Since New Years Day, my beloved and I have been "freshening up" our domicile. As we are about to enter our 3rd year in our house we decided it was high time we got about painting those rooms we had always intended to when we first bought the place. We started by painting the kitchen on New Year's Day and that blossomed into painting the bathroom, the hallways, the master bedroom and the basement room. We also converted the basement room from a rarely used guest bedroom/storage site to a fully functional playroom for the boys (and they've been down there everyday since!) Painting the bedroom also involved shifting of furniture into a whole new fresh look. We are by no means finished. The basement bathroom will be remodeled this spring with new fixtures and flooring and the boys rooms may be due for a coat of paint also.
No structural changes mind you. Just a bit of freshening what is already there. A new color here, a new arrangement there but all still the original stuff. That is how my wife and I like it. We are constantly tinkering with the arrangement, with the colors and adornments, but never with the structure. Same as in our marriage. We like it to be fresh. Trying new things and new ways of doing old things, but never outside of that original blessed structure that God has joined. We are like minded in that we both love to rearrange constantly, and yet the one arrangement neither of us would ever think of redoing is the one God has so richly blessed us with...our lives together as one. I love you my sister--my bride!
