The Rudder

My wife has been on an extended business trip since Thanksgiving. I miss her very much.

Knowing another person intimately is surely one of life's great joys. But eventually, you may think you come to the point where you believe there is all there is to know about them. As ruts lay their trail, we settle into stagnation don't we? Think about a stagnant pond, how does it get that way? No new water enters as the old ceases movement. Pond scum chokes out life due to lack activity and oxygen, and then stinks up the area. Only when things get flowing again, does the stagnancy break up and dissipate.

Understand, this is fairly common in most, if not all relationships. How we respond is the key.

Time apart can serve us well as we put things in perspective. If, when we see them again, we allow ourselves to really observe them as we did when we first met. By doing that, those moment's of spark can reignite into a flame, as we travel down memory lane.

As you listen to this vid let the rain of God's floodgates flow.
