Life is more than just the living






















"When my husband Art and I were first married we struggled a lot! We both brought loads of unrealistic expectations into our marriage. And instead of our first years being blissfully romantic, they were spent sifting through layer after layer of hurt and disappointment.

In our early years, Art’s grandfather wrote us a letter with these wise words: "Life is more than just the living of it. Now, you two discover it together." And by the grace of God we are doing just that.

Now, I love the thought of us one day sitting in old yard chairs able to speak volumes with just a glance and a nod because we invested time into our marriage.

The greatest of legacies aren't necessarily built around the big moments of life marked with anniversary dates. They are built around seemingly small moments, a nod and a smile worth a thousand words.” - Lysa TerKeurst
