23. Common

My 31 Free Writes for October play out like a serial love story in an old time magazine. It’s the saga of a young woman and how God leads her to the love of her life. Each day offers new developments in a romance only the Lord could write.

I often find myself yearning for the future to be with me right now and not allow it to unfold and blossom at its own pace. But there is a delightful savor to the process that’s lost when you pass over the middle and jump ahead to the end.

Although David and I got engaged after knowing each other for two months and then married after another 8, we were looking forward to making memories built with common experiences. We couldn’t wait until the time came when we knew each other longer than any other friends we knew.

Making memories doesn’t happen in great flourishes of spectacular events. You find them tucked away in the recesses of the daily moments that you spend together.

Sharing fun times.

Sharing problems.

Sharing deepest thoughts.

Sharing silly ideas.
​
Sharing life, moment by moment.
 
Hebrews 13:16 And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
