We spent time talking about important things. It would have ended up an argument, but the Spirit working in our hearts helped us (at least, myself) speak in love rather than out of self-centered wrath. With time, may our Lord continue to help us adapt to the discomfort in this process of learning to grow together and becoming one through marriage.
And yes, my dear has been wonderfully patient when I wasn’t. He cherishes our memories – something that warms even my aloof heart. It is interesting how it was my loner-hood that first drew his attention, him being a natural comforter who has the tendency to reach out to people who look like they’ve got no company. It made me feel fuzzy within as we recounted our memories together – may we continue to remember these beautiful days even as we grow old
We held hands and read a book together (“Now that you are engaged” kindly gifted to us by Mr and Mrs B. Loy ^^), pausing at the interesting questions or laughing out loud at the points that resonated with us. We may have looked a strange sight at the Nex MacDonalds doing this, but it is promising as the beginning of many beautiful reading moments like this. I daresay I haven’t enjoyed a regular book as much as this before.
I wrote those because I want to retain these memories and recount them in days to come. Love is made of the past, present and future, because it originated from the One and Only God who is there past, present and future and all around.
