One of my fondest memories growing up is hearing my parents recount their day or what happened in church service as the evening grew to a close. Even though I couldn't understand exactly what was being said through closed doors, this daily routine was inspiring. It always seemed as though they were on one accord and would agree with whatever the other one stated. I have grown to treasure these times in my own marriage. How great it is to have someone to share any and everything with daily. We have the luxury to leave it on our pillows at the end of the day, trusting that it stays with us and the Lord.
So often with modern technology, we quickly text, email and post to social media. We don't stop to think that this information may as well be running across a ticker in Times Square. Tag lines of "keep this between us", "you didn't hear this from me"....etc don't guarantee the security of your message. Deleting texts and emails and removing posts doesn't undo what was said.
Matthew 12:36-37 "But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment."For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
Be mindful in your speech. Make sure your words are true......and necessary.
Love Y'all!!!
That's a beautiful memory that has become a tradition for you. Such a wonderful thing that you can pass down to your children. I look forward to having someone to make memories with.
