A Cord of Three Strands

So when Angel told me that he asked someone from church if we could borrow they're cabin for the weekend, I was thrilled. I said "the kids will love it!"

"The kids? They'll be with Grammy" he said skeemishly.

I have to admit, my heart sank. They have become the joy of my life. "What are we going to do by ourselves the whole weekend? No Kids. No TV. No cell phone service. Friday. Saturday. Sunday."

He just smiled.

It was a good time away together. Just us two. Something that I'm not used to. I really thought we might actually be board without our kids and wouldn't have much to talk about. I was wrong. We needed to reconnect, enjoy being married, and strengthen our cord. At the end of the weekend I was really proud of him for making me feel so special! Gracias mi Amor! Thankyou Bakers for letting us retreat for the weekend at your place. Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the kids. Thankyou Lord for a cord of three strands.
Ecc 4:12
"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."


After church on Sunday, we met up with my mom who had the kids and she brought them out for the rest of the afternoon.

"Scoot over, I was sitting there first, give it back" shortly reminded me to be even more thankful for the time alone with my husband...as much as we missed the kids.



On our way home squeezed in more fun and drove up to the top of Massanutten Peak to see some beautiful views.



Then we checked out their new Water Park and stopped by the Arcade. This is a new birthday party idea that Alisia's thinking about and planning for July.

Back to life! Recharged and Ready.

Matthew 19:4-6
"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
