…specifically in the form of relationships. Stuff gets busy and next thing you know, those you love and care about the most get the shaft when it comes to time with you.
Think of all the things that need your attention:
Your spouse.
Your kids.
Your church.
Your extended family.
Your work.
Your friends.
Your finances.
Your extra curricular activities.
And by the time it’s all said and done, a lot of the time we are spread thin and time with the wife or the husband is almost non-existent. I don’t mean time as in, “Good morning honey, here’s your breakfast”or “I took the trash out, gotta run.” I mean quality time with you and your spouse. If you’re single, I mean quality time with the ones who you love the most and who love to pour out their lives into you.
Last night Carie and I returned home from a visit to visit Carie’s dad, and we realized we hadn’t spent enough time with just the two of us. So I shut off my phone around 6:30 pm and we hung out, talked, watched some TV (Prison Break 3 represent), did a little cooking together, and focused on one another. It was one of the best nights I’ve had this summer, and I’ve had several good ones. But the truth is, we needed this time. Busy had become a buzz word for our lives, and though I’m big on relationships, my relationship with Carie is the most important.
So how are you feeling with the status of that all-important earthly relationship? Bring it back and check things out. This cannot be left unchecked for long, or this is detrimental to the relationship. Check yourself today. When was the last time I spent good quality time with that person or those people I love the most?
You may be surprised by the answer.
