On what I did this weekend

I ran four miles today with my sister. It was the first time in years that I had that euphoria that comes from running. It's like a drug. My sister is 25, as you'll recall. She was very gracious in pretending that she was keeping pace with me. She could have kicked my butt, no doubt.

Tim and I were in California for the weekend. We hung out with my grandparents, his grandpa, and his folks. But mostly my grandparents.
See, My grandparents love me. They have poured into my life more that all other people combined (save my mom). They are worthy of my respect. When I was looking for a man...I was looking for a man like Granny married.
This was the first time my Tim had met my grandparents.
It was Very Good.
As an extra bonus, the sun was shining. Love that.

We sat on the patio in the sun. Granny and Grandpa in their winter sweaters, me and Tim in Summer clothes. We soaked up the sun and talked about things that really matter. We talked about the kids, and the past, and the church, and the news. The hummingbirds dived through the air around us, and we exalted in relationship.

Relationship is God-like. It is what He designed us for, and it flows through our veins.

I love the relationships I have. They are a gift.
I love my grandparents.
I love my man.
