I'm Loving You

Kari love pjs

He called around dinnertime, as the noise around me was reaching a hungry crescendo. We talked about his flight, his plans for a dinner meeting, his jampacked schedule the following day. And then he said what he always says, every time he closes a phone call, tinkering only with location, "I'm loving you in Miami."

"I love you, too."​

We speak the words. Again and again, throughout a lifetime. Loving. What does it mean?

Please join me at Momheart today to talk about love and loving.

After a hot breakfast, take a walk. Leave the dishes, the routine, the things on your to-do list. Take everyone with you, but tell them it's a silent walk. See how long you can all just listen to the outdoors.

Pray

Set a timer to go off every hour today. Every time it rings, offer a prayer of thanksgiving for the gift of your husband.

Pray

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.

He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children forever. 

(Lk 1:46-55)
