The pond

Our pond is such a neat place to see things. We’ve enjoyed watching baby geese, going fishing (the boys did most of that :)), seeing the fish cranes fly in, the duck family, and many beautiful sunsets. I hope you are enjoying your summer! It is flying by way too fast for my liking 🙂

We are "down to earth", common farmers. Date nights rarely occur. He forgets special days, and I don't always tell him how much I appreciate him. I am not qualified to give marriage advice. But I do know we need to fight for our marriages! Fight, because the mundane, stressful, irritating things can pull us apart if we don't. Love doesn't have to be something grand, or showy. It shows up in the way we serve and honor each other♡ For me, I want to work harder at showing him I care. A text, an extra long hug, really listening to him, praying for him. All things I want to improve, and be more intentional in doing. What ways do you "fight" for your marriage?

Some thoughts I had this week.. I do not like conflict. I I don't like to be seen as judgmental and "holy". So after last Sunday's Super Bowl halftime, and all the social media upheaval and conflict over it, I mostly remained quiet. But my heart was heavy.. How do I teach my teen and pre-teen son to respect women who don't respect themselves? How do I teach them the importance of integrity, modesty, and that beauty from within is more important than outward beauty? What will my toddler son face someday in this society? In a world that is full of immoral behavior and immodesty, trafficking and pornography, I don't think its time for mothers who want to raise godly sons, to be passive. But what can we do? I feel so unqualified to be a mother sometimes! So lacking in wisdom. But we can all do something, even if it feels small or unimportant. So I will commit to praying more for my sons. Teaching them when to look away, or walk away. And when they are old enough to have someone special in their life, to look for the girl who radiates beauty from within. I would love to hear any truths or wisdom you want to share!!
