Yesterday was the 18th anniversary of the day I married my best friend. It was the beginning of a journey that has taught me many lessons–some repeatedly. I could probably do a post a day for the next 18 years and still not touch all the lessons I have learned. We won’t go there. Instead, I’ll just share how we chose to spend the day.
Steve is a huge history buff. I also enjoy history–especially with Steve’s color commentary added into the mix. So, we set out to explore The Hermitage. I had been there as a chaperone for field trips, but Steve had never been. It was a lot of fun. We enjoyed taking our time and listening to each of the audio segments on the headsets provided. It was interesting to imagine how life must have been on the plantation so many years ago.
I couldn’t help but wonder what people would learn from our home and lives if they studied them years from now. I have no desire to be famous or to have people tour my homestead one day. However, I do hope people would be able to learn from our mistakes, laugh at our crazy antics, and be inspired to do more–to make a bigger impact on the Kingdom. May our family always point others to a “real-ationship” with our amazing God.
