Worship

I remember telling my husband a while back how I wished we would make God the center of our marriage.  Not exactly knowing how to do it, how to get started, or what it would eventually feel like, I knew what it looked like through other Christian couples; I knew I wanted what they had.
Months have passed and we are finally working on this task together.  This week's chapter in our marriage prayer class was about worshipping in your marriage.  Worshipping in our everyday lives, not merely Sunday mornings for our weekly top off.  How great it was to see in writing exactly what I was yearning for a lifetime ago.  How rewarding it was to see on print things we have already began to implement in our marriage!  In our class we have couples who have been married for over 30 years and a couple, like us, married less than a decade.  Great is the adversity between everyone in the group. 
The end of the class provided a task by the administrators:  to pick something off the list and implement it this week within our lives and marriages.  Previous days experiences proved which activity I needed to activate:  "Live each moment in light of the presence and Lordship of God."  Already a task I know I had attempted, already a task I know needed improvement.  Each moment, two words lighting up and flashing at me as I read the board.  Easily we say how God is in each moment of our lives, and even easier it is for us to forget in a moment of anger.  Each moment.  What a daunting task!  Rewarding it will be to implement, practice and make permanent within my life and within my marriage. 

One good thing my husband did:  Put the finishing touches on dinner so I could get everyone ready to go on our busy night.
