I remember that moment well. 🥰

And the song that was playing too: You’re Still the One. (Thank you, Shania 😉)

Thirty years of marriage wrapped up and celebrated in one dance. There are not too many moments like that in life.

But, of course, that dance isn’t a single moment at all but one built on a stack of moments. Daily opportunities to say, “I love you.”
Rather than, “I love me.” ❤️

BOTH of you.

For example, I recently glanced at a typed-up page of my husband’s goals for this year. And I couldn’t help but be curious when I saw the “Marriage” category, so I peeked. 🤫

On it, I saw items such as “Greet my wife with a loving hug/kiss every morning” and “Pay her a sincere compliment every day.” And I thought about what small things those are but how much they mean to me.

And how much they add up over time.

But the other thing that struck me? How valuable it is to be intentional in your relationship, choosing love in your words and actions. Daily building, whether it’s three years in . . . or thirty.

Because the next thing you know, you’re dancing at your daughter’s wedding.

And he’s still the one. 🤗

This is the view from our front room. ❄️ ❄️

Waking up to snow. Again.
And it feels like the longest winter I can remember.

And I’m not only talking about the weather either.

We’ve been through a long, cold season over here and maybe you have too. And it seems like people around you are basking in warm sunshine while you continue to wake up to yet another storm.

I hear you.💗

So if this is you (or maybe for a dear friend), then I’ll share some of those things that have helped me get through such a heavy season.

· Set aside a quiet moment every day to read your Bible. Doesn’t have to be lengthy or profound. And don’t consult your feelings on the matter. (Feelings aren’t always your friend, despite being the current popular trend.) Just do it. 📖

· Confide in a friend. Even if they don’t live nearby. Call them, text them, ask them to pray for you.🙏🏼

· Look for beauty and goodness in the small things: a new puppy, a kind smile, or a break in the clouds. I call it the Grateful Game, except it’s not a game. It’s real and surprisingly impactful over time. 🙌🏼

And lastly, cry out to God, knowing He sees you and hears your cries. ❤️

Watching with you for that break in the skies,
Lisa

👉🏼 Share what has helped you through a tough season? Or something that someone has done/could do to encourage you?

The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them. ~ Psalm 145:18-19

I know. It’s not Friday, so we’ll just call it

I know. It’s not Friday, so we’ll just call it a “Monday Introduction” instead. ☺️

I haven’t been on IG much lately (other than popping in on stories) and thought it was time to catch up— as well as get acquainted with those new over here. 🤗

But first, let me thank the many kind people who have reached out to ask, “Everything okay with you? Haven’t heard much from your corner.”

The answer is “Yes, I’m well.” It’s mostly that 2022 was a full year…spilling over into 2023. 😅

In order of appearance (not importance 😉):

• We moved into a new home. Still Central Oregon but a different county and setting.
• Our lovely daughter, Vienna, married a truly wonderful guy in Virginia.
• We released our new marriage devotionals in the fall of ’22.
• Then we threw ourselves into a new project, creating the Cascades Ranch Guesthouse.

But it’s also been a season where I’ve felt the need to quiet my heart, seeking what God has for us now and going forward. Pondering and praying. That kind of season. 🙏🏼

And so here I am, looking forward to sharing more with you in the coming weeks and months.

👉🏼 Alright, now I’d love to hear what’s new with you! Something you’ve done, something you’ve read, something you’ve learned—honestly, anything. I’d love to hear it! ❤️
