I was eating lunch with my family today prior to flying out of town to teach an Every Man's Battle workshop in Florida. As we were eating, we started talking about how much Daddy loves Mommy. My youngest daughter, Sarah Noelle (age 5), in between bites of her peanut butter sandwich says to everyone, "Keep hugging, keep kissing, keep loving, and she will know." Wow! I was ready to give her an honorary counseling degree. She nailed it. She sees mommy and daddy do a lot of this at times and maybe we're more consistent at it than we first thought. I think Sarah is onto something here. When the love is flowing between husband and wife in the way Sarah described, it means something is safe and consistent in the connection relationally, emotionally and spiritually. She not only sees it, she feels it and it made perfect sense to her. Rebecca and I have a big task at hand - continuing the expression of our love and keeping our hearts in shape because it is not only increasing our love but also making a huge impression on the little hearts around us as well. Hope your heart is well today...in struggle or joy... Peace.
